Man Utd ace Rooney: Chelsea record not good enough

Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney is desperate to end their poor record at Chelsea.

While Rooney insists he will keep his focus on the ­bigger picture, he admits there will never be a better time to start putting the record straight.

"We've got a terrible record at Stamford Bridge - in fact, I've never won there in my entire career," said the England striker.

"It's not been a good place for me, with United and Everton - I even broke my metatarsal there in 2006 and nearly missed the World Cup.

"You get these strange records in football and there's no way to explain them.

"I certainly don't know why we've found it so hard at Chelsea because our away record is very good overall.

"But we can't let it play on our minds. If anything, it will make us even more determined to go there and win.

"It's a massive game and Chelsea need to win it more than we do. Hopefully, the pressure will tell on them."
