MANCHESTER UNITED YAIPIGA FEYENOORD BAO 4-0 ROONEY, MATA WATUPIA
Like the man
said, he’s not finished yet. Not by a long way. Not when the fire still
burns deep within to do what he does best and confound his critics.
On Friday morning, Wayne Rooney is out on his own as Manchester United’s record scorer in Europe.
That
goal No.39 came in a comfortable Europa League win over Feyenoord in
front of a relatively modest Old Trafford crowd of 64,628, a dozen years
after that memorable Champions League hat-trick against Fenerbahce,
matters not one jot.
