Rooney was come back. 2006-10-30 05:59:00
The 21-year-old striker had gone eight United games without a goal before hitting his treble at the Reebok Stadium, and his relief was plain for all to see.
"It was brilliant," he told MUTV. "There's been a lot of talk by a lot of people over the last few weeks, with people asking if I can do it any more and stuff like that.
"I'm just really pleased to be back amongst the goals and playing well again. Although I'm not really too worried about not scoring as long as we get the result, it's always nice to score, especially after such a long time."
Rooney
's first two goals came inside 15 minutes as United began the game in astonishing fashion and caught their hosts on the back foot.
"We're very proud and happy with the performance," he conceded. "I think the first 20 minutes was probably the best we've played as a team all season. We opened Bolton up, got in behind them and made a lot of chances.

Heinze transfer to Paris Saint Germain? 2006-11-01 06:36:00 News emanating from the oh so reliable Sun camp suggests that Gabriel Heinze is a loan target for ParisSaintGermain
this morning. According to The Sun Heinze has been marginalised by the fantastic performances of Patrice Evra this season.
Let's dissect this story and see if there is any truth in it whatsoever. Firstly Heinze has not been marginalised by Evra's fantastic performances. Yes Evra has played very well this season and all credit to him, but Heinze has been injured for the majority of games, therefore he has not been marginalised.
Secondly Real Madrid were interested in the Argentinean as little as a month ago. At that point Heinze came out to the press and said that he wasn't going anywhere as he wanted to repay the loyalty of the club and manager that has stuck by him through his injury. If he says no to Real Madrid I get the sneaky feeling he may say no to Paris Saint Germain!
Thirdly he is loved at Old Trafford and has started all games he has been available for. Read more:transfer
FC Copenhagen Stuns Man Utd 2006-11-02 03:49:00 Sir Alex Ferguson had known from the beginning that a draw would be enough to ensure that his Man Utd
side progress to the next round in the Champions League but ex-Aston Villa player Marcus Allback had other ideas as he bundled in the winner to keep Copenhagen
's slim hopes alive while condeming United to their first defeat in Europe this season.The atmosphere in the stadium was almost similar to one you would see in Moscow, it was cold and there was snow falling down from the sky as the host opted to open the stadium's roof instead of clsoing it and preventhing the elements from coming in, it's a little strange, why build a retracable roof if you don't use it when you have the chance to? Anyway, United they field Gary Neville, Ryan Giggs and Louis Saha as Wes Brown, Darren Fletcher and Ole Gunnar took their place respectively while Rio Ferdinand, Paul Scholes and Patrice Evra were also rested with Silvestre, O' Shea and Heinze coming in for the trio, so it was a total of si

Man Utd dumped out of Carling Cup 2006-11-08 03:44:00 Manchester United have been sensationally dumped out of the Carling
Cup by Southend. A Freddy Eastwood free kick put the Essex side ahead. The bottom-placed Championship side then faced sustained pressure from the Premiership leaders. But despite fielding a strong side, including Wayne Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo, Alex Ferguson's men were unable to reply and went out 1-0. There were joyous scenes in Essex as fans watched their struggling side progress to the quarter finals. Newcastle eased the pressure on Glenn Roeder by beating Watford on penalties. The Magpies led early on through Antoine Sibierski, but Damien Francis put Watford level to force extra time. Watford then went in front through Danny Shittu on 108 minutes. Scott Parker levelled the scores and the Tynesiders progressed 5-4 on penalties. Charlton ended Chesterfield's Carling Cup
run with a penalty shoot-out victory following a 3-3 draw. Wycombe Wanderers also went through to the q Read more:Man Utd
Reds Aim To End Dismal Run At Ewood 2006-11-10 03:20:00 United travel to Ewood Park to face Blackburn this weekend, intent on ending an unwanted winless run in visits to the Lancashire club.It has been over eight years since United registered an away League win over Rovers; six games have passed since the Reds' 3-1 win in April 1998.Although United did win in the 2003 League Cup semi-final at Ewood, Rovers' recent record against United is as good as anybody's. Last season they registered a first league double over the Reds in 75 years.And, with no Carling Cup involvement this week, boss Mark Hughes has been thankful for the extra time to prepare his side for United's visit. "We're grateful for the free week, we have a big game at the weekend against Manchester United so we've a lot to mull over," he said.United go into the game on the back of a Carling Cup upset at Championship strugglers Southend United. Sir Alex Ferguson, however, is relishing the chance to get back to winning ways."Defeat doesn't do anyone any harm, as long as th
Internationals: Rooney on target 2006-11-17 02:07:00 Wayne Rooney
bagged his first international goal for a year as England earned a 1-1 draw with Holland in Amsterdam.
