Manchester United captain Wayne Rooney believes they're two signings away from being title challengers.

Rooney believes that while the Red Devils are close to challenging Chelsea for the title, they need to bring in some more players during the summer to have a chance.

"I believe we are [close]," Rooney told Sky Sports.

"You take the first 10, 11 games and I think we had 13 points.

"When you consider from after that amount of games to where we've finished, we've probably got as many points after that as anyone else.

"I think we're close, there's no doubt about it. You can see in our performances, we're outplaying teams, dominating possession, and it's just that final thing of taking our chances.

"In the Chelsea game, if I had scored that with my left foot then it could have been a completely different game and might have put them under a bit of pressure - it might have been a lot closer than it's finished.

"As a group of players, myself and the manager - we all believe we're close and I'm sure with a player or two in the summer we'll have a good chance of going for the title."
