Manchester United captain Wayne Rooney has admitted that his side underperformed during their 2-1 defeat at the hands of Tottenham Hotspur this afternoon.
Spurs marked their final appearance at White Hart Lane by securing a second-placed finish in the Premier League as goals from Victor Wanyama and Harry Kane provided a fitting finale to their home of 118 years.
Rooney, who pulled one back for the visitors, played down the significance of the occasion from his side's point of view but acknowledged that they were not good enough on the day.
"To be honest it's another game against Tottenham. It was special for their players and fans but for us it was another game at White Hart Lane," he told reporters.
"We wanted to win the game, we went out and tried to win the game. Tottenham played well but we could have done better.
"White Hart Lane always was one of my favourite grounds to play at. I have good memories here."
United's defeat means that they can no longer finish in the top four of the Premier League this season.
