Red Devil Rooney Helps Kick Off The Quest For The Fourth Title!

Man-U's season got off on the right "foot" for the opening of the Premiereship season with a 1 nil victory over Birmingham. The quest is officially on for an unprecedented 4th consecutive title.

Fergie, for one, was happy to see of the Blues (click here for Sky Sports article).

"I think we did enough. We had clear possession of the ball, we had some good
opportunities, played some good football at times and, generally, I'm satisfied
with the result."

AlexMcLeish highlighted his thinking of the resemblance of Rooney to the likes of Figo and Zizou on Fox Sports.

"You can do one or two things in terms of the shape of the team but when he
drops into those little pockets, he is hard to pin down."

Sky Sports also reported: "Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney has been told to stay central and not drift around in search of the ball."

However, Rooney could not resist the temptation to move out to wide areas at
times and assistant manager Mike
Phelan has reminded him he can do more damage from a central position.