The Reds' striker, whose last goal for his country came against Argentina in Geneva 12 months ago, struck on 37 minutes, but Rafael Van der Vaart's late equaliser denied England a deserved victory.Rooney, Michael Carrick and Rio Ferdinand all completed 90 minutes, while Kieran Richardson came on for the final 12 minutes. Wes Brown and goalkeeper Ben Foster, currently on loan at Watford, were both unused substitutes.Elsewhere, Cristiano Ronaldo was also on the scoresheet as Portugal sealed a convincing 3-0 win over Kazakhstan. The Reds' winger, who was initially doubtful for the game after picking up an ankle knock in the win over Blackburn last weekend, netted Portugal's second goal on the night.Another United star on the mark was Nemanja Vidic who gave Serbia a 6th minute lead against Norway. However, a John Carew equaliser 16 minutes later earned the Norwegians a d

SIR Alex Ferguson has reported a clean bill of health for Manchester United
's clash with Sheffield
United at Bramall Lane.Skipper Gary Neville has come through training and suffered no reaction to a calf problem while Cristiano Ronaldo is fit despite picking up an ankle injury at Blackburn last weekend.
It means Ferguson is almost certain to name an unchanged side for the third Premiership game on the trot with Patrice Evra retaining his place at left-back ahead of Gabriel Heinze. Neville says the Reds can be assured of a real test, with ex-Bury boss Neil Warnock sure to have his troops fired up. "It will be a battle at Bramall Lane," says Neville. "We had a difficult game at Reading away and at Wigan last season, because teams that have just come up always provide difficult opposition. "It's a huge game for them because the visit of Manchester United is the sort of game for which they wanted to get promoted. They are also a big club and will have Read more:Preview

Ronaldo Ready For Sunday Blockbuster 2006-11-24 01:41:00 Cristiano Ronaldo
claims United are well equipped to win the Premiership going into this weekend's top of the table clash with Chelsea.The Blues visit Old Trafford on Sunday
afternoon with United currently three points clear of the champions, and the game's importance isn't lost on Ronaldo."This weekend's game with Chelsea is very vital," he said. "We're neck-and-neck with Chelsea and this is a good sign because we can't let them get too far ahead like last year. We're in a better position to win the league."I think Chelsea are about the same as they were last year. The transfers of Shevchenko and Ballack haven't changed them too much in terms of their superiority to everybody else."The Portuguese winger is adamant that, despite Tuesday's Champions League hiccup against Celtic, the Reds can conquer all before them."I think we're capable of winning everything - the Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League," he said. "Man United are fighting, as always, to win every trophy. Read more:Blockbuster
Boss delegates penalty decision 2006-11-28 05:26:00 Louis Saha and Cristiano Ronaldo will decide between themselves who should be on spot-kick duty for United, according to Reds boss Sir Alex Ferguson.
After Saha's miss against Celtic in the Champions League last week, it was speculated that Ronaldo would assume the responsibility for the Reds.The Portuguese winger has proved he has the nerve to take penalties in high-pressure situations, he converted the decisive kick to knock England out of the World Cup in the summer.But, despite reports suggesting the 21-year-old had been promoted to the role of regular penalty taker, Sir Alex has confirmed he will let the decision
be made by the two players on the day."I have left it between Louis and Cristiano to decide," the Reds boss told Sky Sports.
