Morgan Schneiderlin's claim about Wayne Rooney after Manchester United return to form
MORGAN SCHNEIDERLIN insists he never doubted Wayne Rooney's ability to lead a Manchester United revival and claims the Premier League title is not yet out of reach.
Morgan Schneiderlin has claimed that Manchester United can still win the Premier League
Rooney's seven goals in eight games since he was dropped for United's dismal Boxing Day defeat at Stoke have been pivotal in potentially rescuing United's season and keeping manager Louis van Gaal in a job.
United midfielder Schneiderlin said: "He always has confidence. Footballers can have some spells without scoring - everyone has it, even Messi and Ronaldo, so it can happen to anyone. It doesn't mean they have lost their talents, it can just happen in life."
Reigning Premier League Champions Chelsea are next up for United at Stamford Bridge on Sunday (4pm).
