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."
