ALL EYES ON ROONEY

ROY BACKS ROONEY

Despite having scored almost 30 goals in the league alone for Manchester United, Wayne Rooney managed only one goal at the Euro 2012, although he was suspended for the first two matches of the group stages. He was especially poor in the quarter-final match against Italy. This has led to criticism from many saying that Wayne Rooney does not produce his best for the England national team.

FERGIE BACKS ROONEY

LLORENTE STILL BELIEVES

Athletic Bilbao player Fernando Llorente has said that even though Manchester United are the favourites due to the presence of players like Wayne Rooney, his club do have a chance but it comes to qualify for the next stage of the Europa league.

Manchester United will be facing Spanish club Athletic Bilbao in the last 16 of the Europa league knowing that they are one of the favourites not only to progress to the next round, but also to win the tournament as well.

ROONEY IN FOR GOAL OF THE YEAR

The Puskas Award is given by FIFA for the best goal scored by any player during the season. Wayne Rooney will be competing for this award along with Lionel Messi and Brazilian sensation Neymar.

ROONEY, MESSI AND RONALDO IN THE SAME SQUAD

A photoshop work of a Manchester City fan has been released online and it features the likes of Rooney, Messi and Ronaldo in the same team. The mocked-up City squad contained 80 players, most added digitally, including Wayne Rooney, Lionel Messi and, bizarrely, the 'Where's Wally?' character.

The mix-up occurred after Aris's editorial team, searching the internet for a City team photo, happened upon a mocked-up version shown on the Guardian's website, poking fun at City's sizeable ambitions in the transfer market, and believed it was the real squad.
