Neville: No Rooney. No Man Utd

Manchester United captain Gary Neville admits they're leaning heavily on Wayne Rooney this season. Rooney has shouldered the goalscoring burden for the Red Devils so far this term, netting 15 in 23 starts, following the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo during the summer.

"Wayne is someone we will rely on in these crucial months," he said in the Daily Mirror. "Wayne wins matches for us.

"His goalscoring record in the Premier League is excellent. He fights for the ball, works hard, and has fitted well into the team."
