Despite having sold the club's most prolific striker and being a bit light in midfield and Wayne Rooney insists United can win the Premier League title back from Chelsea.

"We are credible challengers," said Rooney.

"This is a big season for us. We have said it before but we have to win it this year.

"Manchester United are one of the biggest clubs in the world and to go three or four seasons without winning the league is not good enough.

"We have the talent and quality to win the title but we have to work harder as a team and sign the players that can win us the league."

"I think we've been disappointed with the last couple of seasons not to win the league," Rooney continued.

"That's what we have to be looking at, we have to win the league this year, although a lot more teams have now got stronger.

"You look at Liverpool and Arsenal. Liverpool have made a lot of signings and will be a threat as well.

"We have to stay together and try and have a full squad throughout the season. I think we have definitely got the quality to win the league."
