Wayne Rooney on his penalty miss.

"What happened is why I probably don't take the penalties every week," he said. "I take them in training and normally just smash them in so I don't know what happened there."

Six goals in five games isn't too bad.

"Obviously it has been a disappointing week for England, but Manchester United performed well at Villa and I've been scoring lately and hopefully I can continue that," he said.

"We knew the other results before we played and we knew we had to get the three points. We didn't have the best of starts. Their two forwards harassed our defence and did really well.

"But we got going and Carlos (Tevez) is a great player. I can play as the one going in behind or looking for the ball in behind and Carlos can do the same so we can switch quite easily."
