Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney has rallied his teammates ahead of Monday's Premier League clash with Manchester City.
The 26-year-old took to his Facebook page this afternoon to admit that he "can't wait" for the crucial encounter to begin.
"Time for the talking to stop and the game to begin, can't wait. United fans believe," said Rooney.
United sit three points clear of City at the top of the Premier League table.
