Beating City would make title sweeter: Rooney

Striker Wayne Rooney feels it would be especially satisfying if Manchester United can clinch the Barclays Premier League title this season with Manchester City having been their closest challengers.

United, who are hunting a 13th Premier League crown, knocked City off top spot for the first time since October last weekend when they defeated West Brom 2-0 while Roberto Mancini’s men were beaten 1-0 at Swansea.
