Manchester United legend Bryan Robson has warned the club can't take it for granted they'll be able to win Premier League titles in the near future.

Robson was dubbed Captain Marvel at Old Trafford and was in Sir Alex Ferguson's squad that ended a 26-year wait to be champions in 1993.

Liverpool have currently gone 29 years without winning the league and United themselves haven't been in contention since Ferguson retired in 2013.

Bryan Robson thinks Manchester United can't expect to win a Premier League title soon

'It's always possible you can go on a run of many years without winning the league. Both ourselves and Liverpool have experienced that. I always think things go in a cycle,' said Robson.

'We are in a spell where we haven't won the title for six years but everyone at the club is working hard to build the squad, hopefully get a little bit more from the existing players already here and get up there to challenge City and Liverpool.

'It's a building process and what we have to do first of all is improve from last season which wasn't good enough.

'I went to the club's player of the year awards at the end of season and you could see from being there how disappointed all the lads were.

'Ole (Solskjaer) looks like he has made a couple of very good young signings, Daniel James and Aaron Wan-Bissaka have really impressed me when I've watched them in training. They both have a lot of pace and energy.

'We'd like to make a couple more signings. That's going to be important, if we do that, you'd have to target a Champions League spot as a priority for us.'

Robson, who also won 90 England caps, sees the Premier League as more competitive than ever. 'You saw that last season with Liverpool and Tottenham in the Champions League final, and Chelsea and Arsenal in the Europa,' he said.
