Rooney back in the groove

AMONG the many banners on the Stretford End the small one that says ‘Not arrogant, just better’ is looking more and more like summing it all up as Manchester United further underlined their dominance of the title race with Wayne Rooney looking back on song last night.

Some may argue about the arrogant bit but with each passing week there is more evidence that they are indeed better, although their lead at the top remains at five points after Arsenal came from behind to beat Everton.

Rooney’s two goals put them ahead at half time, Darren Bent pulled one back before Nemanja Vidic curled in a powerful effort five minutes later to put United back in charge.
