Rooney: We must keep pushing Wayne Rooney has urged his Manchester United team-mates to make sure they keep pushing towards a 20th Premier League title.
The Red Devils currently sit 15 points ahead of rivals and reigning champions Manchester City, and now only require seven more to claim the title thanks to a 2-0 win over Stoke on Sunday.
With City in action twice this week against Wigan and Tottenham, the title could be returning to the red half of Manchester as soon as Sunday's clash at White Hart Lane if results go United's way.
"We are in a great position," Rooney said.
"But we have to make sure we move on and push ourselves over that line."

Fabianski in doubt for Everton clash Arsene Wenger admits goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski is a 'major doubt' for Tuesday's Premier League match at home to Everton.
The Arsenal manager revealed on Monday that the Polish international picked up a rib injury in the north London side's 3-1 win over Norwich on Saturday.
If Fabianski is unable to play, Wenger may be forced to reinstate fellow Polish goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny.
He has been recently relegated to the bench in favour of Fabianski after a form slump, something which the Arsenal manager has described as a 'blip'.
Meanwhile, Tomas Rosicky is back in the squad after successfully recovering from a hamstring injury which saw him sit out Arsenal'

And the Scot admits that they are 'underdogs' to reach the top four.
"This is a vital game and games are running out," Moyes said.
"If we have got any chance of making the Champions League, we have got to get something out of it. For the last month we have been thereabouts but we will be the underdogs.

Plan for new Scotland leagues format fails Sweeping plans to restructure the SPL have been vetoed by St Mirren and Ross County, plunging the league into further uncertainty.
Aberdeen chairman Stewart Milne emerged from discussions to announce that St Mirren had not been swayed after confirming earlier in the week they would vote against the deal on the table.
With Ross County's negative vote the 11-1 majority needed was effectively snuffed out the proposals which were agreed in principle in January.
The plans would have seen a new 12-12-18 league model under one body with the SPL and Scottish Football League to merge, as opposed to the old 12-10-10-10 system still in place for next season.

Serie A: Lazio 0:2 Juventus Juventus took another step towards the Serie A title after the reigning champions picked up a vital 2-0 victory away to Lazio on Monday.
Arturo Vidal was the hero for the Bianconeri, netting twice in the first half during a routine win that leaves the Turin outfit 11 points clear at the Italian summit with just six matches left.
After crashing out of the Champions League against Bayern Munich, Juventus were keen to put that disappointment behind them and continue their march to the Scudetto in the Italian capital.
Against a Lazio side still in the hunt for a spot in the continental competition, Antonio Conte's men could not have asked for a better start.
