Roma Deserved More, Admits Rooney Match-winner Wayne Rooney praised Roma's display at Old Trafford, and admitted that the Giallorossi shhave taken something more from it.

They played really well and personally i think they have improved alot and really played like a winner.

Wayne Rooney admitted as much after the game. "I think Roma played really well tonight," he said. "We knew it was going to be more difficult than last season.

"They played well and honestly the fair result was probably a draw, but we held on to the win."

About his superb goal, for which he turned and shot in one swift move, he said: "I think I just had to take it as early as I could. You could see the defender coming across, so I had to see past him and the goalkeeper to the far post.

"I played against Roma three times now and scored three goals, so obviously I’m pleased with that.

"We played OK tonight as a team, but Roma did very well and as I said the fair result tonight would have been a draw, as they had a lot of good chances."
