Wayne Rooney may be a legend to some already, but on paper and in the history books he is overshadowed by names such as Ryan Giggs, Bobby Charlton, Jack Rowley and George Best.

Giggs, 34, is the most decorated player in the Premier League's history and tops the club's appearance charts having played in an amazing 816 (and counting) matches for the club in a career spanning nearly 20 years.

United have once again been linked with January moves for Valencia's star men, David Villa and David Silva. The future of both Spanish Internationals was the focus of much media attention over the summer with Barcelona, Real Madrid and Liverpool keeping tabs on the situation to name but a few.

Valencia managed to hold on to their prized assets in the summer but as their financial troubles show no sign of letting up, it looks increasingly likely they will lose one if not both in the winter.

Yes the ref was lousy, but don't let that mask what was a terrible performance across the pitch by what could only bee described as a toothless United team at Anfield on Sunday. The final score of 2 – 0 didn't flatter the home team as they notched up their third win in a row between the local rivals.

Antonio Valencia's impact on the team has hardly been spectacular since his £16 million summer move from Wigan. But what a difference a goal can make. Well, two actually, and in back to back games to boot.

Goals breed confidence, and if Valencia is short of a little confidence, his latest performances in a United shirt will go some way to building it up.

Following Manchester United's 1-0 win over CSKA Moscow, Alex Ferguson took time to single out the opposition's goalkeeper; remarking that the 23 Russian shot stopper was ‘outstanding'.

I'm not sure if Ferguson saw something I didn't but over the course of the ninety minutes, it seems staggering that the young goalkeeper deserved such high praise.

The problem is, as been stated many times, respect is a two way thing. You cannot simply demand respect and show contempt at the same time.

Alex Ferguson has issued an apology over comments made about Alan Wiley's fitness following United's disappointing 2-2 draw with Sunderland.

United salvaged a point from the match thanks to an injury time own goal from Anton Ferdinand but rather than point the spotlight at his own players, Ferguson let rip at Alan Wiley claiming he was ‘unfit' and questioned the referee's timekeeping.
