Wayne Rooney is excellent form in Manchester United's march to a 20th Premier Arguably the best striker to ever wear a Manchester United jersey, Rooney’s future has not always seemed so bright.
September 3, 2010 a call
girl in London, stepped forward and contacted a London news paper to reveal she
had been having an affair with the soccer titan. The news shocked all of England, but what was
even more terrible was that his wife Colleen, had been pregnant during the
affair. Of course the news spread like
the black plague. Even Rooney’s most
loyal fans began to question Rooney’s abhorrent actions.
The tabloids seemed to be
getting to Rooney as he only found the net twice in October and was erased from
the scoring sheet during the month of November.
On December 14th
Rooney commented for the first time on the matter of his affair and admitted to
cheating on his pregnant wife.
Rooney seemed to be losing
his carnivorous appetite to find the back of the net and his play seemed to be
anything, but the quality of a soccer legend.
Fortunately, Rooney managed
to mend his relationship with his wife and thankfully his concentration and
eagerness returned to him! Rooney scored
league high 14 goals in February, 2011, ever since Rooney has continued on the
right path.
United has moved five
points clear of local rival Manchester City with seven rounds left largely on
the back of Rooney's eight goals in his past seven matches, taking his tally to
28 in all competitions this season and 175 overall, a monstrous total.
Prior to the visit of
relegation-threatened Queens Park Rangers to Old Trafford on Sunday, Rooney is
four goals behind George Best and Dennis Viollet, who are tied for third in
United's list.
"I've seen about the
all-time scoring record and a few people have reminded me of it as well, but
I'm still a long, long way away from Sir Bobby (Charlton, on 249 goals) and
Denis Law (on 237),'' Rooney said.
"I'm obviously proud
to be up there and be in touching distance of some legends of the club.
Hopefully I can overtake them soon.''
If United wins an eighth consecutive
league match, City will battle third-place Arsenal later Sunday with an
eight-point deficit - having obtained a five-point lead back in December.
"I don't think this
championship is finished,'' City manager Roberto Mancini said Thursday.
"If they (United) win all their games, they deserve to win the title.''
City, chasing a first
English title since 1968, has won just one of its past four games and failed to
maintain it's lossless home record after a dissapointing match against
Sunderland, where they tied 3-3. The
road ahead looks rocky for city as Aguero struggles to maintain his brilliant
form because of an ankle injury.
