Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney has declared that he feels Arsenal are still in the hunt for the title as the two clubs prepare to meet at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday.
The last time the two teams met, Manchester United humiliated the Gunners with a 8-2 victory, yet Rooney feels that you cannot write off the side that currently lie in fifth place.
"I certainly wouldn't write Arsenal off, they're capable of going on a big run," Rooney told the BBC. "You can't write them or Chelsea off. It's great for the league that there are so many teams that can win it."
Arsenal are 15 points behind league leaders Manchester City, but with 17 games still remaining, Rooney will not write off the north London club.
"To beat Arsenal 8-2 with the players and history they've got, it was certainly a great result, and a shock as we didn't expect it," continued the England striker.
"But since then, they've gone on a great run and any team under Arsene Wenger is capable of that. It wasn't just that result. It was their start to the season. They weren't getting the results they needed and a lot was said about them."
United are hoping to maintain their hunt for the title as they travel to the Emirates after getting back on track last weekend after losing to Blackburn and Newcastle in their previous two games.
