Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson is hoping that star striker http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Wayne-Rooney-c36736 continues his excellent form in the remaining matches and ends up breaking his previous career high tally of 34 goals.
The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cristiano-Ronaldo-c9629.
With the Seleccao magician not tormenting defenders in a Reds’ shirt, it has been up to Rooney to maintain the club’s success and so far he hasn’t disappointed.
Although he got a lot of stick for handing in a transfer request in 2010, the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Everton-c39043 man has morphed into a completely different player since then and is no longer a predatory finisher in the box, but rather a true number ten, whose abilities inspire
everyone around him.
Rooney’s highest tally in one season was during the 2009/2010 campaign, when he netted 34 times. However this term, the attacker has already scored 31, making it highly realistic that he will end this season as his most prolific one to date.
Not since the days of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 Ferguson hopes will actually happen.
“He can only do that if he keeps scoring right up to the end. Van Persie has had an exceptional season. I don’t know how you pick it. Wayne’s doing well. He’s scored 17 out of 17. I hope he gets to 40. Eight games left, average [just over] a goal a game
– you’d take that wouldn't you?
He also commented on the forward’s antics during the winter and revealed that it was a byproduct of youth and that the player has done well to recover from that episode.
“Everyone matures. We’re all different in our mid-twenties compared to our teenage days. "It’s what you always say about players when they get to their mid-twenties: there’s an ability and authority and timing comes into their play. They are able to control
themselves and experience helps,” he said.
