Red Devils take on quick-fire competition

What do we learn from this?
1. Ryan Giggs is still the master.

Green and gold til you’re on the dole

Top five Carling Cup final conclusions

Rob Parker | March 1, 2010

1. Wayne Rooney’s knee flu sounds really nasty. I’m sure Sir Alex Ferguson has a sneaky plan afoot, I just don’t know what it is yet (except that it probably involves Rooney not playing for England).
2. Wayne Rooney’s head is quite incredible. Peter Crouch must be fearing that his uses in the England squad are [...]
