Rooney admits some frustration missing Man Utd hat-trick

Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney admits he was unhappy being substituted last night in the win over West Ham United.

The England striker scored two goals to take his tally for the campaign to 23 in the league and 27 in total.

He was substituted 12 minutes from time but could not complain despite missing the chance to complete a hat-trick.

"I am just enjoying playing and scoring goals," he told Sky Sports. "Hopefully it continues but I have never really set targets."

Asked if had been frustrating to get taken off, Rooney replied: "A little bit but you can understand the manager's thinking and I've no problems with that tonight."
