Wayne Rooney
One of the most promising talents in the Premiership today, it’s hard to remember that Rooney is just 21 and already carries the striking burden for Manchester United and England.

Uninspired England Fire Blanks Against Montenegro: The Player Ratings
Both England and Montenegro saw their flawless winning starts to their respective Euro 2012 qualifying campaigns ended at Wembley last night, with a resolutely sterile stalemate ensuring that neither side deserved to leave with the spoils.

Euro 2012 Qualifiers: The Ones To Watch
I must admit that there was a time, not so very long ago, when I used to feel a creeping sense of boredom during international breaks. In my heart of hearts I knew that I should be grateful for the fact that football was available for easy consumption at all, but after many-a-year of increasing…
How Wayne Rooney Shed £12m In One Easy Step
Given his recent extra-marital misdemeanours, it should come as little surprise that Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney‘s intrinsic commercial value has – if you’ll excuse the unavoidable pun – waned of late.

Is Wayne Rooney Really Finished?
For better or worse, the planets seem to be fatefully aligning at Manchester United of late – at least in terms of their striking options.
