Rio: Rooney Will Bounce Back
Wayne Rooney will soon be back to his scintillating best says
Manchester United pal Rio Ferdinand. England striker Rooney has
looked out of form since returning from a three-game ban. But
defender Ferdinand said: Wayne is getting sharper with each game,
but you have to remember he has been out a long time. He has only
played about six games in six months and no matter how good you are
that is going to affect you. But I thought he was our liveliest
player at Reading at the weekend. Against Benfica on Tuesday night
he was asked to do a different job out wide and did it well,
sacrificing himself for the team.
Neil Custis, The Sun
The Sun quotes captain Gary Neville as admitting United were too
disrepectful in last year's Champions League campaign. The Reds
finished bottom of their group, and Neville admitted: We are very
aware of what happened last year - we didnt respect the opponents
in our group. You have to show respect to the teams and the players
you are playing."
Elsewhere, Cristiano Ronaldo reveals how he is completely
indifferent to terrace taunts from opposing fans. "I just stay
focused and play my game," he revealed. "It doesn't bother me
because I am used to being booed these days."
