Manchester United’s ace striker, Wayne Rooney, admitted at the end of the campaign that the whole team was overwhelmed after winning the Premier League crown. Manchester United in the end finished with a nine point advantage over Chelsea and won its fourth
title in five seasons. Despite criticism of United throughout the season of not being at their best, they managed to win the league with the biggest difference from the team in second position in more than a decade.

nowhere near," said Rooney.

If we had lost that game they would have been in the leading position”.
The front man commended the team’s performance in that game against the former champions, and said that it is the ability of a team to rise in such games that separates best from the rest.
"But we showed our true spirit to win after that, Chelsea's season was over," he said.
