Rooney out to silence Gunners
Wayne Rooney is determined to help Manchester United seal the Premier League title against Arsenal this Saturday.
The Red Devils know a point from the Old Trafford contest would be enough to hand them a third consecutive top flight crown after Sir Alex Ferguson's men moved to the brink with a 2-1 win at Wigan on Wednesday.
Nothing would give United greater pleasure that landing the trophy on home soil, while they will also be keen to secure success against one of their major rivals.
Arsenal fans have never let their United counterparts forget that they secured the title at the Theatre of Dreams in 2002, with a Sylvain Wiltord effort handing them a memorable 1-0 win.
That has helped to add an extra dimension to the latest meeting between the old adversaries, with Rooney helping to stoke the fire ahead of what promises to be an enthralling encounter.
Special"One point will win the title for us. Hopefully that can come on Saturday," he said in the Evening Standard.
"It would be brilliant to do it in front of our own fans and brilliant to win it against Arsenal, who are a great footballing team.
"When they come to Old Trafford you always hear them singing about winning the title at Old Trafford, so it would be nice to win against them. That would be special."
He added: "We want to win it in front of our own fans, I think the manager's said we've only done that once in 17 years. And to win it three years on the run would be amazing."
