The signings of Bruno Fernandes and Edinson Cavani could prove crucial for Manchester United this season as they both have the kind of winner's mentality a club needs to sustain a title challenge, former skipper Wayne Rooney said.

Pogba scored the winner in United's 2-1 win over Fulham Wednesday after Cavani had equalized, a victory that took them to the top of the table.
