They may have beaten them to win the Community Shield, but the Blues boss remains convinced that the Red Devils will be his side's main rivals this season.
Chelsea beat Manchester United on penalties at Wembley today after a 2-2 draw in the Community Shield, giving them an early boost as they look to reclaim the title from the Old Trafford giants.
However, Blues manager Carlo Ancelotti is attaching little significance to today's result, and thinks that Sir Alex Ferguson's men will still prove to be his side's main rivals over the course of the coming campaign.
"Manchester (United) will be the most important opponent in the Premiership because they are a great team and have great experience," Ancelotti told The Guardian.
The Italian does feel that his side can improve further, but was impressed with plenty that he saw from his players in today's Wembley outing.
"Naturally, we still have to improve because we've changed a little bit the play of the team," he added.
"But I like the players' mental attitude and the organisation of the club, and I think we are ready to start a very important season for us."
