City look like the early favourites at present.
Not sure if United are contenders yet. The highest placed team they have played was southampton, who are 12th, and were lucky to get the win against them.
They have played in the league so far West ham (15th), Swansea City (18), Leicester (17), Stoke (13), Everton (16), Southampton (12), and today Crystal palace who are 20th. Im not sure United could have had an easier start to the league than that. Not one team in the top half of the league after 7 games.
