Boss: It was Kagawa's day

Rooney also earned praise for his efforts and focus can now switch towards the huge Champions League second leg against Real Madrid in midweek. 

"It’ll do him good," stated the manager. "Confidence is part of it for Wayne. He’s missed two or three games recently but he worked hard and he scored a goal which is all we need.

"All in all, we showed good spirit, we were determined and worked really hard in the match. They didn’t think about what was going to happen on Tuesday so they all contributed in that respect."
