Don't back Arsenal for Premier League title yet Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney believes Sunday's opponents Arsenal should be assessed in March before being termed genuine title contenders. The Gunners are five points clear at the top of the Premier League after 10 games and eight points ahead of United. "We've seen before that they've been in the top two until February or March and then faded away," Rooney said. "They are doing brilliantly at the minute, so it's down to them to try and stay there and us to catch them."
