Judas does well for the Devils

Wayne Rooney launched himself into the footballing stratosphere with a debut hat-trick for Manchester United in a 6-2 victory over Fenerbahce at Old Trafford.On this evidence, Sir Alex Ferguson would have made a wise investment if he had spent the next two years' transfer budget on the 18-year-old, instead of the bargain £27million which prised him from Everton last month.

Never, in all the years of this illustrious club, can any one player have made such a startling start to their career.

Two brutal first-half efforts were followed by an incredible Beckham TM free-kick seven minutes after the break to ensure Rooney left the Theatre of Dreams with a match ball, a place in history and the adoring chants of 60,000 voices ringing in his ears.


17th minute- Thumping finish from Rooney, top stuff. He ran onto the through-ball and powered the ball into the roof of the net from just inside the area. No chance Rustu, 2-0 United..

28th minute- Another special goal from a special player. He drew Umit into the challenge, which created the space and he had no hesitation in firing the ball into the bottom corner of Rustu's net like an arrow. Absolutely superb

54th minute- Unbelievable stuff. Rooney does his impression of David Beckham to curl a free-kick into the top left-hand corner of the net. 4-1 United, Rooney an instant hero

81st minute- Bellion remained calm to latch on to Rooney's fine flicked header to send him through, he closed in on goal and slotted in from the angle. And that's number 6


"It was an outstanding debut, It is something you dream of as a manager for a player to play in this way and to score in this way in his first game. If he does that, it makes you very happy and you're a very lucky manager. Rooney is still very young and maybe he will become the player of the century. He is at the beginning now though." Fenerbahce coach Christoph Daum shrugged off the defeat to pay tribute to Rooney.

So Shan and all those Manu fans out there, so tell me is £28m really that much or is it simply a fucking bargain?!!

I watched the highlights on the tv. I honestly thought that after watching player after player leave Goodison, Rooney would be just another one and with the club doing pretty well, I thought i'd be over the whole sad and sorry saga and forget about him. How wrong was I...

When he scored, there was none of the delight he showed when he scored for us. Does that prove the kid really has no soul or does it prove that despite getting everything he claimed he wanted, he’ll never love playing for a club as much as he loved playing for Everton? Whatever the reason is, it matters no more.

Right now I just feel numb..
Your once a blue, always a blue..Only time will judge that..
