They have made some really good signings. The main threat is going to be from Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester City. One of them, plus us, will be fighting for the title.” Rooney will be aiming to collect a fifth Premier League winners’ medal this season with United, but he wants to kick-off the season with a victory over FA Cup winners Manchester City in the Community Shield. “When you <a href="http://www.4mykey.com/products_all.html"><strong>moncler london </strong></a> play at a club like Manchester United, the goal is to win all the competitions, It is true our priority is to keep our Premier League title, but we won’t ignore any competition. We want to win everything, starting with the Community Shield. There is nothing better than a derby to start the season.” United’s summer signings will have made them stronger than last season. United have bought goalkeeper David De Gea, Phil Jones from Blackburn and Ashley Young from Aston Villa. “There have been a lot of changes this summer and when you look around the dressing room now, suddenly it’s a lot younger place. “The manager is bringing in players who have not won a league title before and they all have that hunger and desire to want to win trophies.” Wayne Rooney scored 16 goals in all competitions last season which is his lowest tally since 2003/04. He added: “I don’t <a href="http://www.4mykey.com/specials.html"><strong>moncler shop </strong></a> set targets for myself but it would be nice if I can get through the season injury free. We have trained very hard this week and we are looking forward to all the games.” United continue their pre season tour in America against Chicago Fire on Saturday, before they face an MLS All-Stars team that will include David Beckham and Thierry Henry.
