Manchester United's manager, Alex Ferguson, has stated that he could not recall a better goal than the one Wayne Rooney scored to help United pick up a crucial derby win over their local city rivals, Manchester City. The brilliantly sublime effort from the

in a stale-mate, Rooney produced a moment of brilliance that is certain to become a part of United folklore.
One person who was more than impressed with the goal was Alex Ferguson, who is reported to have said: "It was stunning. [Nani's opener] was an unbelievable goal, but nobody in their right sense will even talk about it. All the talk will be about that winning
goal - unbelievable." When the manager was asked if he had ever seen a better goal scored at Old Trafford, he responded by saying: "No. Rooney hit a volley against Newcastle some years ago and it was that ferocity. We've had some fantastic goals here but in
terms of execution....you'll never see that."
However the manager being the strategist that he is, then went on to state that now his goal was to get the best out of his attacking duo on the road. If he manages to do just that, then United could potentially go on to win the title at the end of the season.
The manager then added: "I have to say that what I need to get out of Wayne and Berbatov is performances away from home. They've not been as good as they have been at home. When they do, it'll make a h**l of a difference to Manchester United."
The performance from Rooney, is more than certain to be in contention for goal of the season. The timing and the technique that were behind the goal were executed to such perfection, that it would be close to impossible for Rooney to reproduce it at will.
United fans hope the magic continues as the Red Devils hit the road soon. With the title race getting close, it seems as if Rooney is getting ready to lead United into the history books.
