Rooney knows trio's importance
-
Wayne Rooney believes the experience of Ryan Giggs, Gary Neville and Paul Scholes will be key in helping Manchester United to the Premiership title.
United are six points clear of Chelsea at the top of the table and well on the way to their ninth Premiership crown.
Giggs, Neville and Scholes have been around for most of the Red Devils' recent successes and Rooney knows the importance of the trio as the season reaches its climax.
While Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo make the headlines, the England striker expects the experienced members to keep a calm within the United dressing room.
"Their experience will be vital for us," Rooney told MUTV.
"They have been there and done it all before. It gives young players like myself and Cristiano Ronaldo someone to look up to and see how they are coping with the situation.
"Hopefully then we can do the same."
Rooney is confident the United squad is capable of holding off Chelsea's charge to claim the title, but will not get carried away.
"There has always been confidence and belief in the team," he added.
"We know we are getting towards the end of the season but we just have to keep on doing as we have been.
"We do not want to throw away the lead we have got. We have to try and win all our games. If we do that, we will be okay." -
