Rooney denies ankle injury claim

 

Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney has contradicted club manager Sir Alex Ferguson by claiming he has not had an ankle injury this season.

 

Ferguson took Rooney off during last month's 2-2 draw at Bolton and left him out of games at Valencia and Sunderland citing an injury to the 24-year-old.

 

However, Rooney played in England's 0-0 draw against Montenegro on Tuesday.

 

"No, I've had no ankle problem all season," said Rooney when asked about his problems on the fitness front.

 

He was then asked as to why Ferguson had said he had an injury, Rooney replied: "I don't know."

 

Uh-oh. :iamatwat:

Didn't he have an ice-pack on his ankle when he got took off earlier this season?

 

Rooney was replaced by Federico Macheda in the 61st minute, although the former Everton striker had an ice pack applied to his ankle soon after his substitution.

Big Mal - Former Man Cty manager Malcolm Allison has died,

 

Malcolm Allison, the coach who helped inspire Manchester City to great success in the late 1960s, has died at the age of 83.

 

Allison arrived at City in 1965 as assistant manager to Joe Mercer.

 

City went on to win the Second Division crown in 1966, the League title in 1968, FA Cup in 1969 and European Cup-Winners Cup and League Cup in 1970.

 

Allison managed 11 clubs at home and abroad, leading Sporting Lisbon to the Portuguese League and Cup in 1982.

 

He took charge of Crystal Palace on two separate occasions, and also had spells as manager of Bath, Plymouth, Galatasaray, Toronto City, Middlesbrough and Bristol Rovers.

 

During his playing days, Allison made more than 250 appearances at centre half for West Ham, before losing a lung as the result of tuberculosis in 1958.

 

"Big Mal" - as he was known - always had an eye for publicity, and was famed for the "Lucky Fedora" he wore during one of Crystal Palace's Cup runs and his love of cigars - but his later years were dogged by ill health.

Wolves would be mental if they fired McCarthy, but that's the plight of the manager in the top flight now. Instant results or out.

Can't blame people for thinking that, he's got what will effectively be the top 4 this season in Arsenal, Man U, Chelsea and Man City in his next 4 games, and they're already in the bottom 3 with 6 points.. At least we know we won't be bottom come a month's time!

Before Spurs spend any more money they should go all out for somebody like Cahill. Brilliant player would drastically improve their side.

 

A mate of mine went school with Phil Jones and is mates with him, i said to him we(Arsenal) should look at him but said he doubts he will leave Blackburn any time soon, was a season ticket holder and is a massive fan.

There's more to this Rooney stuff than just an rumour being printed, something isn't right with him or at MUFC in general.
