As the Premier League title race heats up, Wayne Rooney, drawing on his extensive experience as a five-time Premier League winner with Manchester United, has weighed in on who he believes will come out on top this season. With Arsenal and Liverpool currently level on points at the summit of the table, and Manchester City lurking just behind, the race for the title is tighter than ever.
Liverpool’s recent draw against Manchester United at Old Trafford, despite initially taking the lead through Luis Diaz, showcased the unpredictable nature of the league. While the Reds managed to salvage a point thanks to Mohamed Salah’s late penalty, Rooney emphasizes the importance of experience in such crucial moments. With managers like Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp at the helm, Rooney believes their wealth of experience in title races could give their teams the edge over Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal in the final stretch of the season.
“I know it’s only seven games, but there is a lot that will happen from now until the end of the season,” Rooney told Premier League Productions.
“I loved Klopp’s [post-match] interview there because inside he will be fuming. But he has shown his calmness and experience of winning the Premier League title before.
“He has shown his experience that Guardiola has as well, but we are yet to see if Arteta has that in the last few weeks, so I think that will be important.
“I still think Liverpool will nick it.”
