Wayne Rooney signs a four year contract extension with Manchester United

Wayne Rooney celebrated his new contract extension after a brilliant volley against Crystal Palace last night. United picked up their first away win of 2014 with goals from Van Persie and Wayne Rooney. Rooney is now fourth on the all time goal scorers list, 42 behind the club legend Sir Bobby Charlton who is leading the chart with 249 goals. Rooney, who has 151 goals from 300 league matches, will go on to become the club ambassador after his retirement as per the terms in his new deal signed recently. 

As per the terms in the new five-and-a-half year contract he will be paid £300,000-a-week and will remain in the No 10 shirt making him the highest paid player ever at United.

Rooney after their 2-0 victory over Crystal Palace

United were keen on keeping their best players at the club extending the contracts of Januzaj last October and now Rooney this February. David Moyes responded after their 2-0 victory "We thoroughly deserved it. Wayne's finish was exquisite". He also added saying "We're building a new team and the best players will stay".

According to the Sun "United are convinced that have won the £25 million battle for Germany’s Ilkay Gündogan." which also heated up the chances of Kroos joining United as Moyes himself scouted him during Bayern's 2-0 Champions League victory over Arsenal at Emirates this mid-week.

Moyes also added saying "I can't tell you the amount of phone calls I've had from top players around the world who want to play for Manchester United." and with big names already being linked with United we can expect some new faces this summer at Old Trafford.

Manchester United transfer news: Moyes keen on Juan Mata

Juan Mata is growing increasingly frustrated with him not being able to break into the Mourinho's squad at Chelsea.This could probably open the doors for Manchester United who badly need creativity in the mid-field.The defending champions have registered their first win in 2014 over Swansea last Saturday and Moyes is looking forward to add to his squad before the end of this January. However, the sources claim that United are ready to make a £27m bid for the Spaniard with Bayern Munich also in the race.

Moyes was seen scouting Davide Astori and Arturo Vidal this Sunday and was also interested to bring back Paul Pogba from Juventus. He also got concerns with captain Nemanja Vidic who runs out of contract at the end of the season along with Patrice Evra and Rio Ferdinand. Evra has already confirmed that he would not be ending his career at Old Trafford due to personal reasons. United look out for a quick replacement in Luke Shaw or Leighton Baines which have not been any success so far.

United are also showing interest to bring the wonder-kid Ever Banega to the Premier League.Barcelona's boss commented ahead of their Copa del Rey semi-final clash against Valencia, "He is a fantastic player, really have to concentrate in order to limit Banega's effectiveness".

All eyes on Rooney as its Manchester United vs Chelsea

With just into its second week of the new season, Premier League witnesses the greatest of the rivals, Manchester United and Chelsea taking on each other this Tuesday. Both the teams have new set of managing personnel with Sir Alex Ferguson announcing his retirement in May and handing over the responsibilities to his fellow countrymen David Moyes. Chelsea on the other hand welcome their most successful manager, Jose Mourinho who marks his second coming and promises to be a historical one this time.

With new additions, both teams need to prove their worth in what seems to be a new era for the two giant football clubs. Chelsea has signed Andre Schurrle, Marco van Ginkel and Mark Schwarzer this summer along with Lukaku who returned from his loan move to West Brom last season. He was amongst the goals, scoring 17 for them for Baggies last season. United have signed only one player Varela, a right full back along with Zaha who returned from Crystal Palace to which he was loaned to in January.

Both the clubs need to settle terms with Wayne Rooney, who probably wanted a move to Chelsea at the start of this season. There were rumors that the England striker requested for a transfer and was expecting to leave Old Trafford in early May itself. But Moyes dismissed the claims and answered the press saying "Rooney is not for Sale". Chelsea have already submited two bids for Rooney under £25 million mark which were rejected by United and have already sent a letter to Chelsea not to bid for the England International as he's not for sale.

With a score to settle on  and off the pitch as well Moyes has a challenge going into this game. With injuries to Hernandez, Nani, Young and Rafael, Moyes needs to look up to his young-guns to fire. Moyes played Rooney in the second half against Swansea in which he created two goals for the Red Devils which marked their first win of the new era under David Moyes. All eyes will be on Moyes and Rooney whether he'll make Rooney start or even play against the club to which the striker wants to move to.

All in all this one will be an exciting one for the fans.

Manchester United keen on signing Julian Draxler

Manchester United are keen to sign their possible target Julian Draxler this summer. The German playmaker currently plays for Schalke who already scored 10 goals and made 5 assists so far this season. He plays in an attacking mid-field role and already has 3 International appearances for Germany.

