In Erik ten Hag’s first season at Old Trafford, United finished third – 14 points behind Man City – and ended a six-year wait for a trophy by winning the League Cup.
The Red Devils have bolstered Ten Hag’s squad this summer with the signings of Mason Mount, Andre Onana and Rasmus Hojlund.
Redknapp believes the new additions will take Manchester United to another level and help the club win the Premier League for the first time in over a decade.
United will face competition from Manchester City, who bagged a third successive title last season, and Arsenal, who came close to winning the Premier League for the first time since 2004.
‘There’s no doubt Manchester City will be in a genuine fight again… and I can see this one going the distance,’ former Premier League manager Redknapp told The Sun.
‘Arsenal will no doubt still be kicking themselves at not seeing it through from such a strong position. The bookies actually made them favourites at one stage.
‘So they’ll be determined to go one step better and Kai Havertz, Jurrien Timber and especially Declan Rice are fantastic buys who will make them even stronger.
‘But while it wouldn’t be the greatest surprise to see Arsenal as champions, I’m actually tipping the Premier League to stay in Manchester. Just not with the team everyone thinks.
‘Erik ten Hag did a great job in his first season at United and he’s another who has had a decent summer in the market.
‘I’ve always liked Mason Mount and he is a great addition to the midfield while Andre Onana is one of the best keepers in the world.
‘Rasmus Hojlund might not have been their first choice for a new striker at the start of the summer but he looks a great prospect.
‘As good a season Marcus Rashford had last time, United have been after a goalscoring centre-forward for ages. This lad could be the answer.
‘I must admit, I’d fancy them even more if they’d have gone out and spent £100million on Harry Kane. That would have been very hard for Daniel Levy to turn down.
‘But, even so, I think United are fantastic value and in my book they will be a real threat to everyone this season.
‘It’s Manchester United to edge it for me, with Man City and Arsenal filling the places.’
