Wayne Rooney: 'It was a very important victory'

Manchester United captain Wayne Rooney hails his side's 2-1 victory over Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium as a potential turning point in their Premier League campaign.

Manchester United captain Wayne Rooney feels that his side's victory over Arsenal can kickstart their season under Louis van Gaal.

An own goal from Kieran Gibbs and a strike from Rooney himself earned the Red Devils their first away win of the season and moved them into the top four of the Premier League.

Rooney told Sky Sports News: "It's a very important victory. We weathered the storm at times, especially first half. Our goalkeeper [David de Gea] was fantastic and we hit them with two good goals.

"It was a different game. They had possession and we hit them on the break - that was our gameplan. I think it's a massive result for us. Two very young players, Paddy McNair and Tyler Blackett, in such a big game - they've coped well.

"This will give us a lot of confidence, a lot of belief and it's come at the right time for us. We want to try and build a bit of momentum going into the New Year so today was a massive result in terms of starting that."

Rooney notched his fourth goal of the season for United in their win at the Emirates Stadium.
