Wayne Rooney has revealed that he is expecting Manchester United to perform consistently well and make a big push to retain the Premier League title.

Rooney was absent for United's dramatic 2-1 win over Norwich City on Sunday but is confident that he can play a key role in the race to catch league leaders Manchester City.

The England striker told FIFA.com: "We're confident that we can push on now, and start being a bit more consistent towards the end of the season.

"Personally, it's been one of my best goalscoring seasons. I've scored 19 so far, and hopefully I can kick on and score a lot more towards the end of the season.

"We are still in a great position in the league, we're only a couple of points behind and a lot of games to go. We're confident that we can push on now."

United will face Tottenham Hotspur in their next league fixture on Sunday.