"Sometimes if one is playing better than the other it is sensible for the one who is playing really well to take it. Although I told Louis if he needed one for his hat-trick he should take it."

United 3 Everton 0 2006-11-30 03:08:00 MUCH-CHANGED Manchester United
took another stuttering step forward in their bid to land the Barclays Premiership title but the manner of their win over Everton
left lingering question marks over the depth of Sir Alex Ferguson's squad.
Cristiano Ronaldo put the Red Devils in front before the break, before Patrice Evra, with his first for the club, and John O'Shea netted to maintain a three-point lead over Chelsea.
But the decisive scoreline could not mask the lacklustre nature of some of United's play and the imbalance in Ferguson's side at the final whistle only emphasised the desperate requirement for striking reinforcements in the January transfer window.
Not that Ferguson will be too bothered, getting the victory he wanted - in a fixture United have not won for the past two seasons - after being able to give some of his key men a rest ahead of Saturday's trip to Middlesbrough and next week's make-or-break Champions League encounter with Benfica.

Report : United 3 City 1 2006-12-11 03:41:00 United 3 City 1
UNITED regained the bragging rights after an open and entertaining Manchester derby at Old Trafford. First-half goals from Wayne Rooney and Louis Saha put United in control, but City never stopped battling and Hatem Trabelsi's strike after 72 minutes gave them hope. However, Cristiano Ronaldo settled matters with six minutes remaining and the Blues' misery was compounded when Bernardo Corradi was sent off for a second bookable offence. Having already established a six-point lead over a Chelsea side who face Arsenal at Stamford Bridge, there was much more than just local pride at stake for Ferguson's men. City made their intentions known from the start as Joey Barton clattered into Ronaldo in the opening seconds. It was the type of treatment Ferguson has long lamented and, given Barton escaped with a warning, it was a little surprising Ben Thatcher was booked for merely blocking off the Portugal winger a little later on. By that time though, Ronaldo had already Read more:United
Adu leaves United for Real 2006-12-14 09:50:00 American soccer star Freddy Adu, who recently spent two weeks on trial with United
, has left his club DC United to join Real Salt Lake.
The 17-year-old midfielder, who can't play outside the US until his 18th birthday on 2 June next year, scored 11 goals in 87 appearances in the capital, and is excited with his move.
"I couldn't be happier to be here," Adu said. "It is something I wanted. They've worked so hard to get me here and I appreciate that. This sort of has the same feeling as when I first came into the league. I feel reborn."
Real Salt Lake chief executive Dean Howes was equally delighted. "This is an exciting day for our club," he announced. "Freddy is one of the most recognised names in American soccer. He instantly makes us a better team on the field and will raise our level of awareness off it."
Ghana-born Adu has been linked with a move to Europe when he turns 18 but Real Salt Lake general manager Steve Pastornini has urged him to stay in the MLS. "(Adu) has a contr Read more:leaves
West Ham 1 United 0 2006-12-18 07:23:00 NIGEL Reo-Coker answered Alan Curbishley's call to do his talking on the pitch by grabbing the winner in the West Ham
manager's first game in charge.
Skipper Reo-Coker, who has suffered a slump in form this season and has been linked with a move from the club, scored the only goal at Upton Park against Barclays Premiership leaders Manchester United
.
United's lead at the summit had been cut to two points following Chelsea's win earlier in the day, and they were denied by a polished performance from goalkeeper Robert Green.
Green kept the hosts in the game with a stunning save to deny Cristiano Ronaldo in the second half, and Reo-Coker's near-post finish meant a triumphant start to Curbishley's reign.
Curbishley, who grew up in nearby Canning Town, had promised to select his starting XI on what he had seen in training since his appointment on Wednesday.
As a result Carlos Tevez, the Argentina striker who has not broken his Hammers duck, was on the bench and there was no place for h
Scholes delighted by volley 2006-12-26 03:49:00 Paul Scholes
reckons his volley
in the 3-0 win at Aston Villa is better than the goal he scored direct from a corner at Bradford nearly seven years ago.
