Manchester United manager Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Wayne-Rooney-c36736 to equal Sir Bobby Charlton’s legendry goal scoring record for the club.
Rooney, who has been in fine form all season, is closing in on his highest’s tally ever for the Red Devils, despite not being a predatory striker in the box.
Ever since his U-turn to not leave United, the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Everton-c39043 man has redefined his role in the team and now uses his energy and great skill on the ball to influence proceedings from just behind the main forward.
This has resulted in him being involved in more of the side’s attack and it’s not farfetched to suggest that he is the fulcrum through which the team operates. Scoring consistently would be considered as an added bonus for him given where he is playing these
days, but Rooney has been finding the back of the net on a regular basis since December.
His goals have propelled the reigning champions back to the top of the Premier League with a five point cushion against nearest rivals Manchester City.
United next take on Everton and Sir Alex Ferguson is backing his star man to continue his goal scoring ways and even match Sir Bobby Charlton’s long standing record.
“He has time on his side to beat all types of records. There is every chance of beating Bobby’s record. He is on track to beat it and I am sure he will do it,” he said.
“We have had a clutch of players who scored an incredible amount of goals. I always thought of Wayne as a player who scored goals in clutches. Now they are evening themselves out and his scoring record is terrific.”
“What I have always said about him is that he plays on the edge. He likes the edge to a big game and he has a big game on Sunday.”
With Ferguson staunchly behind him, Rooney will surely be in line to face his former employers, who will give him a tough time nonetheless.
However with his abilities, the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 International should rise to the occasion and perhaps score some goals along the way.
