Wayne Rooney Admits Liverpool Defeat Was His Worst Ever Day in Football

Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney has described yesterday's defeat at home to Liverpool as "one of the worst days ever" in football, after speaking to MUTV after the game. The Red Devils were hoping to turn their disastrous season around with a win at home to their bitter rivals, but it was Liverpool who came away with all three points, following a convincing 3-0 win at Old Trafford yesterday afternoon. To make matters worse, the team from Merseyside are now 14 points ahead of David Moyes's side and have become serious title contenders, which, if they triumph, will equal United's count of 20 league titles. David Moyes's first season at Manchester United has been a complete failure, but yesterday's humiliation will have to go down as the biggest disappointment to date. The Red Devils were completely outplayed by their Premier League rivals and were lucky it only finished 3-0, with Steven Gerrard missing the opportunity for a hat trick of penalties and David de Gea producing a world class save to deny Luis Suarez a brace. Rooney, who recently signed a new long-term contract with United, has not hidden from the embarrassment of yesterday's defeat and described the result as a "nightmare". The England international knows that overcoming Olympiakos in the Champions League this week will be his side's only salvation.
