Wayne Rooney goal best I've ever seen: Sir Alex Ferguson
Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson labelled Wayne Rooney’s 77th minute strike against Manchester City the best goal he had ever seen at Old Trafford.
With the score levelled at 1-1, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Wayne-Rooney-c36736 took it upon himself to score the winner. A deflected cross from Luis Nani found Rooney inside the box, who jumped in the air and managed a perfect overhead kick into the top corner of the net.
There was nothing the goalkeeper http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Joe-Hart-c18699 could do but to watch the magnificent shot sail into the top corner as Rooney scored his 7th goal of the 2010-11 season. Manchester City had equalised in the second half, thanks to a deflected goal from
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Nani-c27299’s brilliant strike in the first half.
Sir Alex was extremely pleased with the performance of his team but believed that Rooney’s strike was the highlight of the match. The Scotsman was delighted with the overall performance but admitted Rooney deserved the limelight for his decisive strike.
“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,” stated the Man United manager.
“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,” added Sir Alex.
The win against Manchester City would really alleviate the pressure build up following the loss against Wolverhampton Wanderers and has really put United as the firm favourites to lift the Premier League trophy.
However, Manchester United face tough fixtures ahead, as they now travel to Anfield and Stamford Bridge in back-to-back games. This led to Ferguson demanding the same tenacity from the Wayne Rooney-Dimitar Berbatov partnership away from home.
The United manager said that both of the strikers have been a shadow of their brilliant self on the road. He said that the quality and class both players possessed was immense and the duo should dictate the game for the entire team. Sir Alex added should
they keep performing like that, there would be no stopping the Red Devils.
Despite managing the win, Sir Alex refused to rule City out as title contenders and expected them to be part of the top four in the 2010-11 season. The manager stated that they have a huge squad with top quality players and would keep on winning fixtures
until the end of the season.
