Rooney says Arsenal still has much to prove

Manchester United forward Wayne Rooney has said Arsenal still needs to prove they have the consistency to fight for the English Premier League title this season.

The two sides meet this Sunday with the Gunners eight points clear of United at the top of the table after a blistering start to the campaign.

And Rooney believes Arsenal still has to show they can last the distance of the 38-game season.

“We’ve beaten Arsenal many times in the past. They are in good form at the minute, they’re top of the league, so we know it is going to be a difficult game,” Rooney said. “But we have to go into the game confident that this is the game that will bring us back into the mix.

“We’ll have to wait and see where they are in March. We’ve seen before that they’ve been in the top two until February, March time and then dropped off,” added the striker.
