Wayne Rooney: Manchester United "deserved to win"

Wayne Rooney urges his Manchester United teammates to "move on and focus" following this afternoon's 1-0 home defeat at the hands of Southampton.

Manchester United forward Wayne Rooney has insisted that his side "deserved to win" this evening's match against Southampton.

The hosts failed to register a single shot on goal as they succumbed to their first league defeat against the Saints in 27 years, being edged out 1-0 at Old Trafford.

Dusan Tadic's strike 20 minutes from time secured a memorable victory for Southampton, who leapfrogged their opponents into third place in the Premier League table as a result.

Speaking after the game, Rooney told Sky Sports News: "That is football, that is how it goes. I think overall we had the better chances and played the better football and deserved to win but we were punished.

"I have seen Southampton play better, we stopped a lot of their threats but we got punished. We have to move on and focus on the next game."

United have a chance to bounce back when they take on lowly Queens Park Rangers next weekend.
