Wayne wary of Chelsea
Date published: 01 June 2011
Wayne Rooney believes Chelsea will once again be the main Barclays Premier League title threat to Manchester United next season.
Although United's campaign did end on a low note with their chastening Champions League defeat by Barcelona at Wembley, they have been able to celebrate a record 19th championship.
More new faces are anticipated at Manchester City and given they finished last season level on points with Chelsea, and only missed securing the runners–up spot on goal difference, it would appear City are the most likely title challengers.
Yet Rooney is predicting the Stamford Bridge outfit will once again be the team to beat.
"Chelsea will be our main rivals for the league next season," he said.
"They are so strong and powerful and ended the season so well.
"Chelsea, Manchester City, Spurs, Liverpool and Arsenal will all be fighting for top four.”
