"United had a bad first part of the season and I think for a couple of games now, they played well.

"They have good players and the squad is very good. The manager is good, so they will be second or third.

"Tottenham also are strong. We lost there, but for me it is more Manchester United.

"They are more experienced. That is my opinion, maybe I'm wrong."

The Belgian added: "In tactics and training we do more with Conte. We know exactly what to do.
