Wayne Rooney claims United’s game against Liverpool is the biggest of the season
Wayne Rooney has said that Manchester United’s match against Liverpool is considered to be their biggest game of the season not the derby day with Manchester City.
The two Manchester teams play eachother on Sunday at the Etihad, the Premeir League title has been shared between the two clubs over the last two seasons and are considered to be two biggest teams in the league.
Rooney still believes that the clash with Liverpool is still the biggest game on United’s calender.
“They’re all big games. Obviously United and Liverpool has been a massive game over the years,” Rooney said in The Daily Mirror when asked if United versus City is now the biggest rivalry in English football.
“City have had their success recently, but I would probably say that United and Liverpool is still the biggest game.”
Rooney does not think that the match on Sunday will define the league this season.
“The English players are more aware of what it means after the last four or five years,” the 27-year-old said.
“It’s a big game and we’ll be going there hopefully to win. I’ve scored a few goals against City and I’m looking forward to the match.
“It’s a massive game between two title contenders. It’s not going to define the season, but it’s a big game, a local derby.”
