Alex: we can rule with Rooney
Rooney’s arrival has given United a major lift after a stuttering start to the season that has seen them pick up just five points from their opening four games in the Premiership and fall badly adrift of pace setters Arsenal and Chelsea.
Yet Ferguson, who still has Ruud van Nistelrooy to come back from injury and Rio Ferdinand to return from suspension, remains as steadfast in the belief of his team as he was when they launched their decade-long domination of the English game in 1992.
