Cabaye insists United are more of a team than local rivals Manchester City, who are currently at the top of the table.
“I think it will be between the two Manchester clubs,” he said in the Daily Mirror.
“United are more like a team, because they have been together for a long time. The players have gelled very well together.
“City look less like a team, more like a group of individuals. But [then] they haven’t been together for as long. If City gel, they will be a very good team.
“United know what they have to do, and they have a good manager.”
