Leading the applause: Thierry Henry (left) has
praised Wayne Rooney (right)
Rooney said of his feat: ‘It’s something I’m very proud of.
It’s a great feeling to score 100 goals.’
Former
Arsenal
striker Thierry Henry puts
Wayne Rooney’s increased scoring rate down to his changed role
with Manchester
United.
‘People were having a go at him before because he wasn’t
scoring,’ said Henry, who scored 174 Premier League goals.
‘But how can he score when he was running like a nutter to get
the ball? When he was arriving in the final third he was not fresh
enough to finish, and this year you see the difference. If he stays
up there for 10 years, he will score goals for 10 years.’
