Wayne Rooney says Manchester United's title pursuit is made extra special because the team challenging are such close rivals.
Manchester City sit second by two points behind the reigning champions, who take on Blackburn Rovers tonight, and Red Devils ace Rooney says chasing another title has more significance this season because of the nature of the battle.
"It's the first time since I've been here and the first time for many years that United and City have been going head-to-head for the title.
"To win it would be great for the players, the fans and the club as a whole, and it would definitely be one of the best titles we've ever won, if we can do it.""Would it mean something extra because City are challenging? Yes, of course," Rooney said.