At Bradford in March 2000, the United midfielder fired home a scorching volley direct from a David Beckham corner. His thunderbolt at Villa Park was just as impressive, and accoring to the man himself, possibly better than his previous effort."I knew I'd hit it well and I was just happy to see it go in off the underside of the bar," he told MUTV. "I'd probably say it's better than my goal against Bradford."They always look a bit better when they go in off the underside of the bar like the Villa one did!"It's certainly up there [with my best goals]. I found myself in quite a lot of space during most of the corners we had in the game so I was waiting for one. Thankfully one came."It's great to be back amongst the goals - it's been a while since I've scored [against Liverpool in October]," he added. "I haven't scored as many goals
Latics boss lauds star duo 2006-12-28 03:21:00 Paul Jewell paid tribute to Wayne Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo after the young pair conspired to bury his Wigan side on Boxing Day.
Ronaldo scored twice within four minutes of his half-time introduction, while Rooney was outstanding throughout the Reds' 3-1 win.
Although the England striker was frustrated in front of goal, it was his all-round contribution which caught Jewell's eye.
"Cristiano Ronaldo is brilliant," said Jewell. "Not only is he quick, he is also a fantastic footballer. He is good in the air and he lifted the crowd.
"Rooney was amazing as well. We had a three-on-one situation when he got back to clear. The lad does not know the meaning of the phrase 'lost cause'."
Having faced United and second-placed Chelsea in the space of four days, Jewell admits this season's title race will go right to the wire.
"It will be a dead heat," he predicted when asked which side he thought would ultimately prevail as champions.
"Today Manchester United were better than us in all dep Read more:lauds
Boss rues missed chances 2007-01-03 06:05:00 Sir Alex Ferguson admitted after United drew 2-2 with Newcastle at St James' Park that his side should have come away with three points after "creating enough chances
to win five matches".
At 2-1 early in the second half the only additions to the scoreline looked like coming from the Reds. But the Magpies hit back with a deflected strike from teenage defender David Edgar.
However, despite the dropped points, Sir Alex isn't too concerned about the implications the result could have on the title race.
"There will be points dropped by both teams," he told Sky Sports. "There is a real challenge for the championship now. Chelsea are not getting it all their way as they have done in the last two years. We are serious contenders"
Analysing the match, he added: "We had three cleared off the line, that's a bit unlucky, and Ryan Giggs, Louis Saha and Ji-sung Park all had good chances. When you are creating chances you would hope you do enough to win, and we should have won the
Ole pays tribute to Larsson 2007-01-11 05:38:00 Ole Gunnar Solskjaer claims Henrik Larsson is Scandinavia's greatest footballing export since legendary Danish midfielder Michael Laudrup.
The Swedish striker enjoyed a superb goalscoring debut against Aston Villa, prompting Solskjaer to draw the flattering comparison with former Juventus, Real Madrid, Barcelona and Ajax star Laudrup.
"Henrik Larsson is the best player we have had in Scandinavia since Michael Laudrup," he told Aftenposten.
"He continues to get better, and it was important for the manager to see what kind of shape he was in because he hadn't played for a while. I do not think he was disappointed."
Larsson's dramatic United bow sparked rumours that he could extend his loan to the end of the current campaign, while the Swedish FA are trying to tempt him out of international retirement.
Swedish FA chairman Lars-Ake Lagrell told Aftonbladet: "There have been talks with Henke. I cannot say exactly what these discussions involved.
"Obviously it would be fantastic news i Read more:tribute
Strikers give Sir Alex problems 2007-01-17 05:17:00 Sir Alex Ferguson says that even selecting United's substitutes bench has become a dilemma - but one of his greatest challenges is choosing the team's strike-pairing.Louis Saha (12 goals) and Wayne Rooney (eight) have been his preferred choice for much of the campaign. But with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer possessing the most clinical record (nine goals in 17 games) and Henrik Larsson already making his mark, the United boss has a tough decision on his hands every week.Not that they are sole contributors to the scoreline; 13 others have chipped in this season, while winger Cristiano Ronaldo is top scorer on 13. For Sir Alex, the potential for goals in attacking positions has summoned memories of United's Treble season, and the quartet of Andy Cole, Dwight Yorke, Teddy Sheringham and Solskjaer."My thoughts go back to our Treble year with no doubt in my mind that the key to our success in 1999 on three fronts was the fact that we also had four top-class strikers," the Reds boss wrote Read more:Strikers

Boss: We'll hit back 2007-01-23 01:47:00
Sir Alex Ferguson was philosophical in defeat following Arsenal's smash and grab 2-1 victory at the Emirates Stadium, insisting all champions must overcome disappointment.
