Wayne Rooney has insisted that Manchester United can still win the Premier League title this season.
Louis van Gaal's side thumped Liverpool 3-0 at Old Trafford on Sunday for their sixth straight win to stay eight points adrift of leaders Chelsea.
Rooney has helped the Red Devils to five league titles in his 10-year spell at the club, and the 29-year-old feels that experience can help them bridge the gap at the top.
"I think we have to believe we can win the title," he told talkSPORT. "We are eight points behind and coming into a busy period.
"If we can win our games and the others have one bad result then there is nothing there. We have to keep winning our games and hopefully get back to the top and you never know.
"We have been here before but we have a lot of new players and this is where the experience of myself, Michael Carrick and Darren Fletcher can rub off on the other players."
United, who won five points from their first five games, travel to Aston Villa on Saturday.
