Wayne Rooney has already scored 21 goals for United and England this season, which is one more than his total goals for last season, and he is just one goal short of equalling last year’s total for us.
Our young forward insists there’s still more to come from though and is targeting better consistency with scoring goals. I’m sure that task will be a lot easier once Ferguson stops playing him on the left!
“There is still a lot more to come from me,” he said. “I would love to score more goals consistently each year. I am still working on that and hopefully I can improve. I am only 23 but I suppose I started off at an early age so I have achieved quite a lot. I understand people expect things of me now. I just have to keep playing as well as I can. That is what I must try and do. If I can help Manchester United or England win trophies it would be great for me.”

Damn right there is.Tomorrow he equals his record from last year and hopefully he gets 25 for United this season.I think that in this last stretch he has to play in the center.
he may not be on “the list”
but he is my player of the year
he is everything cantona was to united
he’s the fight and insperation that every team needs
it would be fantastic if united had 11 ooneys but one really is enough
Two rooneys would suite me will
Sorry for the copy and paste job, I posted this on another RoM article before Scott posted this.
For those who want to read the rest of Rooney’s interview, check our Sky Sports to see what my comment is in reference to.
I’m sure Scott will have a post up about this sooner rather than later, but just want to draw attention to Rooney’s comments to the media today, about how he sees the bigger picture, and is always willing to sacrifice himself for the team.
He mentions how the top players in the world rarely are seen tracking back if they have lost the ball, and that is something that he could never do. Is this a slight dig at Ronaldo??
Maybe some tension in the camp – I heard that a lot of the dressing room are unhappy about his perceived lack of team effort in recent weeks, and maybe this is just a little hint that it’s a bit of a contentious issue in the changing room.
lol good spot
but i doubt it
but u never know..
messi and torres hardly track back
they concentrate on attack and look at them
but rooney has the energy to do both
thats why he is england’s best player
and they rely on him in attack
he can still improve tho and get better
cant wait for that!!
as hes proly united’s best player
well he IS united’s best player
who agrees?
God we have many Kings on the blog!But i agree with KING.Wayne is our best player of the season along with Vida.
im the ultimate king
lol but yeh vidic was brilliant on sunday
back to his best…
hopefully him and rio stay fit
we can win both trophies again
easy!
Hope he will be back for tommorow.. apparently doubtful.
I think he will be ok Hussain.Tev played for 120 minutes so he will be tired.Rooney and Berba will start.Macheda is not in the squad.I would rest Rio though.I just hope that in Carrick’s absence he doesn’t go with Scholes and Giggs in midfield.
Hussain, Rooney is fit & expect him to start.Tevez will not start tomo.just hope Brown makes it to the 1st leg against arsnl.
yehh
anderson will be tired…
but i heard fletcher is back and he may start with scholes
i hope scholes has a good game..
recently he has been giving the ball away
simple passes, which is weird cuz he is a master of passing
we’l see
come on berbatov
berbatov will bag 2 goals and assist another
!!
Dunno about tension in the team, but all the players, especially Rooney looked pretty chuffed to me when Ronaldo scored against Porto, and against Villa.
The squad for tomorrow has already been given out, Costas? And no Macheda? WTF?? What if we need a winner in stopage time??
I saw it at a website earlier today.All of the first teamers are there Drew.Macheda didn’t fit.Hey maybe it was a mistake.We will check tomorrow.
Drew this was on this morning:

Don’t know how much value it holds.On another topic,Scholes reaches 600 tomorrow and Giggs reaches 800 either against Tottenham or Arsenal.Good times.
Agree with costas and King that Rooney has been our best performer this season. Annoying that he has had a few injuries and therefore a few goals short on what he could have had.
Like I’ve mentioned before I really do hate when Fergie puts him on the left but I understand why he does it and so far seems to work for us in the CL. But just imagine his goal and assist record this season if he would have been played in his best position (in my opinion).
He is our future captain, I am certain of that and look forward to it!
Arsen could have at least started with Diaby and Walcott in midfield.From what i see,it’s an Arsenal side looking not to concede.
I might be one of the only united fans but when i look at rooney i still see “Potential!”
I still see a semi rough diamond waiting to be polished!
In my opinion i think rooney is slightly over rated! Beefed up by the press because he is English!
I do like him as a player, and if i had the choice i wouldnt swap him! Although torres would tempt me which will piss someone on this forum thats for sure!
Rooney will become great! At the moment he is good!! I think the type of player rooney is he will be at his best in later years when he gets more experience. like Henry / Bergkamp / Sheringham / Cantona!
Cheers Costas.
And on Wayne, I swear I’ve seen him do it on a few rare occasions, but if he could develop his left foot more and get a better shot with it, he could be even better. Right now I swear he cuts back to his right foot in the box all the time and the majority of his shots and crosses get blocked or take deflections. I guess I’m being picky though, and just looking for fault.
Once Wayne’s baby is born he will further mature and consistent form will hopefully remain. I would look for a less furious more focused Rooney in the coming years.
The gaffer, I despite ur experience n success overa d time in giveng us(united) trophies,I still don’t believe that berba is a manutd player n i think that was a waste n is still a lost.
