„Manchester United“ striker Wayne Rooney revealed that during Sunday's derby against “Man City“, his team tried to exploit the opponents' weakness in defense, as they do not like to retreat to their own half and help the defenders.
„The Red Devils“ defeated Manuel Pellegrini's team 4-2, and the “cityzens“ were heavily criticized for poor work ethics.
„We knew that some “City“ players do not like to come back to defense, so we thought we could punish them for that“, Rooney said.
„We have players in our team capable of scoring goals and we thought that would help us win the game. That's exactly what happened.“
The English national team striker also praised his teammate Marouane Fellaini for his outstanding performance.
