The former Everton player and Manchester United legend was on ground to see his former side take on Crystal Palace in the EPL. Indeed, Manchester United ran riot in scoring five goals, a feat that hasn’t been achieved since Alex Ferguson left the club five years ago. Marcus Rashford, Jesse Lingard, Anthony Martial and Ander Herrera were on the score sheet and fans would be reeling again at the new attacking look of the side.
There had been tension and the lack of confidence when Jose Mourinho was still in charge but a lot has changed in such a short time with the appointment of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. The players are playing without much pressure and things are looking good again.
Rooney was with BT sport on that day and was happy to see United play so well. One thing Rooney obviously doesn’t like is Liverpool leading the table. Liverpool are the red devil’s eternal rivals in the Premier league and there’s no love lost with Wayne Rooney. He iterated that only twice have a team been leading the park in Christmas and didn’t go on to win the league. Those two occasions have been Liverpool and again, they are the leaders.
Wayne Rooney revealed that he thinks the race is between Liverpool and Manchester City but wants the later to win it.
