Re: Your favourite player
They are prepping Smith to be the future Keane...
After hearing about what he's done for our national team as far as determination...I can agree.
He didn't ask to play against the United States in a friendly...He demanded Sven include him.

Re: Your favourite player
Rossi is slowly climbing up my list of favourite players. He gets up everytime a defender brings him down and his technical abilities are awesome. A left legged player which United will surely need and many have siad that he's a future star. BUT i reckon he's gonna be a star before the end of the season. Go on Rossi!!!

Re: Your favourite player
My favourite Man U player at the moment is Christiano Ronaldo, he is so fats and has really good balls skills not to mention a really good shot.
My favourite Man U player ever is Eric Cantona.
My favourite player out of every player there is probably Niko Kranjcar, Dado Prso or Christiano Ronaldo, follwed closely by Ryan Gigs, Adriy Shevchenko and Ivan Klasnic, Marko Babic, Van Der Sar and Didier Drogba.
LOL i got a long list, sorry...

Re: Your favourite player
Wayne Mark Rooney (born October 24, 1985, Liverpool, Merseyside, England) is widely considered to be one of the leading young talents in world football. In September 2005 he was selected by his fellow professionals as the inaugural FIFPro World Young Player of the Year. He currently plays for Manchester United and the England national football team as a second striker, although the 2005/06 season has seen Rooney playing both centrally and on the left and right flanks. He wears the number 8 shirt for his club, vacated by Nicky Butt, and is generally given the number 9 for his country.
Rooney was brought up in a suburb of eastern Liverpool called Croxteth, where he and his two brothers attended De La Salle School.
Although he has been under an intense media spotlight since first arriving on the scene in 2002, it was not until his performances at the Euro 2004 that he gained a reputation on the world stage, as he spearheaded the English attack, scoring 4 goals - England coach Sven-Goran Eriksson compared his impact to that made by the legendary Brazilian Pelé at a similar age during the 1958 World Cup. Other commentators have compared him to Manchester United legends Duncan Edwards and Eric Cantona and former Argentine star Diego Maradona.
He is currently the youngest player ever to play for the senior England team, making his debut on February 12, 2003, aged 17 years, 111 days. England's youngest ever player previous to this was James F. M. Prinsep of Clapham Rovers, who made his debut almost one and a quarter centuries before, on April 5, 1879, aged 17 years, 253 days. Rooney is also the youngest England scorer ever (17 years, 317 days).
Contents
Rooney gained national prominence in October 2002 when he became the youngest goal scorer in the history of the Premiership at 16 years and 360 days of age, while playing for Everton. His spectacular goal was a last-minute winner against the then-League champions Arsenal that consigned them to their first league defeat in almost a year. Coincidentally, Wayne Rooney also played a huge role in ending Arsenal's record unbeaten run, winning a penalty and scoring the second goal, in Manchester United's 2-0 victory over Arsenal in October 2004 - Arsenal's first Premiership defeat in 50 games. At the end of 2002 he won the BBC Sports Personality of the Year Young Personality award.
Just think to yourself, how can't you like him
