We are going to win premier league Rooney claim

Manchester United captain Wayne Rooney claims
his side have the belief to catch Chelsea and
Manchester City and claim the club’s 21st top
flight title this season.
The Red Devils consolidating their position in
the Premier League top three with a 3-0 victory
over arch rivals Liverpool on Sunday , stretching
their winning streak to six games.
Despite struggling in the opening stages of the
season, manager Louis van Gaal has overseen a
drastic change in fortunes, with the side now just
eight points shy of leaders Chelsea, who are
three points ahead of second-place Man City.
So far this season Chelsea have looked superior
to United, but that does not faze Rooney.
The striker was part of the team that won the
league six seasons ago despite trailing Liverpool
by eight points in January and he also
remembers United's last triumph in 2013, when
they won the title by 11 points despite rarely
blowing sides away.
"I think we have to believe we can win the title,"
Rooney said.
"We are eight points behind and coming into a
busy period.
"If we can win our games and the others have
one bad result then there is nothing there.
"We have to keep winning our games and
hopefully get back to the top and you never
know.
"We won the league two years ago and we
weren't great in a lot of those games but we got
the results.
"We have shown a great resilience this season.
Some of the games haven't gone the way we
would like but we are winning them and that is a
great quality to have.
"We have been here before but we have a lot of
new players and this is where the experience of
myself, Michael Carrick and Darren Fletcher can
rub off on the other players."
Rooney points to several factors behind United's
resurgence, but points to the form of David de
Gea as the most significant following the United
goalkeeper's latest top-class display , where he
denied Reds forwards Raheem Sterling and
Balotelli with a string of superb saves.
"In my eyes he is the best keeper in the world,"
Rooney said without hesitation.
"Sometimes in training you hit a shot and turn
away thinking it has gone in and he just
manages to get there.
"He came through a tough patch early on in his
career here and he is starting to prove what a
top keeper he is.
"I hope he wins some of the top personal
awards. He has had a really good season."
