Manchester United’s striker has come out and said that there are no easy matches in the UEFA Champions League for Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 Ferguson’s team. Rooney was speaking to the media after Manchester United’s 2-0 win over Otelul Galati at
Old Trafford in the group stages of the European club cup competition. Sir Alex deployed Rooney in a midfield role due to a shortage of options in that department of the squad.
The veteran Scotsman started with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Dimitar-Berbatov-c11254 as United’s two strikers but the former had to be substituted within the first ten minutes due to a hamstring injury. Hernandez replaced Owen and carried on for
the rest of the match for the Red Devils.
Sir Alex Ferguson’s team now face off against Benfica in their next UEFA Champions League encounter and a win against the Portuguese side will propel Manchester United to the top of their group. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Antonio-Valencia-c6345 scored the first
goal of the match against Galati but United’s second goal was a bit contentious as Rooney’s shot took a massive deflection and ended up in the back of the net for the home side.
Rooney said in his interview, “Thankfully we’ve got the two goal win and now I think win the next home game and we’ll win the group. We’ve done a http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Job-c18684 tonight, we knew we had to win because in the Champions League there are no easy
games and they’ve come and defended and pressed us quite high which is surprising.”
He added that that he will claim the second goal as he took the shot which eventually ended up in the back of the net. Rooney played as a central midfielder and stated that it wasn’t a problem for him to get used to the new position
as he used to play as a midfielder when he was younger at http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Everton-c13019. Manchester United play their next league encounter against Sunderland at Old Trafford on the upcoming weekend and after that the players are due to participate in international football with
their respective national sides.
