Wayne Rooney thinks Liverpool can pose title threat

11 April 2012

Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney has tipped Liverpool to be the Premier League dark horses this season.

A boyhood Evertonian, Liverpool were always the enemy and after scoring the penalty which sealed United's record title triumph, Rooney posted a picture on Twitter showing he had the number 19 shaved into his chest hair.

However, he does recognise the revolution that has taken place under Kenny Dalglish and although it might be 21 years since Liverpool last finished top, Rooney thinks they have the capability to end that run.

"I think Liverpool will challenge this time," he said.

"They have made some really good signings - British players - and, under Kenny Dalglish, I am sure they will be fighting harder than they ever have done to be up there.

"They will think they have a chance of winning the title."
