closer to the glory

A great performance was shown by Wayne Rooney who has just scored a couple of goals in the match against Milan.

Although everybody expected to see the unstopable Christiano Ronaldo making what he knows, this star couldn't shine as much as red devils wanted but he was part of the first goal.

The author of the other two goals was Wayne Rooney and his good tecnic.

Red devils are ready for the next match it promises to be full of emotion.

Re-Live: Manchester United 7-1 Roma

Manchester United produced a performance beyond superlatives to sweep aside Roma and book a place in the Champions League semi-final with a remarkable seven goals that left Roma in ruins and the rest of Europe in awe.

Michael Carrick (2), Cristiano Ronaldo (2), Alan Smith, Wayne Rooney and Patrice Evra were the men on the scoresheet but all fourteen players who took part deserve a share of the abundant praise after a performance that will be remembered long after they've hung up their talented boots - regardless of whether this leads to glory in Athens or not.

For those supporters still nursing the scars of that terrifying ordeal in the Italian capital, revenge was indeed sweet. Retribution, as was fit and proper, came in the form of a sound beating, and not the sort dished out by baton-wielding police.
Three goals inside the first 20 minutes, four in the opening half, six within the hour, sent United into the semi-finals of the Champions League for the first time in five seasons. Never before have United overcome a first leg deficit to progress into the next round of the knock-out stage. As for scoring seven goals, their previous best was five.

Goal appears but it wasn't enough

Wayne Rooney put the Red Devils in front early in the second half, but substitute Robin van Persie equalised with six minutes remaining before Henry wove his magic once again with virtually the last kick of the game.
Even when Henry didn't show magical moves and made many mistakes the last breath gave his team the victory over Manchester.
"I scored with my head so it must have been pretty special!" Henry said
"I wanted to make sure to at least make it difficult for Edwin [van der Sar] and I got the ball in the back of the net. It can't be better against Manchester United than to be 1-0 down and come back right at the end and win the game.
"A win against Manchester United is always special but especially so with the way we did it today. Doing the double over them is always a pleasure."

Wayne Rooney Buys £300,000 Florida Villa

Wayne Rooney and his fiancee Coleen McLoughlin have reportedly snapped up a luxury villa in Florida.
Coleen’s little sister Rosie suffers from Rett Syndrome, a brain disorder, and places like Sea World are ideal for her treatment.
The £300,000 villa is in a development in Harbor Pointe, Port Charlotte and is amongst the holiday homes of twenty other Premiership stars.
Golfer Lee Westwood always owns a property in the community which was voted one of the top five places to live in Florida.
Facilities include a restaurant, bar gym and swimming pool.
Rooney and his fiancee McLoughlin are also appearing together in a series of new ads for Coca-Cola.
McLoughlin is currently the face of Asda's range of "must haves" clothing.

Rooney turns down rest option

Wayne Rooney has snubbed the chance of a New Year’s break to rediscover his touch.
Manchester United boss Alex Ferguson was ready to give the England striker a 10-day rest, after a handful of tired-looking performances.
But Roo turned down the offer and was back at the Red Devils’ Carrington training ground yesterday for extra training.
Rooney, 21, was the only man who played the full game at Newcastle on New Year’s Day to put in any outdoor work.
Then, while the rest of the first-team squad took on the reserves, he did an hour’s shooting practice in a bid to find the answer to his recent barren spell.
A United source revealed: “No one expected to see him.
“We all thought he had been given time off but he was really hitting the ball hard.
"David Beckham used to fire free-kicks on his own, so I suppose it’s a similar scenario for Wayne.
"At least it shows how eager he is that he is willing to put the effort in.”
Rooney has not been on target since scoring against Manchester City on December 9 and has since gone five games without a goal.
The source added: “It’s the first time I’ve seen him do it but it’s been a frustrating time for him in front of goal this season.”
