Manchester United boss Alex Ferguson believes red-hot striker Wayne Rooney can match the 42 goals that Cristiano Ronaldo provided for the Red Devils in 2008. Rooney scored two in United’s 4-0 Champions League win over AC Milan on Wednesday to take his goal tally to 30 this season. United won 7-2 on aggregate to reach the quarter-finals but there was no joy for big-spending Real Madrid who crashed out at the same stage to Lyon on a 1-2 aggregate. |
