STRIKER Manchester United, Wayne Rooney memuji kemenangan dramatis timnya skor 3-2 saat laga derby melawan Manchester City, dengan berujar "kami menunggu lama untuk mewujudkan ini."
Setelah kalah di kandang dan tandang di liga dengan lawan mereka musim lalu, dua pemain Inggris membuat Red Devils unggul sebelum Robin van Persie menundukkan City melalui tendangan bebas saat perpanjangan waktu.

"Tentu saja, itu bagus mencetak gol di sini tapi tidak peduli apakah itu melawan City atau bukan," tegasnya. "Saya mencetak gol untuk Manchester United dan menikmatinya."
"Jelas ini hari bersejarah bagi kami menang di City. Mereka mencetak rekor laga kandang yang hebat dan kami berhasil mengacaukannya rasanya tak terbayangkan."
"[Pertandingan itu] gila," tambah Rooney. "Ini sudah seperti pertandingan sepanjang musim bagi kami."