The Reds' boss saw his side go down to two late goals from substitute Robin van Persie and Thierry Henry, who headed the winner in the last minute of stoppage time.
"Both of ourselves and Chelsea will drop points. It is the name of the game. But how we cope is important," insisted the United manager. "Only true champions can come out of such disappointments and show their worth and I expect us to do that. We are still six points clear and we mustn't forget that."
The result prevented United from moving further ahead of nearest challengers Chelsea, who lost 2-0 at Liverpool on Saturday. Nevertheless, Sir Alex remained upbeat after the game and says lessons will be learnt from the experience.
"There is big disappointment in the dressing room but when I look at things now I think the result and the experience o
Reds drawn with Royals 2007-01-30 06:10:00
United will play Steve Coppell's Reading at Old Trafford in the FA Cup fifth round.
The tie will take place over the weekend of 17 and 18 February.
The clash will be the eleventh FA Cup meeting between the pair. United have won five of the previous ten Cup games (losing only one), the most recent being the 3-0 win in January 1996.
That day goals from Eric Cantona, Ryan Giggs and a stunner from defender Paul Parker sealed victory.
The pair have already met twice this season. The first game at the Madejski Stadium in September ended 1-1, while the return match at the end of last year resulted in a 3-2 win for the Reds.

Saha return is a big boost 2007-02-03 04:09:00
Sir Alex Ferguson is hoping Louis Saha can fire United a step closer to the title on Sunday at White Hart Lane after recovering from a knee injury.
The Reds' striker has been in and out of action in recent weeks, and missed the 2-1 FA Cup win over Portsmouth and the 4-0 Premiership victory against Watford with a minor knock.
However, the 28-year-old has come through a week's training unscathed and will be part of the 22-man squad for Sunday's crucial clash with Spurs.
"Everyone is fit, all 22 players. Touch wood it stays that way," said Sir Alex at his pre-match press conference. "Louis has trained all week and has been in full training since Wednesday. He will travel with us for Sunday's game.
"A goal threat will improve our [title] chances and Louis adds to what we've got. He's an excellent striker and I'm glad he's back."
Boss salutes battling Addicks 2007-02-12 04:41:00 Sir Alex Ferguson was pleased to beat Charlton, but admitted he was surprised by the quality of the Addicks' display at Old Trafford.
Goals in either half from Ji-sung Park and Darren Fletcher sealed the points for United, but the visitors served up a few scares throughout the afternoon.
"It was hard work for three points," Sir Alex told MUTV. "There were periods when there was a stalemate about the game and you have to give credit to Charlton, I thought it was a really good performance by them.
"It was a surprising performance I must say, because when teams are at the bottom of the league they don't always have the confidence to play, and I thought Charlton did."
Alan Pardew's side almost drew level when Dennis Rommedahl's free kick was flicked fractionally wide of Tomasz Kuszczak's goal, shortly before Fletcher clinched the victory.
