we can catch chelsea

WAYNE Rooney is convinced if any club can overhaul Chelsea this season, Manchester United can.
The Blues still boast a 10-point cushion over Sir Alex Ferguson's side despite the loss of their 40-game unbeaten Premiership run at Old Trafford on Sunday.
Jose Mourinho remains bullish about Chelsea's chances of landing back-to-back titles and the bookmakers agree with the Stamford Bridge coach.

But, in his new DVD 'Wayne Rooney - My First Year at Manchester United', the England striker insists United can still mount a forceful challenge to Chelsea.
"If any club can do it, we can," said Rooney.
"Obviously Chelsea have had a good start but we hope they will drop some points and we can catch them up.

"The Premier League is our priority this season. A club of this size needs to be winning trophies and we have a good enough squad to be doing that."

After finishing last season as United's top scorer, with some wondrous strikes among his 17-goal haul, including a hat-trick on his debut against Fenerbahce, Rooney's first campaign for the Red Devils following his £27million move from Everton could not have gone much better.
The obvious downside was a lack of silverware, with disappointing Premiership and Champions League campaigns compounded by an FA Cup final shoot-out defeat to Arsenal.
