Wayne Rooney has insisted that Manchester United have not written off Chelsea as challengers in the Premier League title race, despite holding a ten-point advantage over them.
"We certainly haven't written Chelsea off," Rooney told the BBC. "They are a big, strong side and we know if anyone is capable of going on a run it is them. But we know it's up to us where the title goes."
Rooney said that he hoped his goals would kick-start in his own scoring form because before facing Villa, he had scored only twice in the Premier League this season.
"Obviously I want to score. As a striker you want to score goals but I have been happy with my performances, apart from the Blackpool match last week. "
Rooney added "I'm delighted to have scored and hopefully I can go on a run now and help the team to win games."
Its true that Rooney hasn't been in top scoring form this season, yet his role this season was to assist and be the playmaker.
