Wayne Rools – Fergie

Sir Alex Ferguson has hailed Wayne Rooney’s class after he fired Manchester United into the final of the Carling Cup on Wednesday. The England striker popped up deep into stoppage time to head home a Ryan Giggs cross to break Manchester City hearts in the second-leg of the semi-final. Facing a 2-1 deficit from last week’s first-leg at Eastlands, United opened the scoring through Paul Scholes in the 52nd minute before Michael Carrick blasted home to put the Red Devils into the aggregate lead. City however bounced back with an excellent goal by Carlos Tevez to level matters before Rooney's injury-time heroics. "His control, his leading of the line, his penetration was absolutely fantastic," said Ferguson afterwards. "It was a wonderful performance, truly world class." Fergie also praised Darren Fletcher’s performance. "Darren was incredible, he was all over the place," added the Scot.
