Wayne Rooney, speaking on Sky Sports, says his long range lob against West Ham on Saturday was better than David Beckham’s similar effort against Wimbledon in 1996.

Rooney discusses the goal from around 1:17 in the video above.

The 28-year-old doubled his tally later in the first half as Manchester United bounced back from last weekend’s defeat to Liverpool to record a precious 2-0 win.
