Manchester United legend, Wayne Rooney has come out to say that he shouldn’t have played in the UCL semifinal game vs Arsenal in 2009. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, he was actually suffering with an illness ahead of the all-Premier League UCL clash vs Arsenal, but that couldn’t stop him from putting on his jersey and coming through for his team.

Rooney added that there was a celebration party after the match, but he didn’t attend because he went straight to bed.
“I shouldn’t have played this game, I wasn’t well at all. The doctor gave me a load of medication to get me through the game. We had a bit of a party after this game but I didn’t go, I went straight to bed.
We knew how to play against Arsenal for many years. We’d change our game, we’d play a lot more defensive. We’d play a low block, and like that goal there, we’d try to hit them on the break. To win any major competition, to win the Champions League especially, you have to adapt certain games and certain opposition.”
WOW.
Manchester United Football Club, commonly referred to as Man United or simply United, is a professional football club based in Old Trafford, Greater Manchester, England. The club competes in the Premier League, the top division in the English football league system.
Nicknamed the Red Devils, they were founded as Newton Heath LYR Football Club in 1878, but changed their name to Manchester United in 1902. After a spell playing in Clayton, Manchester, the club moved to their current stadium, Old Trafford, in 1910.
Alex Ferguson and his assistant Archie Knox arrived from Aberdeen on the day of Atkinson’s dismissal, and guided the club to an 11th-place finish in the league. Despite a second-place finish in 1987–88, the club was back in 11th place the following season. Reportedly on the verge of being dismissed, Ferguson’s job was saved by victory over Crystal Palace in the 1990 FA Cup final.
The following season, Manchester United claimed their first UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup title. That triumph allowed the club to compete in the European Super Cup for the first time, where United beat European Cup holders Red Star Belgrade 1–0 at Old Trafford. The club appeared in two consecutive League Cup finals in 1991 and 1992 the left and the right, but he’s not got any sense of danger yet, and empties the midfield area too readily.
