Wayne Rooney wary of resurrected Chelsea
Manchester United striker, Wayne Rooney, claims that the Red Devils have not written off Chelsea as title contenders this season.
Even though Sir Alex’s team have a ten point advantage over the current English champions, Rooney believes that the Blues are more than capable of clawing their way back up the table.
Chelsea are showing signs of returning to their deadly best after enduring their worst slump in form in more than 15 years. Carlo Ancelotti’s men have managed to win their last four games, ensuring that they remain within the top four in the League table.
However, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 are not settling for fourth place.
The Blues recently acquired the duo of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Fernando-Torres-c13707 for a whopping 70 million pounds in a bid to retain their crown this season. It is a huge statement of intent from Chelsea, who now have arguably the best front-line in the Barclays Premier
League.
Manchester United’s http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Wayne-Rooney-c36736 is wary of the resurrected Blues. The striker is high on confidence after scoring a brace against Aston Villa yesterday, but he remains realistic about his side’s title chances this season.
Rooney said, “We certainly haven't written Chelsea off. They are a big strong side and we know if anyone is capable of going on a good run then it is them. But we know it is up to us where the title goes and hopefully we can win it back”.
The Red Devils managed to retain their 5 point advantage at the summit of the League table, easily seeing off Aston Villa at Old Trafford on Tuesday. Rooney’s two goals before half time sent United on their way, and a third goal from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Nemanja-Vidic-c27550 sealed
all three points for the Red Devils.
Wayne Rooney has been a shadow of his former self for most of the campaign, but his performance against Aston Villa is sure to silence the critics, who believe that the striker has lost his golden touch.
The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 international was upbeat after getting his first brace in over a year, saying, “I have been happy with my play but obviously I want to score. I am delighted to have scored and hopefully I can go on a run now and help the team to win games".
Manchester United are now favourites to win their 19th Premier League crown, but in a season with so many ups-and-downs already, even the bravest of pundits would be hard-pressed to predict the destination of the crown.
