Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney has admitted that the 3-0 home defeat to Liverpool was one of his worst days as a professional footballer.
Speaking after Liverpool romped to victory at Old Trafford, Rooney said “It’s one of the worst days I’ve ever had in football.
“It’s hard to take. You have to give Liverpool credit – they played well – but it’s difficult to take. “Nobody wants to lose, especially in this way, in your own stadium. It’s not nice.”
As for the match itself, he added: “To go behind by one penalty was hard to take.
“We had a game plan for the second half, which went out the window when they got the second penalty so early on.
“It made it an uphill battle to come back. I thought after that we had a couple of chances where I thought, if we got one, we could have gone for a second and maybe we could have done it.
The defeat heaps yet more pressure on manager David Moyes and another poor home result in midweek against Olympiakos in the UEFA Champions League could spell the end for the under fire Scot.

“I haven’t seen the penalties back again but from where I was standing on the pitch I don’t think we can argue with them.”
