Rooney tipped for a goal rush

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has tipped Wayne Rooney to score more goals in the coming games to help Utd to more victories in their chase for 'double' glory. Rooney ended his goal drought with a brace in the 4-0 victory over Aston Villa.

Ferguson said: "I thought Wayne was never going to score, to be honest.

"But he is the kind of striker who could go on a run now and get goals in his next six or seven matches.

"We displayed some great attacking movements, and you have to admire the players' enthusiasm in difficult conditions.

"It has to be one of our best performances of the season and just what was needed after Arsenal's victory.

"We have six games to go, four of them away, and it will be nip and tuck. But we are playing well and have improved our goal difference."
