Former Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney believes that the team of Jose Mourinho can win the Premier League.

This summer, the English striker moved overseas to the local DC United.

Despite this, Wayne continues to be interested in English football and in particular the results of his former team - Manchester United.

"Obviously, they can compete for the title. MJ is a great club, "Rooney began..

"Last season they did not manage to win the victory just because the City was very good. In any other year, they could become champions with such results ".

"Many people criticized Manchester United for their game, looking at what was up Manchester City. However, in fact they had a good season. They won nothing, but gained confidence. I think next season they can move the City ".

"The fans said that United is not playing the most attractive football, but the team scored a lot of goals. It seems they are approaching the title. I hope they will be able to regain the title as soon as possible ", - quotes Wayne BBC.

As a result of the 2017-2018 season, the "Red Devils" took 2nd place in the Premier League, behind Man City by 19 points.

Earlier it was reported that Rooney scored a productive transfer in his debut match for Di C United.
