Wayne Rooney says Liverpool tie is the ideal way to get over Manchester derby defeat
Wayne Rooney says Manchester Uniteds Capital One Cup tie against Liverpool is the ideal game to bounce back from their heavy derby defeat.
David Moyes side were beaten 4-1 by local rivals Manchester City yesterday, with Rooney netting a late consolation free-kick.
But despite having already lost to Liverpool in the Premier League this season, the striker believes another big grudge match is exactly what he and his team-mates need to return to winning ways.
We have all grown up, whether it is Manchester, Liverpool or somewhere else having local derbies, Rooney said.
It is not nice when you lose one. I have been there as a fan and now as a player. Thankfully we have another massive game against Liverpool.
It is the ideal game for us. Any game against Liverpool, whether it is a friendly, Capital One Cup or Premier League, is massive.
We have to try and get the victory so we can put this defeat to the back of our minds.
Manchester United host Brendan Rodgers side at Old Trafford on Wednesday night.
