GettyWHAT ROONEY SAID
In a recent appearance on BBC Match of the Day to analyse Manchester United's late win against Nottingham Forest in the fifth round of the FA Cup, Rooney humorously weighed in on the debate about which goal was better.
"I have always said, it is actually harder to score with your shin!" he laughed. "I honestly don't know [whether it struck my shin or my foot]. I think Garnacho's was better. I think Garnacho's goal was a better goal, but I think doing it against Manchester City was a better game."
GettyWHAT NEXT?
It would be something special if Garnacho could replicate his heroics against City on Sunday at the Etihad. He has already scored seven goals this campaign across all competitions and would be eager to add to his tally when they take on their eternal rivals over the weekend.
