Rooney insists he’s ‘got a feeling’ over Man City-Liverpool title race

Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney has tipped Liverpool to “nick” the Premier League title this season from under the noses of Manchester City.

Liverpool, who beat Man Utd 4-0 on Tuesday, are currently one point behind the Citizens in the Premier League table with City leading the way for most of the season.

And Rooney reckons Jurgen Klopp’s side will just pip Pep Guardiola’s men to the title this season with six matches remaining.

“I’d prefer none of them but obviously one of them is,” Rooney said on Beanyman Sports.

“I think Liverpool might nick it. I think they’ve really looked strong over the last few months and I think winning the FA Cup semi-final could have an impact on that.

“So I’ve just got a feeling that Liverpool might nick it. I hope not – I’d rather City win it.”

Jamie Carragher recently suggested that the rivalry between Liverpool and Man City is the “greatest rivalry in English football history”, despite only being formed in recent seasons.

He wrote in his Daily Telegraph column: “Liverpool versus Manchester City has become the greatest, most intense and highest quality rivalry in English football history.

“There is a uniqueness to it. This is the first time the two best teams in England are the two best teams in the world, led by the two greatest coaches of their generation.
