Fergie: Rooney could be a bigger star then Ronaldo

Filed Under Man Utd | 1 Comment

In an interview, Sir Alex Ferguson admits that Rooney has a lot more potential then he have been able to show so far:

“Sometimes he’s too much of a team player, not a selfish player, not a selfish boy.

“He’s a committed winner. That’s his problem. So he does a lot of sacrifice which doesn’t reflect on his overall performance but as a team player he’s absolutely fantastic.

“He says to me sometimes ‘I can play centre-half’. He’s said that half a dozen times to me - ‘I’ll play centrehalf.

I played centre-half at school you know!’ “Then I say to him, ‘Yes Wayne, but we’re playing against Drogba!’ It’s not a trouble or a problem with him, it’s a fantastic asset he’s got.

rooney1.jpgRooney has revealed that wearing the number 10 shirt at Utd is spurring him forward to be like the previous “number 10 greats”.
These include Denis Law, Mark Hughes and Ruud van Nistelrooy.

“They were all greats who scored so many goals for the club so I knew what a big number it was for me,” he said.

“But that history makes wearing the shirt feel even better and also makes it more of a challenge to succeed.”

“When Ruud left and no one took it the following season I asked if I could have the shirt. I had to wait a year until the new kit came out but as soon as that happened I was given it, which was great.”
