Manchester United have had a successful pre-season in Asia, with the usual suspects shining and scoring goals. Wayne Rooney has been amongst these players, and Sir Alex Ferguson couldn’t speak more highly of him.
“He just loves football and loves training and he will be a big player next year, believe me,” Ferguson said.
“He will have a great season, because he’s had a proper pre-season for the first time with us. He will be fine.
“Nothing bothers Rooney. He is incredible, a very strong character.
“Wayne is exceptional. He gets up and is the first in the training ground every morning.
“We like the players to come in for breakfast and he is in at 8.45am, the first there. Unbelievable.”
