The former Man Utd star still believes QPR should have done better in the game's final moments
Wayne Rooney has questioned Manchester City's famous 2012 Premier League title triumph, saying that goalkeeper Paddy Kenny and Queens Park Rangers "should have done better" while asking why their performance has never been dissected.
City famously won the title on what is almost certainly the most dramatic day in Premier League history, with late goals from Edin Dzeko and Sergio Aguero capping off an incredible triumph for the blue half of Manchester.
On the red side, though, Rooney and Man Utd were forced to watch on as QPR conceded twice in a matter of minutes, with the ex-England international questioning how they could allow that to happen with the title on the line.
What did Rooney say?
"Paddy Kenny should have done better for a couple of the goals," Roone told The Sun. "City get the second goal and QPR kick it straight back to them and that's never been questioned - I find that strange.
"Djibril Cisse celebrating after the game with the City players, but yeah listen it's a historic moment in the Premier League so I'm sure that - if you are not involved as a Manchester United player, that's probably one of the greatest moments in the league."
A historic goal
Manchester City recently celebrated the 10th anniversary of that famous day, with Aguero now forever immortalised outside of the Etihad with a statue of his celebration of that title-winning finish.
Aguero would go on to become the club’s all-time leading scorer across 10 seasons, with the statue honouring him now put in place alongside monuments recognising the achievements of his former team-mates Vincent Kompany and David Silva.

How is that racist? Is Mexican a race? I don’t think you understand the meaning of what I’m saying. Latin American countries have an official language which is English so I don’t expect you to hide your nationality
Latin Americans are an ethnic group, racism involves both race and ethnic group and you're the one discriminating that I'm not Mexican simply because I know English? Just stop replying bud, you started this because my team is rent free in your head while your team dreams they could be as good as mine. You even changed your badge because you're so sad your team is so bad. This isn't even part of the topic when my original post was about Rooney, go back to your cave

Very true Mr Rooney! just like how United won Bayern in 92 minutes to win the champions league. How can Bayern allow that. UEFA has to investigate it.

Long story short it wasn't QPRs trophy to lose what did you want them to do.. And on the issue of celebrating with the city players.. Cmon rooney you can do better we all love it when an underdog gets the better of a favourite team and city back then where the underdogs just like Newcastle today..

Why talk about 2012 in 2022? Is it because his useless Manchester United lost the title and since then has ended below Manchester City?
He won the EPL the season after that. 2013. All he talks is about his prime time at Man United. Have some respect dude.

Stop saying nonsense, so you thought everyone was happy last year you won the champions league That’s the rivalry nobody wants the other to be better than them stop personalism it to united Fans Rooney has said his own mind, that was his thoughts for that season not everyone thinks the same And besides playing conference league isn’t bad it’s all about winning it, you played champions league this season you didn’t win it you are no different from US
dudu calm down, you all are desame and it's in you guys blood. How can a professional footballer like Rooney said, that match was a game plan or fixed match. bro i have the video of last goal if you want to watch it again for you guys to confirm if the goal was fixed or not.
