Roy Keane has snubbed the likes of Jurgen Klopp and Thomas Tuchel as he named Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola the best manager in the Premier League.

The former Manchester United midfielder admitted he’d made a mistake failing to back the Cityzens last term, though did add that he wouldn’t rule out Liverpool or Chelsea beating the league leaders to the title this season.

Keane believes that Guardiola is a class above the rest of his rivals and described him as ‘the man’ when discussing the title race alongside former Premier League defender Micah Richards.

‘I remember we did a game last year, I didn’t write off Man City but I think I said they lost their mojo,’ he said on Sky Bet.

‘And then they won the league and it was like a doddle to them.

‘Obviously I know they put in the hard work, but they won it and United finished second but United we’re never going to catch them, I’d never bet against Man City now, I’ve just learnt my lesson from last year.

‘It doesn’t necessarily mean Liverpool or Chelsea can’t pip them to the title, but I think Pep is the man, I look at all of the managers I think Pep is the man.’

When asked by Richards whether he thinks Guardiola is the best, Keane said: ‘I do.

‘People say he’s got the best players, but you still have to manage them, you still have to find a style of play and if you’re going to pick a team to watch it’s going to be Manchester City aren’t you.’
