Wayne Rooney believes that Manchester City will not go the season unbeaten because anyone can beat anyone in the Premier League.

Rooney also doubts whether City are the best team in Premier League history because they have not extended this run of form over a whole season.

“I’m not sure they [City] are quite there. They would have to keep going and do a lot more,” he told Talksport.

“There have been so many great teams throughout the years in the Premier League. This City team needs to win trophies and needs to do it for a longer period to be in that bracket.

“The best ever? I would go with the Man United team from 2008!

“I don’t think they can go unbeaten. They have done incredibly well with the run they have been on, but the Premier League is so difficult, especially now with this Christmas period coming up.

“I know they have a huge squad, a great squad of players. But there are so many top teams. I think in previous years it has been two teams and you went in knowing you would win most of the other games.

“But now there are five or six other teams that can all beat each other and I’m sure in one of those games Man City will get beaten.”