The Boss reflected: "They had a free kick that was glanced on and it must have missed the post by a matter of inches. And these are worrying moment Read more:salutes
What Fergie's say? 2006-10-18 08:08:00 UNITED manager Sir Alex Ferguson claimed his side's 3-0 Champions League victory over FC Copenhagen had shown the players were keen to avoid any more "embarrassments".The Red Devils failed to qualify for the group stages last season after defeat by Benfica in Portugal and Ferguson has drilled into his players that it cannot be allowed to happen again.Paul Scholes put the home side ahead in the 39th minute before John O'Shea (46) and Kieron Richardson (83) put the result beyond doubt."I think they have proved themselves," said Ferguson."They have grown up. They don't want any more embarrassments and they played well into the bargain."The Scot also had praise for England striker Wayne Rooney, who was handed the captain's armband after Rio Ferdinand and Ryan Giggs were late withdrawals."I thought he was fantastic. It is always difficult choosing captains and I looked at Edwin van der Sar but it is never the most important issue," he said.Ferguson added: "It was a good attacking perfor Read more:Fergie
Ronny's Cup delight 2007-03-20 06:47:00 Cristiano Ronaldo was in buoyant mood after firing United to victory over Middlesbrough and into the FA Cup semi-finals.The Reds' winger netted his 18th of the season from the penalty spot after he was tripped by Jonathan Woodgate.Middlesbrough's players were incensed by the decision, but television replays cleared showed there was contact.“For me it is a penalty," insisted Ronaldo afterwards. I felt contact, that is why I slipped. He touched me. If he touches me I lose my movement and that is why I go down. He kicked me."Why when Cristiano is involved is it always political? Maybe some people don’t like me because maybe I’m too good."The Reds now face a semi-final trip to Villa Park where they'll play Watford. With Wembley just one step away, Ronaldo is determined to help the team book their place at the stadium's opening showpiece."It'll be a difficult game but when you have a good team then you have a good chance to get to the final," he insisted."I feel confident.

Park ruled out of Roma trip 2007-04-04 02:46:00 Ji-sung Park was the only unexpected absentee as United departed Manchester for Wednesday night's Champions League quarter-final first leg in Roma.The South Korean midfielder was not in the travelling party - he has a minor knee injury but should be available for selection when the Reds travel to Portsmouth on Saturday.The better news is that Louis Saha and Darren Fletcher have flown to Italy. Sir Alex Ferguson had hinted that the pair would feature for the Reserves on Thursday night in order to gain match fitness, but they will instead bolster the senior squad in Rome.Despite Saha and Fletcher's inclusion, the squad is still a far cry from the bulging ranks which travelled to France for the second round clash with Lille in February.Only four defenders have travelled - John O'Shea, Wes Brown, Rio Ferdinand and Gabriel Heinze. Patrice Evra is still sidelined, alongwith Gary Neville, Mikael Silvestre and the latest injury victim, Nemanja Vidic.United's squad to face AS Roma: Van der
Starlets can become legends 2007-05-19 10:29:00 Edwin van der Sar claims United's title-winning starlets have the ability to achieve legendary status at Old Trafford providing they push on from here.The Dutch stopper is full of praise for his team-mates after beating Chelsea over the finishing line to seal United's ninth Premiership title under Sir Alex Ferguson.But he is urging them to kick on and build on this season's achievements in the coming years."You do not become a legend overnight - you have to win things over a long period," insists van der Sar. "The players have shown their ability this season. Every game has been important for us and we’ve shown we have been up for every one."Every player selected for Saturday or Tuesday or Wednesday has had to perform and we have not had to carry any one."Chelsea were so well ahead in the previous seasons. But this season, we have been playing well enough to cope with anything that has been put in our way."The squad is well positioned to achieve something special," adds the 36-yea
Ryan rues referee error 2007-05-20 19:54:00 Ryan Giggs claims a referee
ing mistake denied him the chance to become the FA Cup's most successful modern player.The Welshman seemed to be on the verge of his fifth winner's medal - one more than anyone since the 1800's - when he slid in to meet Wayne Rooney's cross in extra-time.Giggs made contact with the ball, only for Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech to smother it and apparently deny the officials a clear view of whether it had crossed the line or not. However, the United winger was in no doubt a goal should have been given his way.Ryan said: "I said to the ref, 'You saw it go over and the linesman saw it go over'. If we had got that goal we might well have gone on to win the game."Cech admitted the ball had gone over his line but claimed: "It would have been a foul anyway."When I made the initial save the ball had not crossed the line, then Ryan Giggs slid in, kicked me in the face and pushed me further back."As United captain in the absence of Gary Neville, Giggs had the dubio Read more:error
