Wayne Rooney has stated that Manchester United’s experience and persistence in the second half of the season will stand them in good stead in the race for the Premier League title.
The Old Trafford outfit are three points adrift of cross-town rivals Manchester City at the top of the Premier League, as the pair fight it out for superiority in the English top flight.
Despite the players at Roberto Mancini’s disposal, Rooney feels that his side have the necessary track record to overtake City in the title race.
“We relish this part of the season,” he told reporters at a press conference, which was covered by The Daily Mail.
“Once we get into the new year we can see a bit of light at the end of the tunnel. Every game is massive and we don’t want to be dropping points.
“But I always feel we are at our best around now because we can see the end of the season and that there are trophies there to be won.
“That’s why we stay focused and, more often than, not we’re always there at the end.
“The next three or four weeks will be exciting.
“We understand and know what we have to do. We need to prepare ourselves the best way we can and hopefully get the results we need,” he stated.
