Rooney leads United... again

It's probably true what the commentators say: WAYNE ROONEY is just about the best player in the world.
Rooney came off the bench today to head the winner as MANCHESTER UNITED defeated ASTON VILLA, 2-1, to win THE 50TH CARLING CUP FINAL at WEMBLEY.
We watched the match live on television this morning.
Surprisingly on the bench at the start of the match, Rooney replaced the injured Michael Owen in the 42nd minute.
Aston Villa opened the scoring early, with a James Milner penalty in the fifth minute. Villa supporters will probably argue Nemanja Vidic should have been at least cautioned for the foul that led to the penalty.
There was no disputing Owen's equaliser in the 13th minute, and I thought United always seemed the most likely to win.
The victory gives SIR ALEX FERGUSON the 33rd major trophy of his career.
I cannot abide Manchester United, but I have to give (begrudgingly) credit where it is due.
Fergie and Rooney are doing wonders.
I hope Rooney carries on in that vein for ENGLAND at the World Cup!

Amazing how he's carrying the rags all by himself... He's going to be so knackered come June.
