We were better than Man City even with 10 Men,says Rooney

Thegoalmac can reveal that Wayne Rooney has insisted Manchester United were the better team with 10 men despite Manchester City triumphing in Sunday's derby.

Do you agree with Wayne? Spoke to some people yesterday after the match and most of them said Man Utd were the better yesterday. Continue for what Rooney said.
"We responded well and defended well [after conceding]," Rooney told MUTV. "I felt for long periods of the game we were the better team. We took control of the game with 10 men and created the better chances.

"We were unfortunate not to get anything out of the match and we're disappointed to leave with no points after a great effort.

"Chris is disappointed. It's tough when you get sent off, especially in a derby and with such a long time to go in the game it made it difficult for the rest of us to hold on. I'm sure Chris will learn from that."

The result leaves United 13 points behind league-leaders Chelsea with 10 games played, but Rooney is confident Louis van Gaal's measures are starting to take effect.

Rooney continued: "We're working on different things, which a lot of us haven't been used to. We're certainly heading in the right direction.

"We're progressing each week and playing some nice football. We need to turn that into results and I'm sure we can do that if we keep working, keep learning and keep doing what the manager wants from us."
