Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney believes Premier League title is within their reach
Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney has all but ensured that his side would be lifting the Premier League title come the end of the ongoing 2010-11 season.
The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 international’s sensational hat-trick against West Ham United over the weekend has resulted in the Red Devils opening up a whopping seven-point gap at the top of the League standings.
While Wayne Rooney remains wary of his side’s remaining fixtures, the striker still believes that the Premier League title is almost certainly headed to Old Trafford.
Speaking on the title race, Rooney said, “Big games keep coming but you live for games like these. In some ways, we have to say our season starts now. We have seven more league games - four at home. Our home form has been brilliant.”
He added, “It is a great challenge for us and something all the players are looking forward to.”
Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has hailed Saturday’s display against West Ham United as a ‘Championship winning performance,” and indeed, he may be right. The Red Devils were two goals down at half time, but once again, they showed the spirit
of Champions to win 4-2 on the night.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Wayne-Rooney-c36736 in particular got all the headlines for his phenomenal second half hat-trick- a performance that might just have single-handedly won United the Premier League title.
Arsenal and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 both dropped points to allow the Red Devils to move seven points clear at the top of the Premier League table. It is a gulf that seems too wide now for any side to bridge, meaning that Sir Alex Ferguson’s men will now almost surely make
history by winning their 19th Premier League crown.
Even West Ham midfielder Gary O’Neil was forced to tip his hat to United manager Sir Alex Ferguson for his tactical decisions. O’Neil claimed that the introduction of Javier Hernandez and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Dimitar-Berbatov-c11254 in the second half was the reason his side surrendered
their two-goal lead.
Manchester United have secured 66 points from the 31 games played so far in the season.
