Wayne Rooney believes Manchester United can hunt down rivals City and Chelsea at the top of the Barclays Premier League.
Rooney turned in a man of the match performance from central midfield at Old Trafford on Friday as United strolled past Newcastle 3-1 in the Barclays Premier League.
The United skipper scored two and made one from his new position and said afterwards: 'We've chased leads down before but we've lost leads as well, and a big number of points before, so anything can happen especially over the next week or two with all the games.
Manuel Pellegrini praised his Manchester City players for keeping the pressure on leaders Chelsea with a record-equalling victory at the start of what he called a ‘key’ week.
City beat West Bromwich Albion 3-1 without a recognised striker and head into their match against Burnley with the chance of winning 10 consecutive games for the first time in their history.
City are three points behind Chelsea, but Pellegrini is targeting top spot by the turn of the new year.
John Terry has warned Chelsea’s heavyweight title rivals they face a ‘tough job’ to knock them off the top of the Premier League table.
The Chelsea skipper scored the first goal, with Diego Costa getting the other, in a 2-0 Boxing Day win over West Ham that keeps them three points clear.
