Papers: Wazza's key game
Gunners Fired Roo To Victory
Wayne Rooney has thanked Arsenal for helping him win the Premiership. Rooney, 21, was Manchester United’s joint-top goalscorer as he claimed his first title medal. He pinpointed many key games during the campaign including back-to-back late wins over Fulham and Liverpool in February and March. But Rooney believes it was the 1-0 home defeat to the Gunners on September 17 that spurred them on to glory. The striker told Inside United: “The Liverpool away match was a really big result for us. We didn’t play all that well but to steal the winner at the end was a great feeling. Everyone was buzzing after that. Fulham was a big game as well - another late win! The fact that they came close together made it even better. Sometimes those games where you win it late on are the best because you’re not expecting it. But one result that stands out in my mind is losing to Arsenal at home in September. We went on a brilliant run of wins after that.”

Alan Smith admits he would love to stay at United, but calls for clarification over his future amid rumours of interest from other Premiership clubs.
All the tabloids run quotes from Inside United's exclusive interview with Ryan Giggs, in which the nine-time title winner voices his desire to clinch a tenth Premiership next season.
Kieran Richardson denies claims he disrespected England U21 manager Stuart Pearce. The United winger returned to the dressing room following his substitution during Monday's draw with the Czech Republic, but insists he was merely heading for treatment on a back injury. -

i think it's not all up to them. the respective managers may have given them more specific instructions and thus reined in their attacking instincts. of course we all like to watch a final where both teams go for it with all the flair in the world when attacking, but to do so would leave space that opposing teams can exploit.Originally posted by lpx88:I think they are sorta afraid to let loose and create havoc for the opposing team?
besides, after two disappointing FA cup final defeats in which we were clearly the better side, i'd rather see United struggle and win than to play well and lose.
