Wayne Rooney makes Premier League title prediction as Manchester United tops the list
Wayne Rooney has backed his former club Manchester United to win the Premier League title and shared his praise on Bruno Fernandes and Edinson Cavani for bringing a "winning mentality" to Old Trafford.
The Red Devils are currently leading the league table, following their 2 - 1 win over Fulham on Wednesday night.
And speaking about the club's title chances, the ex-United man told Sky Sports: "In the last few years Manchester United haven’t been ready to challenge for the title. But now they’ve built a strong of players.
"[Bruno] Fernandes coming in has helped massively. [Edinson] Cavani, with that winning mentality, has helped massively. Now the squad is challenging for a Premier League title.
"I said six weeks ago to the coaches in the office that I thought Manchester United would win the league and I still think that today.
"Paul Pogba will have a massive part to play in that. They’ve brought players in with winning mentalities and now Paul can do what he does best and show his quality on the pitch."
