RoM ran yet another competition in the past week giving you the opportunity to win some goodies from the Audi Cup. Congratulations to Scott Bennett from Canada who was one of hundreds who correctly named Wayne Rooney as the Man of the Match in United’s 2-1 win over Boca Juniors.

Scott Bennet you lucky bar steward.
Well done pal
Darn it!
the lucky fella.
wayne rooney man of the match.which match were the people who made this decision watching
even wazza admitted it was one of his worst performances ever for the club
Berbatov has by FAR been our best player preseason
Wish he’d do the same for my Football Manager team though, he’s close to being dropped!! haha
micky
wtf
on leave till 17th.thats one heck of a holiday.enjoy mate.
VALENCIA played the best…
@AIG
Haha, but on the 17th Aug I’m back to doing 5am – midnight days!
@Sadique
No offence, but you’re off your tits
Valencia did nowt except one run that was lucky enough to squirm in, and one or two decent runs.
People are just jumping on the bandwagon before he’s even had a chance to show what he can do.
micky
you have to agree with sadique,valencia played the best in that match.wasnt afraid to take the defenders on and the whole team was poor in the 2nd half.
of course,this was just a friendly but the signs are promising.we have a good winger who is not afraid to take on defenders and has great pace a nd a ferocious shot.
as for berba,high time he starts proving himself.i m sure he will
@AIG
Maybe I’m too hard to please because I was the same with Tevez and Berba, but I’m never impressed with a few good runs in one game. He needs to do it week in and week out.
I didn’t think he was the best player at all, he looked sharp at times admittedly, but never THAT great.
@micky
he was playing after a long time so some amount of rustiness is bound to be there and has played just one game and sme time against bayern so we will have to give him time
he will be first choice on the wings along wid nani.nani is looking good and has shown some improvement.
Wayne Rooney is the best player in the world in my opinion
ghtt
good morning mate.
i wud disagree wid u there.he has bags of potential but frustrates me sometimes to see a player who can score wonder goals missing one on ones and sitters.
he has to score consistently rather than scoring 6 in 6 games and then disappearing for next few games.also he does not score enough in big games.
Hahaha I’m such a gimp! I said Michael Rensing ^_^
Well done Scott Bennett!
Off topic: Yahoo have a poll up on who is United’s greatest ever player – Ronaldo is currently winning
What’s even more surprising is that Giggs is the only player from the 99 squad even nominated! No Keane, no Schmeichel, no Scholes!
no Schmeichel? wtf?! screw that poll then@
If we had a poll at RoM as to who our best player ever was/is, i guess the list would go something like this (This is of course excluding the Babes)
50% Charlton
30% Cantona
15% Best
2% Giggs
1% Keane
1% Schmeichel
0.9% Becks/Scholes/Neville
0.1% Ronaldo
Ronaldo winning? He aint even close. Anon you may be closer but what about Robbo and big Norm?
Wouldn’t you put Law in that list as well,Anon?
Also,I think that is a list of our favourite players,not our best.
@ anon, no robbo? no law? no hughes? no irwin?
Scott, hows about running a poll on best united players whilst the news is slow…….keep people occupied.
Duncan Edwards was on his way… he’d be top of any list if he’d had his full career
Giggs is United’s greatest ever player.
I’d put Keane higher up in that list. Apart from Giggsy and Cantona, Keano is the Premierships best ever player.
Check this out guys -

rooney was fucking horrendous!!!
Why the fuck does hughes have to talk out of his arse every now and then . The Tevez virus is spreading and fast . Can’t believe one of our legends has to come out with this rubbish every now and then.
Hughes might have been a top player, he might think he’s right in saying other managers use mind games because they never were top players.. one thing Hughes will never be though is a top manager
well done scott. congrats.
I would have Bryan Robson in the ‘best player’ ever.
He was my boyhood hero.
But I think Giggsy has to be up there for all the things he’s won.
Gary Birtles and Ralph Milne have got to be in there too.
JesperMoses – Birtles and Milne!! Fucking hell. Joking aside though mate, Robbo was my boyhood idol as well. A proper box to box midfielder who always gave his all and got fucking stuck in even if it resulted in injury after injury. Back in the day I actually liked watching Ingerlund and was absolutely gutted when he had to come home from Mexico 86 AND Italia 90!
Also how good was it to see him score against France in 82 in 27 seconds!
Jesper – Furthermore I liked him that much that I always got my old dears to buy me not Nike, Adidas or Puma boots but New Balance.
Congratulations!
Thanks all!
My top United players would be
Best
Charlton
Cantona.
But Robbo is my all time favourite, followed by Keano.
SB
I went for Riquelme!
