Manchester United legend and current Reading manager Jaap Stam has come out and backed his former side to come away as Premier League champions.

The Reading coach suggested that with the increase in quality in their side they have all the capabilities to come away with the Premier League crown.

“I think they can because they have a lot of quality,” Stam said to Skybet in Monday’s live Q&A.

“They brought in players with a lot of quality. The only thing is there are lots of other teams who brought in quality who can win it as well.”

“That’s what makes it very interesting. But they certainly have the quality and with the manager they have and the mentality of players within the squad, I’m certain they can go all the way.”

Stam won three straight Premier League titles from 1999-01 and enjoyed a reputation as one of Europe’s most fearsome defenders.

After leaving Manchester United, the Dutchman enjoyed spells in the Serie A with Lazio and AC Milan, before ending his playing career in Holland with Ajax.
