Manchester United legend, Wayne Rooney has said that Jose Mourinho’s men has what it takes to challenge rivals, Manchester City for the Premier League title next season.
Mourinho’s side finished 19 points behind Pep Guardiola’s champions last season, but Rooney is confident the Red Devils can make a stronger push for the title next season.
“Obviously they can challenge, it’s a massive club. Last year was different because of how well Manchester City did,” Rooney told BBC Sport.
“In any other year, they might have won the title. A lot of people looked at what Manchester City did and said Manchester United didn’t play that well.
“But they actually had a good season. Obviously, they didn’t win anything but I think they can take confidence from that and I believe they can push Manchester City next season.
“I saw that people said they weren’t playing the most attractive football. But they scored a lot of goals. I think they are getting there. Hopefully, it won’t be long before they win the title again.”
