Rooney: "It wasn't pleasant, the bus is destroyed"

United captain Wayne Rooney, described the team's arrival at Upton Park: “It wasn't pleasant. the bis is destroyed, but now we're here, and ready to play.

"I'm sure that the images will show what happened. It's not for me to judge, but it's upsetting. We know that this is an important game for West Ham, a big night, because it's the last game at their ground, but I am sure that the club will be disgusted with what their fans have done”, he said.
