Manchester United were forced to scale down comments made by
Wayne Rooney about 'hating' Liverpool ahead of tomorrow's big
match.
The Times says the comments were posted on United’s
official website yesterday lunchtime as part of an article entitled
“Rooney out to finish off Liverpool”, but they were deleted within
two hours of it being pointed out to club staff. The England
forward’s original quote was replaced with: “I’m also very excited
about the game because I grew up as an Everton fan.”
Rooney made the remark to MUTV, United’s in-house television
station, after the 2-0 victory over Inter Milan in the second leg
of their Champions League first knockout round tie at Old Trafford
on Wednesday evening.
