Record-man Rooney gives lift as Manchester United win big
Wayne Rooney
Manchester: Wayne Rooney became Manchester United’s top scorer in European competition, leading the English club to a 4-0 win over Feyenoord in the Europa League here. Rooney got the opening goal against the Dutch side at Old Trafford here on Thursday to score for the 39th time in Europe, matching Ruud van Nistelrooy’s club record, reports Xinhua.
He is now only one goal away from equalling Bobby Charlton’s all-time club scoring record of 249 goals after setting United on the way to victory. Further goals by Juan Mata, Jesse Lingard and a Brad Jones own-goal completed the win that left United in second place ahead of their final game at Zorya Luhansk.
United reached nine points and is only one point behind Group A leaders Fenerbahce, who defeated Ukraine’s Zorya Luhansk 2-0 in Turkey. Feyenoord has seven points. With this win, United need only a draw from their final Group A game away to Ukrainian side Zorya Luhansk in order to progress to the knockout phase, and Rooney called the night a positive one all-round for the team.

Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
