Scholes : Manchester United can win Premier League title this year

Former Manchester United midfielder Paul Scholes has pinpointed his former team to challenge for the tittle come may next year after seeing off Newcastle in yesterday boxing day clash.
“If United win their next two games [away against Tottenham and Stoke City], I wouldn’t be surprised if they do what Liverpool did last year – go on a great run, a big run, and put pressure on the top two,” he told the Daily Mirror.
“Then, once you get to the Champions League, United will have the free weeks and hopefully they can take advantage.”
The celebrated United Legend was also full of praise for Skipper Wayne Rooney who scored twice despite playing as a deep midfielder.

“Wayne was top class,” he enthused. “I still think he is a top centre forward but he is capable of playing that midfield role when he drops back into it.
“It is an art to run from midfield into scoring positions but you still have to finish them and Wayne did. I thought he was brilliant all day.” he continued.
