Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney has admitted his frustration at seeing Liverpool challenging for the title.
With Manchester United giving up their title without putting up much of a fight, Rooney has admitted that seeing local rivals Liverpool mounting a title challenge has been very frustrating for him.
“To see City doing well, and particularly Liverpool, is really difficult,” the England striker told club magazine Inside United.
“It’s not nice when we know we are capable of being up there challenging and we haven’t been doing that this season.
“However, it means we have to step up and get back up there because the feeling we’ve had this season is not a nice feeling at all to have.
“We have to keep working, keep progressing and finish the season stronger.
“As a group of players and a team we haven’t been good enough this season and we have to put that right.
“After Sir Alex being here for 26 years, there was always going to be a change whoever came in and, in fairness, I think the players have to do better.”
Rooney insists that United have not given up hope of making the top four: “Hopefully we can make the top four but, if not, we will still come back firing for next season.”
If Liverpool can come away from Old Trafford on Sunday with 3 points then many will still believe that they can still win their first Barclays Premier League Title, anything less than a win and their dreams will be over for another year.
