Rooney: Nike boots not the problem

Filed Under England, Man Utd | Leave a Comment

Rooney is sure that his metatarsal injuries are not down to his Nike football boots.

“What has happened to me is just one of those things.”

“In our game, you can get defenders stamping on your feet and, unfortunately for me, it has happened three times and I have broken something three times.”

“I know there has been a lot of talk about the boots. A lot of professionals who played the game years ago have been talking about them.” “They are not running out in the boots, they do not know what they are like.”

Coventry won 2-0 against the united youngsters last night at Old Trafford, knocking them out of the Carling Cup. Sir Alex Ferguson was left “flabbergasted” by his young side’s performance.

Ferguson said: “I did not expect that at all. I am not interested in giving reasons or mitigating circumstances.”

“We have trumpeted these young lads a lot, so what has happened tonight was a big shock for us all.”

“We didn’t cope with the battle at all - it was just a very bad performance.”

Rooney likely to have different strike partner

Filed Under England | Leave a Comment

England’s bad luck with injuries continues as it looks like Michael Owen could be out for up to 2 months. Owen will undergo groin surgery on Friday after he was substituted for Newcastle with his continuing hernia problem.

This means that the England front two will again be different from the last 2 qualifiers. England always seem to have the problem of unfit/suspended strikers when it comes to their games.

It looks like Maclaren will have to select another strike partner for Rooney who only sealed his place due to Heskey’s injury.
It may be that Maclaren decides to try and fit Lampard back into the side, but considering how well the formation and players performed in the last 2 games, I think that is unwise.
