Sir Alex Ferguson has claimed that Wayne Rooney will be played in a central role against Wolfsburg tonight, although hopefully, it isn’t as a lone striker. That formation did not work against Besiktas or Arsenal so the manager needs to change things around.
“He’s been playing more central and he’ll play centrally against Wolfsburg. But he’s a funny animal, he says he’s a good centre half. I wouldn’t bet against that,” Ferguson said. “He’s got great desire and he can’t put that down. It’s always there. There are some great footballers out there like Kaka, Ronaldo and Messi. They’re the three best players in the world and Wayne could easily get to that level with the right progress.”
After winning the title for the first time last season, Wolfsburg are currently sixth in their league, five points off leaders Hamburg. Ferguson has bigged up the chances of a German side, like Wolfsburg, winning the Champions League this season.
“Germany’s a great football nation,” he added. “It says a lot for Wolfsburg’s position and progress that they did win the league last year and they did it in a very positive way with the goalscoring form they showed. They beat Bayern Munich 5-1 with only four or five games remaining and they won their final game 4-0 – that’s emphatic. Countries like Germany are always producing clubs capable of winning the Champions League. Yes, the last few years it has been dominated by the English teams in the semi finals and finals but there is always the possibility that someone else can come in to win the Champions League. If you take the final between Porto and Monaco just a few years ago, it’s a case in point.”
This article just amazingly describes the wonder that is Rooney:

Aaah nostalgia.
@fUnKy AlLiGuNkY mate can you describe how did you get to that page from the homepage? because the link you gave stuck at the landing page..
@ cantona7
sorry mate, I went to the ”Today at Old Trafford” feature.
Love the way you guys are finding it difficult to pick our first eleven. It shows the excellent depth of our squad, and also why Sir Alex is Sir. Missed rooney long range shots. United 4:1 w’burg
oh fUnKy AlLiGuNkY thanks mate, that link actually works. you just have to copy two lines, not just until pageid=
GHTT, that’s marvellous for you.
off topic : the FSW is over obsessed with SteveMe and Tranny performing in each and every match. seen him from the start of the season making such comments about the pair and has again said the same after yesterday’s loss.
it’s just ridiculous for a manager to single out 2 of your best players after every draw or loss. but who cares, lol
I wish i could the game so sad that i wont.But thanks to on KENYAN REDVILL i will be in touch with you all THANK YOU VERY MUCH MATE!!

I keep reading all of this about start the twins for the rest of the season, play de laet at rb. Are you guys serious? I am as down for a good discussion as the next guy but have you seen what Patrice has done this year? I mean damn! IMHO he is by far the best rb in the game now hands down. He seems faster, smarter and moore at home than last year. Who is playing better? Now not in the future. I love the twins potential (there current talents are nothing to sneeze at) and Richie seems to have a shitload of game but please don’t get into a grass is greener thing with Evra, enjoy him playing like this while it lasts.
