| Rooney salutes evergreen Giggs |
| 2009-12-01 03:15:00 |
Wayne Rooney was full of praise for Ryan Giggs, after the veteran winger provided two goals and scored another in United's 4-1 win at Fratton Park.The Welshman, who turned 36 on Sunday, was at his influential best against Avram Grant's side and, although Rooney's hat-trick hogged the headlines, it was the contribution of Giggs which had the England international purring."He's amazing," Rooney told MUTV. "His energy, his workrate, his passing and his movement are unbelievable. It's a privilege to play with him."He plays more like a 26-year-old; he's up and down, he's everywhere. It's great for him to get his 100th Premier League goal. I didn't know (about the record) until after the game, but I'm delighted for him."Rooney also took time out to praise the man on the opposite flank; Antonio V...

| Besiktas 0-1 Manchester United: Paul Scholes goal enough for three points |
| 2009-09-15 18:21:00 |
A late header from Paul Scholes handed Manchester United a 1-0 win over Besiktas in Istanbul to give them a winning start in the Champions League.The first hour of the match was an evenly matched affair as the well organised hosts stifled United with the full backing of their vociferous home support.But the Red Devils made substitutions and a tactical change as the game began to open up in the closing stages and Scholes pounced with a header on 77 minutes after Hakan Arikan had parried Nani’s shot – a perfect response after his sending off against Tottenham Hotspur last weekend.As a result Wolfsburg and United lead the way in Group B after the first match-day, with CSKA Moscow and the Turkish champions getting off to losing starts.Besiktas' key men, striker Nihat Kahveci and experience...

| Andrew Cole: Wayne Rooney Will Score '25-30 Goals' For Manchester United |
| 2009-09-07 05:16:00 |
Former Manchester United striker Andrew Cole has backed Wayne Rooney to score "25-30 goals" this season. Cole, himself having scored 121 goals in 275 appearances for United, felt that Rooney was keen to step up in the absence of Cristiano Ronaldo and prove his class."Rooney has started the season really well. He's ready to step into Ronaldo's shoes. His attitude is 'I'm top, and I'm going to prove it'. He's the man to get 25-30 goals this season," Cole said, according to United’s official website.The ex-England ace also urged fans to be patient with Dimitar Berbatov, after the Bulgarian endured a mixed first season. Cole acknowledged that the high expectations that greeted Berbatov have yet to be met, but emphasised the importance of the stylish forward’s contributions."It's not easy c...

| Wayne Rooney Set For New Manchester United Mega-Deal |
| 2009-08-24 03:39:00 |
The Red Devils are planning to make their star striker one of England's highest earners...Manchester United are making ready to offer Wayne Rooney a bumper new contract, the News of the World claims.The England forward, who netted twice in his club's 5-0 rout of Wigan Athletic on Saturday to pass 100 United goals, still has three years remaining on his current deal.He presently rakes in around £105,000 per week, but the powers that be at Old Trafford feel that Rooney deserves to match it with the highly paid stars of the Premier League's nouveau riche outfits.Chelsea stalwarts John Terry and Frank Lampard and the Manchester City trio of Carloz Tevez, Emmanuel Adebayor and Robinho are each said to earn upwards of £150,000 per week.And United are more than willing to reward the Scouse star...

| Chelsea 2 United 2 (4-1 on pens) |
| 2009-08-10 09:57:00 |
The Community Shield was prised from United’s grasp in an enthralling clash at Wembley, a game that required a penalty shoot-out to separate two evenly-matched sides. Despite this defeat, 4-1 on penalties after a 2-2 draw in normal time, the Reds' performance provides plenty of promise for the season ahead.Nani had given United the lead with a long-range effort after just ten minutes, then Ricardo Carvalho equalised shortly after half-time. But in a competition that used to be called the Charity Shield, there was little charity in Chelsea’s second. As Patrice Evra lay prostrate on the ground after a bad Michael Ballack challenge, referee Chris Foy neglected to stop play and Frank Lampard scored what everyone thought was the winner. That was until substitute Ryan Giggs picked out Wayne ...

| Manchester United To Probe Valencia Over David Silva |

The Red Devils are apparently plotting one lust hurrah in the summer market...According to the News of the World, Manchester United have set their sights on Valencia's sought-after playmaker, David Silva.The Spanish international's future has been a source of great speculation all summer long, with clubs all over Europe thought to have inquired after the player.Given Los Che's well-documented financial troubles, it is widely believed that they will have to sell either David Villa or Silva to balance the books - and with the former now certain to stay, the odds have shortened on the latter leaving.Nevertheless, Valencia recently declared that the 23-year-old midfielder will not be sold, and although Sir Alex Ferguson has hinted that his transfer business is done, sections of the British pre...

| 2009-06-29 03:35:00 |
According to the News of the World, Arsenal are set to announce their interest in the highly sought-after Olympique Lyonnais striker, Karim Benzema.The 21-year-old is currently in the midst of a tug-of-war between Manchester United and Real Madrid, with Lyon and the player's agent admitting that both super-clubs are genuinely interested.It is thought that it will take upwards of €30 million to prise Benzema away from the Stade Gerland, a sum that would usually rule a team of the Gunners' nature out of the bidding altogether.However, recent reports suggest that the London side are seriously considering offers for Emmanuel Adebayor, as Milan have declared that they are chasing the Togolese forward.The board at Ashburton Grove will let Arsene Wenger decided whether or not to offload 25-year...
