SAF: – Wayne Rooney can become captain of Man Utd
Sir Alex har tidligere hintet at Wayne kunne være uaktuell som kaptein rett og slett fordi han er spiss. Her er Fergie i ferd med å snu.
«You can see the qualities Wayne would bring to the captaincy,» sa Fergie. «His determination, his hunger and his desire to do well. He always tries, no matter how the team is playing. He always gives 100 per cent and these are wonderful qualities for a captain. He exemplifies the spirit of the whole team and other players can take that on board. So there are good reasons for making him captain.»
«I think Fabio Capello made him England captain against Brazil because Wayne was the one regular player left. That was the key to it.»
«But top players can take that responsibility. They’ve got their ego, reputation and pride to defend in that respect. As captain, you don’t want to let anyone down. And Wayne would be very much like that. «
«I’ve never been a real advocate of centre-forwards being captain, even though Eric Cantona did a fantastic job for us. You tend to look at central defenders, midfielders or even goalkeepers. But there was one game when we were short of Ryan Giggs, Gary Neville, Rio Ferdinand and Edwin Van Der Sar.»
«I was thinking of Wayne but I made John O’Shea captain, simply because of his longevity. He’s been with the club a long time and been a great servant. John’s a good type, captain material, which is why I chose him. But the next one in my mind in that game was Wayne.»
Sa Sir Alex.
I tillegg er Sir Alex forbannet på FA. Han mener Wayne Rooney eksponeres unødvendig mye for pressen, og at det kan legge mye press på unggutten.
«Every time England go on a trip, who goes on TV? Wayne Rooney, every blinking time,» brummet Ferguson.
«It must get boring asking the same player to do it every time. That is because they have sponsors. That is the FA, they love that kind of thing. But it is not fair on the player to continually have to do the press all the time. It is the same one all the time.»
Nå vil noen med rette hevde at Wayne Rooney har prestert fantastisk den siste tiden på landslaget…

Edvin for captain:
Edwin van der Sar never intended to play into his late 30s so cannot quite believe he could be at Manchester United beyond his 40th birthday.
