Wayne Rooney is hoping to reward the Manchester United fans by ensuring they wrap up the Premier League title both on home soil and against Arsenal.

United need just one point from the Saturday lunchtime meeting with the Gunners at Old Trafford to secure an 18th top-flight league crown.

"One point will win the title for us. Hopefully that can come on Saturday," Rooney told 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.

"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."

The 20-goal striker is hoping to win the league against the Gunners following their own title-clinching victory at Old Trafford seven years ago.

"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," added Rooney.
