Rooney confident of cup final berth
Having come off the bench against Burton Albion in the FA Cup last weekend, Wayne Rooney was back in the starting line-up on Wednesday night as United were held by a battling Blackburn Rovers in the first-leg of the Carling Cup Semi-final.
But despite only coming away with a draw, the 20 year-old starlet remained upbeat about United's chances of overcoming Mark Hughes's side in the second-leg at Old Trafford.
Wayne told Sky Sports: "Blackburn battled tonight and it was a tough game, but I still think we got a good result.
"They've had a good season so far, so it will be a hard game. But hopefully we can get through to the final".
After going ahead through a smart finish from Louis Saha in the 29th minute, United's advantage was quickly cancelled out when Morten Gamst Pedersen unleashed an unstoppable shot past Edwin van der Sar.
"Blackburn scored not long afer we did and I think that knocked a bit out of us", said Rooney.
"I think we should have held onto the one-nil lead, but we were solid defensively and after they scored the first, they never looked like scoring again".
Despite winning man of the match however, the boy wonder was typically modest when describing his own performance.
"I think I could have done a lot better. Some of my play was good, some wasn't. I just keep on learning".
