Manchester United ace Wayne Rooney felt for the fans after losing the title to Manchester City last week.

Rooney says the title surrender was "sickening".

"Of course, you wish it hadn't happened like that for our fans," Rooney told ManUtd.com, when reflecting on the last-day drama. "And for us as players, it was sickening really to lose the title like that.

"Our fans were brilliant all day, even when Man City scored their first goal. We obviously knew on the pitch they had gone 1-0 up and we were also aware when QPR went 2-1 up.

"When the final whistle went, we didn't really know what the score was. But then we heard the Sunderland fans cheering. It was sad to see that because they should be supporting their own team really. They didn't have the best of seasons themselves so for them to be cheering like that was sad. It was something that myself and a lot of the players won't forget."
