“I can see ManU winning the Premiere League title” Derby Boss Rooney Reveals

Derby County boss Wayne Rooney believes Manchester United are capable of winning the Premier League this season.

United last took the title in 2013, Sir Alex Ferguson’s final season. Since then David Moyes, Louis van Gaal and Jose Mourinho have failed to emulate the Scot but Solskjaer has guided them to the top of the table, where they are two points clear of Manchester City.

“It’s the first time in a few years where you can see Manchester United feel they can win this league and I believe they can,” said Rooney, who was made permanent boss of Championship strugglers Derby last week.

“Six weeks ago I said to the coaches in the office here that I felt United would win the league – I still feel that today. When I watch them they excite me.

“Bruno Fernandes and Edinson Cavani, with their winning mentalities, have helped massively, and Paul Pogba will have a big part to play.

“The players with winning mentalities will relieve a bit of the pressure on Paul so he can show his quality on the pitch.
