Man Utd Legend Tips Gunners to “Run Away” With the Trophy 
Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney has backed Arsenal to retain the Premier League title, saying Mikel Arteta’s side have the potential to pull away from their rivals this season.
Rooney believes Arsenal are the clear favourites after ending their 22-year wait for the league title last season and strengthening their squad during the summer.
The former England striker also pointed to uncertainty among Arsenal’s main rivals. Manchester City are entering a new era without Pep Guardiola, while Liverpool, Chelsea and Tottenham are also undergoing changes.
“Arsenal have the potential to run away with it,” Rooney said.
Rooney Gives Man Utd Top-Four Prediction
While backing Arsenal for the title, Rooney believes Manchester United should target a top-four finish under manager Michael Carrick.
He said United must remain competitive and stay close to Arsenal as the club continues rebuilding.
Arsenal have already made an early statement by beating Manchester City 3-0 in the Community Shield, adding to expectations around their title defence.
For Arsenal fans, Rooney’s prediction adds to the growing belief that the Gunners could be entering a period of sustained dominance in English football.
