Wayne Rooney has made a statement on Sunday’s Manchester derby saying that it is not the biggest game of the season for his team Manchester United and the clashes with Liverpool mean much more to the Old Trafford club. Rooney has told the Mirror that City aren’t United biggest rivals.
“They’re all big games. Obviously United and Liverpool has been a massive game over the years.City have had their success recently, but I would probably say that United and Liverpool is still the biggest game.It’s a massive game between two title contenders,” said Rooney. “It’s not going to define the season, but it’s a big game, a local derby."
“The English players are more aware of what it means after the last four or five years. It’s a big game and we’ll be going there hopefully to win. I’ve scored a few goals against City and I’m looking forward to the match.”
The 27-year-old scored twice in the corresponding fixture last season and has netted five times in the last games against City. He has recently scored his 200th goal for the club against Bayer Leverkusen on Tuesday as well.
