EPL: Rooney names team that’ll not win title, predicts top four clubs this season

Former Manchester United star Wayne Rooney has stated that it is unrealistic to anticipate the team securing the Premier League title this season. The 40-year-old, who played for the iconic club for 13 seasons, predicts the Red Devils will finish the campaign in fourth place. Rooney told Metro, "I would accept a top-four finish.

I believe fourth is achievable, but I still think they need to sign two or three more players." According to Rooney, the competition for the top four slots will be fierce, with Arsenal, Manchester City, Chelsea, Tottenham, and Liverpool all expected to improve upon their previous performances. Liverpool, in particular, is anticipated to become a stronger team.

Rooney added that Arsenal could potentially overtake Manchester United. "Arsenal have the capability to pull ahead, but we might witness numerous changes behind them," he commented. Rooney believes that Michael Carrick's contribution in helping the team return to the Champions League has been invaluable. However, he is convinced that a Premier League title this year is not a realistic expectation.

"I don't think they will win the Premier League this year," Rooney said. The Manchester United team will take on Hull City in a Premier League match on August 22.
