Manchester United Fan In Malaysia

Love him or hate him, and the jury is still out on that, Wayne Rooney is one of the best footballers of his generation, and they have almost been able to tame the beast that lurks inside him.

Rooney is a scouser and was born in Croxteth, which is a suburb of Liverpool in 1985. The family is of Irish descent and are Catholic. Rooney attended a Catholic school. He played football for Liverpool Schoolboys until he was 15 and famously scored 72 goals in a single season.

Between the ages of 9 and 15 Rooney played for Liverpool Schoolboys and scored record numbers of goals. Spotted by a scout he joined Everton ages nine and made his first appearance with them as an unused substitute in 2002.

The following year he played his first game and in that October his first goals were in a match against Wrexham; he scored twice and became the club’s youngest ever goal scorer.

In 2004, aged 18, he left Everton to sign for Manchester United. The transfer fee was a massive £25.6 million. In his first match with United he scored three goals in a Champions League match against Fenerbahce. With 11 league goals, he was the club’s top scorer that year. To date Rooney has scored 147 goals for United, his best season being 2009-10 when he scored an astonishing 34 goals.

He is also the youngest England player when he debuted in 2003 aged 17. He was also the youngest goal scorer. He has appeared for England 70 times and has scored 26 goals.

Rooney has always courted controversy and has a petulant nature. He also has a thuggish personality and uses foul language. He is alleged to have frequented with prostitutes on several occasions. His innate violent nature has landed him in trouble both on and off the pitch despite having taken a number of anger management courses in an attempt to tame his inner beast; it takes little to make him flare up.

Rooney has come a long way from that small house on the Croxteth estate. He now lives with his wife Coleen in a mansion in a Cheshire village which is reputed to have cost £4.25 million.

It is not as we all expected. Not on the result but on the match. After all the hype, the big Premier League encounter between Manchester United and Arsenal turned out to be a very tactical match and not so beautiful (but still a good match. haha).

It has been a habit for Park Ji Sung to score against big team especially Arsenal. His first half goal early this morning was his forth goal against Arsenal. And with him only scored the total of 16 goals for United…it is a really big percentage!

Final result is 1-0 nit it should have been more. United wasted countless chances, the best of which being a penalty from Wayne Rooney 17 minutes from time that he ballooned over the bar.

At the end.. Sir Alex Ferguson satisfied with United performance..

“It was an unusual penalty, normally Wayne always keeps them down, I’ve never known him to hit one over. That gave Arsenal a bit of impetus but we defended very well, the back four were fantastic tonight, absolutely magnificent.”

But..Arsene Wenger blames the pitch (as always)…

“Overall the technical quality of the game suffered from a very bad pitch and that was why on both sides you’ve seen unusual technical mistakes.”

Bring on Chelsea…!

United will kick off the 2010/11 Barclays Premier League season against newly-promoted Newcastle at Old Trafford on the opening weekend.

If you believe in omens then it’s good news – the Reds have twice started campaigns against the Magpies in the Premier League era, in 2000/01 (won 2-0), and 2008/09 (1-1), and on both occasions have gone on to win the title.

There are the usual tricky patches, of course, with back-to-back clashes against Arsenal and Chelsea twice – in December (11, 18) and in the run-in (30 April, 7 May).

The last ten fixtures of the campaign look like producing plenty of fireworks with away trips to Anfield, Upton Park, St James’ Park, the Emirates Stadium and Ewood Park, with home games against Everton and Chelsea thrown in too.
