Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney explains why he wants City to beat Liverpool to the Premier League title
Wayne Rooney could not bear to see Liverpool end their 29-year wait for a league title.The boyhood Everton fan, who played for the Toffees as well as Manchester United, worries for his ears if the Reds win the Premier League because fans would still be talking about it in 15 years time just like they do about their most recent Champions League success.3

Rooney, who played for grew up supporting Everton and then played for Liverpool’s other rivals, Manchester United, told talkSPORT he doesn’t want to hear Kopites talking about a major trophy win for the next 15 years like they do with their 2005 Champions League win

Its a two-horse race at the top as Liverpool, who last won the league in 1990, and Manchester City battle it out for glory, with it looking like it will go down to the wire.Its a great reason to be out the country when those two are going head to head for the title, Rooney, who plays for MLS side DC United, joked with talkSPORT. Whilst acknowledging City and Liverpool are the two best teams in the country, the 33-year-old clearly has a preference on who he wants to see crowned champions.I hope Man City get over the line before Liverpool, he told the Drivetime show.“I couldnt bear to see them win it, it would be a nightmare for any Evertonian.I remember in 2005 they won the Champions League and theyre still talking about it now so it would be another 10 or 15 years of that!3

Liverpool currently lead City by two points, with Pep Guardiola’s reigning champions having a game in hand.They host Tottenham at Anfield next, while City head to Fulham.

Asked about City and England flyer Raheem Sterling, who has scored 15 Premier League goals this season and created nine, Rooney credited Guardiola’s influence.“Raheem has always had the talent and the ability but the one thing he has improved on massively is his knowledge of the game and tactically he is a lot better since working with Pep Guardiola.“He is doing fantastic so I am really pleased for him, adding the abuse the 24-year-old has received in the past is ‘baffling’.“He will be up for Player of the Year for sure this season, he is doing fantastic.”3
