Rooney: United Can Still Win The Title

Wayne Rooney believes
Manchester United’s €186
million summer spending
spree could secure the
Premier League title this
season.

United completed moves for Radamel Falcao, Angel Di
Maria, Marcos Rojo, Daley Blind, Ander Herrera and
Luke Shaw during the transfer window but are already
10 points behind Premier League leaders Chelsea.

Rooney, however, who insists the club have always
had the potential to spend big on 'top players', feels
Louis van Gaal’s new-look squad are capable of
challenging for the title.

"We always could [sign top players] but it was a case
of who the manager at the time wanted to bring in.
Obviously last season, we know we were not good
enough," Rooney told reporters.
"But the time is now right to get these top players to
get us back to where we belong – back to winning
titles.

"It's exciting times, it's interesting times for United.
We've not got off to the best start but we are
confident."

Falcao, along with Blind and Rojo, is set to make his
Premier League debut against QPR on Sunday after
join on a season-long loan from Monaco, and Rooney
is buoyed by the arrival of the Colombia international.

"He's a world-class player," said the recently-named
England captain. "It's a great statement of intent from
the club and I am looking forward to working with him.

"I've seen him play throughout the years and he's a
fantastic player. It's exciting, and also for the Premier
League as well, for him to come over.

"He could have gone to a number of other clubs but
it's great he's come over and we've got him. "It's
down to the manager how he chooses to play. He's
got myself, Falcao, [Robin] Van Persie, Di Maria, and
[Juan] Mata. So it's a great selection of players for
him to pick from."
