Young delighted for Man Utd skipper Rooney: Fantastic week for him

Manchester United winger Ashley Young was delighted for Wayne Rooney after victory at Arsenal.

Rooney's goal capped a great eight-day period for the United captain, after earning his 100th England cap and scoring three times on international duty.

"It's been a fantastic week for Wayne," Young told MUTV. "I don't think he could have asked for a better week. It's always nice to see him going through on goal as you always fancy him to score and thankfully he did that. He was fantastic for the team but so were all the 11 players and the subs too.

"It was nerve-wracking towards the end and we were hoping to get the third goal. When you see Angel go through and miss, then Arsenal get one back, you start questioning the fourth official [for his timekeeping]! Thankfully we were resilient and made sure we won."
