Wayne Rooney has questioned why Manchester City's Premier League title-winning triumph over QPR has never been properly dissected, with the Man United legend labelling it as 'strange'.
City famously won their first ever Premier League title under the most dramatic of circumstances, with Roberto Mancini's men scoring twice in stoppage time to record an incredible 3-2 comeback win and pip local rivals Man United to top spot on goal difference.
The game is remembered for Sergio Aguero's last-gasp winner, with the Argentine smashing the ball past Paddy Kenny in QPR's net to send the Etihad crowd into raptures.
But while the game – and Aguero's goal – is celebrated as one of the best in the Premier League's history, Rooney questioned the performances of the QPR players in the build up to City's winner.
'Paddy Kenny should have done better for a couple of the goals,' Rooney 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.'
Rooney and a host of other Premier League legends – including Ian Wright and Vincent Kompany – were asked about Aguero's goal as City celebrated its 10th anniversary, with it being labelled as 'remarkable' and 'one of the greatest goals in Premier League history'.
City unveiled a statue of Aguero's celebration outside the Etihad last week, with the Argentine humbled by the gesture.
'Truthfully, it is a very beautiful thing for me, to see myself 10 years ago is very moving,' said Aguero.
'In those 10 years I was able to win a lot of trophies and was able to help the club become one of the most important in the world.
'I am very grateful to the club for making this statue in recognition of my football career in Manchester. It is something very special.'

Yet Manchester is still Red and always will be unfortunately maybe if they buy a champions league they have a chance, cause they'll never win a champions league even with Haaland 😂

Did I say you win a trophy for finishing 2nd? Nope think someone can't read, just saying it's embarrassing for any team atm to finish below united especially when we have Maguire and it won't take 4 years wait and see for yourself we'll win Europa league, can play for top 4, try for the FA Cup just cause its not champions league doesn't mean anything when Liverpool where in the Europa league they couldn't even win it and the last 2 times united where in it we got to the final both times with a bad team the 2 times and won once and lost in penos which is all down to luck the second time 😂 so I don't think we will go without a trophy you just rather see the biggest club in the world fail which atm is but we be back as Liverpool fans said for 30 years "it's a year" 😂

Funny you say that but yet we done better than Klopp, touchel last season 😂 with an unexperienced manager so say them two should be the ones embarrassed imaging finishing below Maguire in the prem 😂 Liverpool had no defence that season and look how much there form dropped you need a good defence to win the prem. Peps first season wasn't good and it took Klopp 4 years to get Liverpool to where they are now, so I'm not embarrassing myself ten hag will bring silverware wait and see and I only say this cause Woodward is gone so transfers that the manager want we be able to get now unlike when Woodward was there he got players he wanted it felt.

6 seasons big deal 😂 I've been spoilt with success mate I've seen my team win every cup possible to win live and HD, no YouTube videos, no black and white days in colour 😂 so go cry just cause we have a history to talk about, nd trust me winning nothing with an consultant as manager or a Norwegian with no experience doesn't bother me cause obviously you can't win much with a consultant or unexperienced manager and if so name one manager with no experience or an consultant that won a prem and champions league? Oh wait thats right you can't name one 😂 last time we had an actual manager with experience such as Mourinho what happened? We won 3 cups big difference now that we are getting an actual manager ten hag we will win something wait and see, he has no Woodward holding him back so we can actually make the right signings city don't have a Woodward controlling who they sign 😂 he's the same guy the picked Maguire over Koulibaly and Lidaflop over Van Dijk 😂.

Keep crying about who is a bigger club. Every season you will go Trophyless.. Talking about Mourinho he last won a trophy in 2017 that was almost 6years ago. Which big team goes to A competition go Almost 6 seasons without A single trophy to show. Grow up and wake up cause you re obviously living in the Past

For the first time in his Career, he won’t be playing Champions league football or even Europa League🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Oga rest...Goal difference or not.. The qst is who won the league?.. if Man u was better, they should have won it.. And it happened years ago, so why saying such things now that they are only trying to honour their Legend.. That's just plain childish behaviour. Cheers
Yea they won the league fair play I'm a united fan and it didn't bother me that much since we had a good season won the league year after year before that we are spoilt with success so wasn't to bad to accept tbh it be different if we never won the league before or if city won the Premier league before us it be harder to accept tbh

Rooney question ⁉️ the way man united was giving penalty for doing nothing to there players.u have many things to question in sir Alex ferguson time in man united. dominating the epl for 20years and achieving little in europe, don't that explains something to you.if they're to check about March fixing in the epl during Ferguson, man united will find guilty.this is reason man united is suffering now
