Everton star Wayne Rooney says the current Manchester City aren't the best team to have graced the Premier League, despite setting a new record of sixteen consecutive wins in the league. The Pep Guardiola's side have taken the English top flight by storm this season, and have taken an incredible 51 points out of 53 available. On Saturday, they defeated Tottenham 4-1 to go 14 points clear.
Speaking on whether the Guardiola side the is best team ever, Rooney said no. In an interview with TalkSport Rooney named the Manchester United team of 2008 as the all time best side.
"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."
