Man Utd boss Ferguson: Rooney thriving in senior leadership role

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson is excited by what he is seeing from Wayne Rooney this season.

Ferguson ­believes he is ­relishing his position of seniority.

"The evidence is always on the pitch and Wayne is showing maturity in his games."

Less obvious to ­Ferguson is the Chelsea line-up.

"I'm interested in what their team is going to be ­because they've got a lot of ­options.

"This is an important match, as is City in October.

"But I'd rather lose to them and win every other game.

"All you want is to win the League and I still think that 83 points will win it."
