Wayne Rooney felt Manchester United 'thoroughly deserved' to progress to the UEFA Champions League final. The Red Devils were impressive in their semi-final second leg at Arsenal on Tuesday night and stormed to a 4-1 aggregate victory. A brace from Cristiano Ronaldo and an opener from Park Ji-sung booked United's place in back-to-back showpieces, and striker Rooney was overjoyed with the display in North London. He told Sky Sports: "Everyone's delighted, it was a great performance from us tonight and I think we thoroughly deserved it. "I think we just wanted to attack at the right times, and thankfully we got the goals. "We knew if we got one goal there would be chances to get one or two more goals, because obviously they would have to try and come forward. "We that when we got the second goal the game was really over." When asked whether he would prefer to meet either Chelsea or Barcelona in the final, Rooney replied: "I think we are capable of beating any of them. We know that they will be difficult games whoever it is."
