| Rooney lavishes praise on team mates Posted: 01 Dec 2009 04:21 AM PST Antonio Valencia and Ryan Giggs are playing pivotal roles in helping Manchester United win another Premier League title, according to Wayne Rooney.
The England striker spoke to MUTV after his side's 4-1 win over Portsmouth on Saturday, a game in which Rooney grabbed himself a hat-trick, but it was the performance of 36-year-old Giggs which stole the headlines.
Rooney described his team mate as "amazing" and said it was a privilege to play with Giggs, who has played over 550 times for United and won 11 top division titles during his career.
"He plays more like a 26-year-old; he's up and down, he's everywhere. It's great for him to get his 100th Premier League goal. I didn't know (about the record) until after the game, but I'm delighted for him," said Rooney.
The forward was also quick to praise the contribution which summer signing Valencia has made since arriving from Wigan.
He described the Ecuadorian international as a big, strong and quick player who is looking a real threat as United seek glory in both the Premier League and Champions League.
Manchester United are currently sat second in the Premier League, five points behind leaders Chelsea, and travel to East London for a game against West Ham next weekend.
Before that, they have a home Carling Cup quarter-final tie against Tottenham on Tuesday night.  |
