Wayne Rooney: The Inspiration of Manchester United

You may find out Cristiano Ronaldo, Carlos Tevez playing an important role behind Manchester United’s campaign to defend the title. However, the statistics show that English striker Wayne Rooney has also had an effective role behind Manchester United’s success to come to reach the present position in the league. Cristiano Ronaldo missed all of the four matches that Manchester United was defeated in premier league. Rooney fall in injury for a number of times this season since his first injury hit in the first match of season. Rooney missed 11 matches for Manchester United. During this games, Manchester United scored a goal per match, while they have had 57 goals in 23 other games.

Goal.com reported:

In Wayne Rooney, Manchester United can point to the source of their inspiration, and the heartbeat of the side. This state of affairs has seen the fiery Liverpudlian play just as big a role as the Red Devils flying winger in shaping United’s results, even though he has scored fewer than of Ronaldo's goals.

Rooney's impact can also be measured by the fact that during the 11 games that he has managed to miss this season, United have averaged only a paltry goal a game. When contrasted to the 57 goals in 23 games that a Rooney inspired Manchester United have scored, the difference is clear for all to see.

It is true that Manchester United has seen more goals from Ronaldo than from Rooney, but it is for sure that Rooney has grown to become an inspirational character of Manchester United. He has made a lethal combination with Carlos Tevez in the up front of Manchester United. So, a Rooney inspired Manchester United might be able to bounce back from their patchy recent form.
