Wayne: We're in charge
>> Monday, February 7, 2011
MANUTD-Wayne Rooney says United are currently in command of the title race but warns it's too early to write off rivals like reigning champions Chelsea.
The Reds go into Saturday's tea-time game at Wolves with a five-point lead over Arsenal. And while Chelsea are a further five points behind United, their vast experience and this week’s big-money recruitment of Fernando Torres and David Luiz means they cannot be dismissed.
“Certainly we haven’t written them off,” Rooney told MUTV. “They’re a strong team and we know if anyone’s capable of going on a good run, it’s them. But we know we have to just do our job and we can’t really look at what they’re doing. We just have to concentrate on what we’re doing. It’s really up to us now where the title goes, and hopefully we can win that back.”
United, Chelsea and Arsenal all have 14 games remaining and, after the Reds’ impressive midweek win over Villa, Sir Alex Ferguson is keen for his side to extend their form and run down the rest of the calendar.
“That’s what we want to do - to keep knocking off games and to keep on winning.”
