Runi: Manchester City defeat meant the celebration had to be cancelled

Former famous footballer Wayne Rooney recalled the 2011 match when Manchester United lost 1-6 at home to Manchester City. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.

He said he was on the field during that game and emphasized that this event was an important turning point for Manchester City. Rooney said he saw the City team getting stronger and closing in on them.

Losing 6-1 at Old Trafford was definitely a statement, he said. He admitted that when consecutive goals were scored against his team in the second half, he wanted to leave the field.

After that defeat, Rooney usually said he would go home, but he recalled that there was a party organized for his birthday that day. Several Manchester City players were also invited to it.

Rooney thought about canceling the party but did not do so. Looking back, he said the party should have been canceled, but his friends and family had already set the time and appointed helpers to take care of the children.

Rooney spoke about this on "The Wayne Rooney Show" podcast. On Sunday, Manchester City and Manchester United will play a match in the English Premier League.
