W. Rooney: "Man Utd" wins the "Premier" league" © PA

After going through tough times following Sir Alex Ferguson's departure, the "Manchester United" team seems to be seriously aiming for the "Premier League" title this season. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's players are currently leading the standings, although the "Manchester City" team, trailing by two points, has a game in hand. The legend of the "Red Devils" and current "Derby County" manager Wayne Rooney is convinced that his former team will lift yet another "Premier League" trophy in the spring.

"In recent seasons, the 'Manchester United' team was not ready to fight for the title, but now they have players like Bruno Fernandes and Edinson Cavani, who have a winner's mentality. This is very important for such a team. This season, they are realistically competing for the league title. About six weeks ago, I told my colleagues that 'Man Utd' will win the 'Premier League'. I still hold the same opinion. A lot will depend on Paul Pogba's form. He takes off some pressure from other players. Recently, we have seen that Pogba is a top-class player," Rooney said in a press conference before the upcoming match against QPR.
