EXTRA TIME: United fan Jeremy Brockie backs Manchester City to win Premier League

That's Mamelodi Sundowns striker Jeremy Brockie, the New Zealand player who supports the Red Devils down here in South Africa.

Then Brockie goes on to predict that the Golden Boot will be between Sergio Aguero and Harry Kane. Yes, a real United fan ignoring Mohamed Salah there. What do you think?

The Red Devils play the first Premier League game of the season when they host Leicester City on Friday night.
