Wayne Rooney was accused of being a 'bitter' Manchester United fan after Manchester City beat Chelsea to win the FA Cup final. Antoine Semenyo's second-half backheel secured a 1-0 win and the 20th trophy of the Pep Guardiola City era at Wembley Stadium. Among those celebrating under the arch were Oasis duo Liam and Noel Gallagher. The brothers are famous City fans and have often been spotted at matches.
BBC cameras showed the two celebrating in a private box as pundit Micah Richards said: "I see the City boys there. Is that Liam and Noel? Always at the big finals." The Beeb's host Mark Chapman laughed: "It's a fairly safe bet that it would be!"
Before Richards replied: "You've got better eyesight than me Chappers!" But United's all-time top goalscorer Rooney then weighed in with: "What I will say on Liam and Noel, I've never seen them there when City weren't winning anything."
But former City defender Richards hit back: "What? They were there!" To which Rooney responded: "I didn't see them." Richards then labelled Rooney bitter as he said: "We've got footage of that! You're just being a bitter red right now."
Rooney did however praise United's neighbours for taking their chance against a struggling Chelsea team that pushed them all the way. He added: "It wasn't a great game. I thought Chelsea were good.
"You know with the quality Man City have that sooner or later one of the superstars will open you up. The goal was incredible. Chelsea had some half opportunities and penalty shouts that weren't penalties. You just know with City they can create that one chance."
While Daniel Sturridge, stood alongside Rooney and Richards, reflected: "Chelsea were very disciplined. It takes those moments of brilliance. A little movement from [Erling] Haaland and the delicacy of the flick from Semenyo was instinctive.
"That's what it takes to win titles like this. Again, Bernardo Silva tirelessly working for his team-mates. He has put so much in. Man City keep going from strength to strength. It is a successful season for them in regard to trophies."
