Roo delighted to play his part

Wayne Rooney was delighted to come off the bench to seal Manchester United’s Carling Cup final win over Aston Villa on Sunday. The red-hot striker replaced an injured Michael Owen after 41 minutes and then struck with a perfectly weighted header with 15 minutes of the match remaining to seal the club’s first trophy of the season. "I was delighted to come off the bench and get the winner,” said Rooney afterwards. "Michael had scored with a great finish and it was unfortunate for him to come off injured. I wanted to play although I have had a bit of a sore knee. I've had a problem for a couple of weeks and I thought about coming off today.” Rooney has now scored 28 goals this season, 20 in his last 20 games!
