Nice To Beat Liverpool

Rooney was United's best performer on the day as they dismissed ten men Liverpool, and the former Everton man was pleased to put another one over the Reds.

"It's always nice to beat Liverpool and it's opened up a bit of a gap now at the top of the league," Rooney told Sky Sports.

"We know it's in our hands now - we have to try and win as many games as possible and stay top of the league.

"We've got a good mix in the dressing room and we know what we have to do between now and the end of the season." aveir

Always On Top

Javier Mascherano's sending off was a key moment in the game, but Rooney insisted that the Red Devils were always the better team.

"We were always on top," he said. "The Liverpool players were tired at the end, but overall I don't think it would have made any difference.

He himself missed a number of chances, extending his goalless streak to six games, but seemed unconcerned.

"I'm delighted with the win. I know the goals will come," he responded. "I'm not too concerned with that."
