Roo will get full backing

WAYNE Rooney’s central role in so many Manchester United glory nights will ensure he continues to receive the full backing of the club’s supporters should he remain at Old Trafford.

That is the view of skipper Nemanja Vidic, who was not in the least bit surprised at the ovation Rooney received during Monday night’s draw with Chelsea.

It may have been slightly odd that the visiting supporters were also singing Rooney’s name.

But having ruled out the possibility of handing in an official transfer request, it now seems increasingly likely the 27 year old will remain at United at least until January.

“He has scored so many goals and won so many trophies. I expected him to receive a good reception,” said Vidic.
