Wayne Rooney: ‘United are the best team’

Wayne Rooney says Manchester United’s 3-2 victory against Manchester City in the Community Shield has proved who the better team is.

United came from 2-0 down at half-time to win the match deep into injury time when winger Nani rounded Joe Hart to slot the ball home.

"This shows who the best team is - all game we dominated," Rooney told BBC Radio 5 Live after the win.

"The young lads made the difference - Danny Welbeck, Tom Cleverley, Phil Jones, Chris Smalling - they were all outstanding."

"I think this was a footballing lesson," he added later on Twitter.

United begin the defence of their Premier League title on Sunday away at West Bromwich Albion.
