Gary Neville thinks Manchester United will win against Chelsea
It was a very unfortunate event that took place on Tuesday night’s Champions League with Wayne Rooney managing to injure himself and needing a rest for the remaining of the season due to mild ligament damage. This won’t let Manchester United’s team down especially Gary Neville who doesn’t consider Manchester United’s ability will be any less due to Wayne Rooney's absence against Chelsea today.
No doubt it is a big loss and a big challenge by losing number one striker but the team must go on. Wayne Rooney recovery is slated to be around three weeks. It could have been a lot worse but thankfully the injury was slight even though Rooney has given scares in the past with a few other injuries under his belt.
"We don't want injuries, particularly to our best players, Wayne will be a miss for us because he has been in such great form. But in the past people have always stood up to the plate and contributed. We have had key players out for big matches before and still won them. We have gone into finals without two or three major players and come through it. Chelsea also have players missing. They don't have Michael Essien or Ashley Cole. All teams get injuries and suspensions on the run-in. You have to cope with them", quotes Gary Neville.
Beyond a doubt Manchester United have to rise up from this drastic incident and prove the rest of the football world wrong that surely this is not a one man show but a team effort and they need to boost up their confidence. At one point you could not imagine Manchester taking the field without Cristiano Ronaldo who was on fire with his feet. Ronaldo was the front man who lead the attack but his departure to Real Madrid did not take Manchester to stone age; Wayne Rooney stepped up and showed the world his worth and talent by scoring 32% of all goals scored by the team.
At this level everyone got talent and on any given day can produce a nail biting performance. Team has to play together and go out there and tackle the problem with full throttle. Game against Chelsea is going to be a good game but who is going to win can only be left to the end of the game. Chelsea is a strong team and in the past has bounced back into a winning attitude from their previous departure from the Champions League.
However Neville and his team at United are aware that the upcoming match against Chelsea is huge is huge and anything less than the win is unacceptable by the United fans. The betting world agrees with Gary Neville; Manchester United is 2.76 to 1 favorite on the betting exchanges.
