Wayne Rooney is determined to usher Manchester United to victory in this weekend's Manchester derby.

The Red Devils host neigbours Manchester City at Old Trafford on Sunday and are out to break a four-game losing streak against their crosstown rivals.

Ahead of the crunch clash, Rooney spoke of his desire to get the United faithful smiling again after a wretched recent run against City which has seen them lose six of the past seven derbies.

"You play for Man United, you want to win these derby games," Rooney told MUTV.

"We want to give United fans something to smile about when they go to work on Monday morning, we want them to be the ones to be able to give out the banter to Manchester City fans at work.

"I think it's a very important game for Manchester United and Manchester City... for the fans and, for me, it's a massive game of pride."
