So the scene was set for something special and something special it was, Wayne Rooney's wonder strike won Manchester United the game 2-1.
In my opinion this is the rebirth of Wayne Rooney I mean if this doesn't spur him on to recapture the form that we all know he can produce then nothing will. A scissor/overhead kick in the Manchester derby is the stuff of what dreams are made of, Rooney's celebration summed it all up as he soaked in the electric atmosphere of Old Trafford after scoring one of the best goals the Theatre of Dreams has ever seen. He was a man relieved to finally score and for it to be a goal of such magnitude is so important for him and for Manchester United.
The importance of that goal can't be described following the defeat to Wolves last week Manchester United have once again shown their bounce back ability and the spirit that surely will see us become Champions come May. Its kept United above of the pack with Arsenal being the nearest who are 4 points behind and a gap needs to be maintained/improved as there are many key fixtures coming up over the next few months as we reach the business end of the season.
The result has kept City out of the title race and hopefully they'll fail to get Champions League football again, that would be priceless especially if United go on to win a record 19th League Title.... What a season that would be! Glory Glory Man United!!! "When I scored I could see the joy in the crowd, the players, the manager and the staff. It was a fantastic moment." Wayne Rooney.
