Rooney: More to Man Utd than just me

Wayne Rooney insists Manchester United are not a one-man team. Rooney took his personal tally to 21 on Wednesday with the derby winner against Manchester City that booked a Carling Cup final date with Aston Villa at Wembley.

That followed all four United goals against Hull on Saturday.

But despite his fantastic efforts, the England hitman told The Sun: "Don't look on us as a one-man team or see it as a great burden on me, it's nonsense.

"If I don't get the service, I can't score. If I don't, I expect others to and we've done that well.

"We've shared the goals out well and it's certainly not just about me. We expect to win as a team, not as individuals."
