Rooney 'Goal of the Season' - West Ham United

A great display from the team again today, some thought with the injury blow to RVP that United may return to the past poor performances of the season.

Some however including me hoped it would persuade Moyes to tinker some more with the lineup, pushing Rooney into the Strikers position this freeing the no10 for Mata.

Moyes actually went further and included Kagawa too in the 3 behind Rooney, the interchange worked very well, fluid movement and counter attacking was reminiscent of Utd from past years.

The game itself started in the best possible way, early chances flooded in before Rooney scored what many were calling the 'goal of the season'.

With the goal reminding so many of the famous Beckham goal against Wimbledon, how fitting was it be was in the crowd today, cameras caught his reaction to Rooney's goal.

Rooney went on to grab a 2nd goal, he didn't know quite a much about this one, with the ball smashing in of his legs from the defender's clearance, but he was in the right place at the right time.

Overall a pleasing performance, a clean sheet as a bonus too which was made even more impressive with the current lack of defender's United have available, underlined with Carrick playing as CB today

We're Man United, We'll do what we want' chanted by injured United defender Chris Smalling after he left bar at 3am

Crocked United star Chris Smalling left a bar at 3.15am today singing: “We’re Man United - we’ll do what we want!”

As his team-mates were tucked up in bed and getting some rest ahead of another crunch game, the 24-year-old defender was spotted coming out of a bar in Manchester’s Spinningfield district early on Saturday.


He showed no sign of the hamstring injury which has ruled him out for a month as he ran a short distance before getting a taxi, according to an eye-witness.

The player, who had clearly enjoyed his night, had been out with four friends including his brother.

Pictures show him with his arms outstretched as he and his pals sang one of United fans’ favourite songs: “We’ll do what we want. We’ll do what we want. We’re Man United. We’ll do what we want.”

His team-mates headed down to London on Friday to prepare for their Premier League match against West Ham tonight.

The eye-witness told the MEN: “He’d obviously had a great night with his mates. They were singing football songs.”

Earlier this week it was revealed he had suffered a hamstring injury and could be out of action for up to a month.

In January, Smalling apologised for his ‘insensitive’ decision to appear as a suicide bomber at a fancy-dress party.

He said at the time he was trying to make fun of the popular Jagerbomb drink by strapping bottles of Jagermeister and Red Bull to his body.

He had been pictured wearing an army-style vest decorated with booze bottles, a mock circuit board with cables attached as he wore what appeared to be an Arab head dress.
