Rooney feeling 'great' after brace in derby win over City

Wayne Rooney says Manchester United's 3-2 win at arch-rivals City has left him feeling "great".

The England forward believes United's "desire and passion" enabled them to emerge victorious from a closely-contested battle at the Etihad Stadium, despite City being "the better side" in the second half.

Rooney scored two goals in the first half before City fought back to level the game with five minutes left, only for strike partner Robin van Persie to score a last-minute winner via a deflected free-kick.
