Wayne Rooney has revealed that there is a competitive edge in Manchester United’s training sessions these days.
Manchester United climbed up to the fourth spot in the league table with a 2-1 win over Arsenal on Saturday at the Emirates, their first away victory of the season.
Despite suffering from extensive injuries this term, the Red Devils have clawed their way back in the race for the Champions League spots with some gutsy performances in the last few weeks.
And the Manchester United captain believes that the performances on the pitch are a direct result of their hard work on the training ground.
On being asked who are the most competitive players during training, Rooney told the club’s official site: “Yeah I’d probably say myself and Fletch [Darren Fletcher] really! Rafael is always another one and obviously Daley [Blind] has come in and been really competitive.”
