Manchester United star Wayne Rooney insists that his main priority was to defeat derby rivals City and not to score his 100th club goal.

The Red Devils striker netted the only goal of the game in Sunday's Manchester derby at Eastlands as United got their Premier League title challenge back on track.

The strike was also Rooney's 100th in club colours, but the former Everton forward is adamant he was not considering of his century.

"I didn't really think about it being my 100th career goal," he said.

"It was more the fact that it was City away. For it to be the winning goal as well really made it something to be pleased about.

"But of course it is a great achievement. I am delighted to reach 100 and, as I have said before, I am looking to score more often."
