Rooney's Dream Debut

Wayne Rooney kickstarted his Manchester United career with an incredible hat-trick as he demolished Fenerbahce in Tuesday's Champions League clash.



Ferguson said: "I think this is probably the strongest squad I have had.

"That's why we signed him as he's got great potential. But I would rather talk about the game to be honest. He is only 18 and a young boy, don't forget."

"He obviously tired in the last 20 minutes, but given that it was his first game since the European Championships you could expect that," he said."

"The important thing for me as a coach is to allow the boy to develop naturally without too much public attention. I want him to be as ordinary as he can."

"We have managed to combine the team of the past with younger players who are going to get better. This team can develop over the next three years."
