United would probably hope to be doing better, but they’re definitely not out of it
But Giggs, who left United after the arrival of Mourinho in the summer, believes the Red Devils are not out of the title race yet.
“There was obviously big expectation with [Jose] Mourinho coming in, and the players who they brought in – Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Paul Pogba, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Eric Bailly,” Giggs told Sport Magazine.
“They got off to a good start and then it’s just been a struggle with consistency, really.
“But I think it’s a really open league this year, and I don’t think they’re in a really bad position.

“It’s one of those seasons where people are just going to change their minds all the way through – at the moment Liverpool are on fire, at the start it was City, then it was Tottenham.
“It’s just a really close league. United would probably hope to be doing better, but they’re definitely not out of it.”
