The Real Madrid superstar spent six years at Old Trafford, where he won three league titles.
Ronaldo believes Sir Alex Ferguson's side will bounce back after giving up the title to City on the last day of the 2011/12 campaign.
"It is the most competitive league in the world, in my opinion ahead of Spain," he told the Daily Mail.
"You have a lot of brilliant players and the league is so intense it's amazing. I watch it in my house every week.
"I think United will do it this year and win their trophy back."
Ronaldo was in Manchester this week for the 1-1 UEFA Champions League draw with the Citizens, and even met up with Ferguson.
But the Portugal international denies he could return to United, saying: "We didn't speak about that [returning to United].
"We just spoke about his moment with Manchester United and mine with Real Madrid. We were just happy to see each other.
"I have enjoyed coming back to Manchester. When we arrived at the airport I was so happy.
"I had a beautiful story here in Manchester so it was nice to see all the fans and a few Manchester United shirts, too - I am always happy to be here."