The 19 year-old German International is the youngest player to complete 100 competitive appearances, who started his career at 17 and started netting the same year. This lad is regarded as the next greatest playermaker for Germany.

Chelsea are also in the race to sign this youngster but as per the Schalke's general manager Horst Heldt, who dismissed a possible switch saying "We want to keep him at our club as long as possible. Its our obligation to ensure he feels fine being with us."

Rooney set to leave United

Wayne Rooney is all set to leave Manchester United at the end of this season. This speculation broke out when he was dropped for their second leg Champions League tie against Real Madrid at Old Trafford. Rooney only came on in the second half when United were down to ten men. Sir Alex Ferguson preferred Danny Welback, who scored the all important away goal in the first leg.

Van Persie who replaced Rooney as United's top scorer this season has adopted well to United's style of play, which led Rooney to the bench at Old Trafford.

United are listening to offers of £25 million for the England star and is expected to end his nine year stay at Old Trafford.

Real Madrid, Barcelona, Manchester City, Chelsea and PSG are set to bid out for the England International.

Cristiano Ronaldo vs Nani, Champions League

The first leg of the massive tie between Manchester United and Real Madrid in the Champions League may have ended in a 1-1 draw, but brought out the best in their respective teams.

Cristiano Ronaldo flew past Rafael and he couldn't mark the former United star, Rooney who played on the right wing was also trying to mark Ronaldo. And it was clear that if Ronaldo couldn't be stopped in the second leg, United would be out of the competition.

With all possible calculations, Ferguson will put out a team which can only defend well. May be, with five in the mid-field and surely Rafael not playing.

Another choice would be to attack, with the player similar to Ronaldo and who performed better for United in their first 100 matches than CR7, Nani.

Nani was out with an injury and had bad experiences recently when an unnoticed police car hit his Bentley, the case is still in investigation. He was back for United in their FA Cup match against Reading where he scored one and assisted another.

Sir Alex said "We all know he's a fantastic talent, and he was right on the form from the first moment he went. If he keeps the form up it makes my job of selection more difficult."

He will come on to play at sometime in the second leg when United face Real Madrid at Old Trafford, he has the talent to move and have the same presence as Ronaldo had in the first leg.

His record when compared with Ronaldo is better and impressive. Nani will look to perform better than his captain when they meet in the second leg of the round of 16 Champions League tie.

Mourinho, whose team in third, in La Liga is looking forward for this amazing game of football and he said "Its a game everyone waited for."

This would be an important game for Christiano Ronaldo, who was at United for six years and then moved to Madrid for a £80 million record transfer in 2009. He is all set to face his older club and said "It'll be a match in which I will feel a lot. I was there for 6 yrs & I've lots of friend. It'll be a match with a lot of emotion." 

He also added  "For me Sir Alex is one of the most important people in football. I've an excellent relationship & it'll be nice to see him again."

Ferguson on Ronaldo,  "Ronaldo is the one I worry about, but you can't dismiss they have a good team and good players in other positions."

The second leg will be played in Old Trafford on the 5th of March 2013.

Manchester United to seal Wilfried Zaha's move to Old Trafford

Manchester United have successfully agreed terms with Crystal Palace for their targeted winger Wilfried Zaha for a move worth £15 million. Arsenal and Spurs who were also in the race for signing the England International have failed in capturing the youngster whose value picked up from £10 million to £15 million depending on the players success at his current club.

Zaha, 20 will be undergoing a medical at Old Trafford in the next 48 hours for an agreed fee. He will be loaned back to Crystal Palace where he would be completing the rest of the season. He will be joining Sir Alex's squad only when the next season begins.

Zaha may be the possible replacement for Nani who has been finding the difficulty to make it to the starting eleven at Old Trafford. Arsenal have already shown interest in the Portuguese winger with their bid of £20 million.

Manchester United wants to land Celtic star Wanyama

Manchester United are set to make a £10 million bid for the Celtic midfielder Victor Wanyama. Sir Alex is interested in the youngster and checked him out in every match Celtic played in the Champions League.

With Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes set to retire, Fergie believes that Wanyama is the man to resolve his midfield issues at Old Trafford.

Wanyama is a defensive midfielder who can also play as a center back. He also contributes in terms of  goal when he scored in their impressive home win over Barcelona in the Champions League.

Ferguson will face stiff competition from Arsene Wenger who believes that he'll be the next Alex Song at Arsenal.

Wanyama reportedly rejected a new contract at Celtic where he spend 2 seasons, a signing from Beerschot for £900,000 in 2011.
