The Red Devils sold the prolific Dutchman to Real Madrid in the summer and opted against signing a successor to van Nistelrooy. Gignac is rapidly gaining a reputation as one of France's best players and the Lorient striker outlined his vision for the future. "I won't tell you that I try to copy him, but I am a huge fan of the great Ruud van Nistelrooy," Gignac told skysports.com. "I appreciated this player a lot. My dream is to be just like him. "France and England are the places where I want to play football. "In The Premiership, they score so many goals, they play so quickly, with envy, it is a real show. "Replacing the great Ruud at Manchester United would be the bomb. Yes, wearing the number 10 at Old Trafford..." The 20-year-old has already received glowing praise from Raymond Domenech and Gignac was heartened by the France national team coach's comments. He added: "When Raymond Domenech declared I was a potential French international, I was really honoured. "There is nothing negative in it, I don't suffer any more pressure. On the contrary, it incites me to work more and to try to be the best. "I feel boosted, but I stay lucid. I know I still have a lot of work to do in order to become an international. "First, I have to fight to be part of my club's starting line-up and then, if Raymond Domenech calls me, it would be a bonus. "When my coach (Christian Gourcuff) told me about Domenech's compliments, I was so surprised. Then my friends and family have called me to confirm it." Gignac has scored three times in eight appearances for Lorient this season and he is relishing being able to learn from more experienced team-mates Steve Marlet and Fabrice Fiorese. "It is so good to train with aces like them," continued Gignac. "Playing with them daily is a fantastic opportunity to shine. "With Steve, we have played a couple of matches together and we are starting to find a real co-ordination. "I am sure the future will be great for our partnership."

The in-form Madeiran sparkled in the 3-0 win against Azerbaijan on Saturday, scoring twice to further enhance his record at international level. Coach Luiz Felipe Scolari has admitted he would be satisfied with a draw in Chorzow, using the metaphor of being happy with a two-bedroomed apartment if you cannot afford three bedrooms. However, Ronaldo is unwilling to adopt any defensive mentality. "I go out to play for the victory, and I think the team does as well," he told Maisfutebol. "Perhaps he wants to say that if we do not win, then we can collect points and this is what we are going to try to do. "We do not go there to get a draw, but to win. "We must do everything to win, knowing beforehand that Poland have a great team so we go there with much caution and a lot of respect, but always with the will to win." The 21-year-old was happy with his display at the weekend as he was substituted after running the show. "I want to give a similar exhibition or to improve still further because I can always improve things," he added. "With Poland, it will be completely different because they have a better team, with stronger players who are more experienced and play in better championships. "Hence, things becomes all the more difficult." Ronaldo is a regular scorer for his country and is showing signs of developing into a truly world-class player, providing he can maintain his consistency. "I don't think about records," he stressed. "I want to score goals, to play for my country but I try not to think about this - nor do I want to. "My objective is to play well, to help the team and know that I have done my best." Although admitting he would like to have another Portuguese player at Old Trafford, Ronaldo refused to comment on rumours linking Sporting's Nani with a move to United.' --------------------------------- [13] Gary Nev on Rooney --------------------------------- Posted Tuesday, October 10, 2006 by ed: "There was not a lot of space and service for Wayne to feed upon against Macedonia - but that will come. We need to improve on Wednesday in Croatia and get some better service into the front players and, with that better service, Crouchy and Wayne will do well. Wayne will come good. He is a fighter. He gives 100% every game. He's such an exciting player. Let's look forward to seeing him playing. That's the way I would always look at Wayne Rooney." --------------------------------- [12] James Lawton in Indy on Rooney --------------------------------- Posted Tuesday, October 10, 2006 by ed: 'As if Paul Gascoigne, the tragic Gazza, has any heartbreak to spare, he bestows what must be the last remnants of it on Wayne Rooney. This makes the worry first broached here two weeks ago official. The wunderkind is in some kind of trouble because if Gazza's chief current regret is indeed that he wasn't on the England bench to give Rooney a "cuddle" when he was hauled off the field at Old Trafford at the weekend, we have to accept that we are talking here about rather more than a mere fleeting slippage of form. The big question now - and sadly it is probably true that no former professional footballer on earth is so painfully ill-equipped as Gascoigne to provide the answer - concerns the nature of Rooney's problem. If it is purely football-related, and maybe inevitably we are now hearing the first whispers of doubt about this, it is certainly not easy to understand the decision of the England coach, Steve McClaren, to withdraw Rooney with 15 minutes to go against Macedonia. At every level of the game, there is no question about the circumstance a pro most hates. It is to be replaced when the action is unresolved. Rooney's face on Saturday was a picture of frustration and anger when he was forced to surrender his place to Jermain Defoe, but then such a deep-set expression has been in place for some time. McClaren had said that he was confident Rooney was about to explode, but the conviction had a short shelf-life indeed... just 75 minutes. It was replaced by confirmation that what we had was something more than the blip so airily designated by some of Rooney's senior team-mates. The player's apparent misery inspired McClaren to wrap his arm around the 20-year-old in training last week and tell him to "go out and enjoy himself". Gazza's intervention as a football agony aunt yesterday carried the headline: "Get the cheeky grin back, son." This isn't advice and guidance. It is wishful thinking and, that Gascoigne should be a part-author of it, only increased the poignancy of the situation for those who happened to be in the lobby of a hotel on Rome's Via Veneto the day - which followed months of doubts and agonising - when Gazza passed a pre-transfer fitness test conducted by Lazio. Gazza strode into the hotel, stopped to order a glass of champagne, and then marched on to the grand piano. He played with great gusto the opening bars of Happy Days are Here Again. They never were, never truly, and when this week he linked his own old problems with those of the most talented English player to emerge since he clattered off into a brief and self-destructive fragment of football history, it was as though flickerings of concern had been turned into a great weight of dread. Yes, the fear may be excessive, even disordered. Rooney may get the break here tomorrow against Croatia that in one surge of blood can banish a thousand doubts and quite as many demons. It would be entirely appropriate because it was of course against the Croats that Rooney gave us one dramatic measure of his brilliance in the European Championship group game in Lisbon two years ago, when on the ground where George Best gave undying evidence of his genius for Manchester United against Benfica, he destroyed all will to resist the range and the bite of his game. Rooney was astonishing that night. He ripped Croatia apart, he provided a goal for Paul Scholes which spoke of perfect teamwork - and how often have we said that of an England move in the last six years? - and long before the end of the game there was an irresistible belief that maybe this was a young player who could do anything he wanted, and perhaps even grow to football greatness without any of the pain that accompanied Best's accession to such status - and ultimately barred Gascoigne's way. We know better now, and maybe we should have suspected it even as the first tides of celebrity rolled in. There was a conviction then that appears more than a little naïve now. It was that Rooney was quite unlike Best and Gascoigne. He was more focused, more immersed in the challenge of football. He had won his boyhood sweetheart, and if she displayed a liking for the celebrity life and the shopping trips to New York which troubled some of those eager to easily compartmentalise the life of the great young star, Rooney's passion for football would conquer all. He might be obliged to celebrate his 18th birthday at Aintree Racecourse in the company of pop stars, he might be encouraged to tell an embryo of a life story for millions of pounds before his 20th birthday, but look at the relish he brought to the football field. Now his face suggests that playing football is just another torment, an impression that certainly brought more than a little touch of poignancy to Gazza's debut as a football adviser this week. Said Gascoigne: "Football was my escape. Whatever troubles I was experiencing, once I got out there with a ball at my feet the smile soon returned. Nobody could hurt me out there. I could express myself and I felt safe and happy." Gazza's conclusion is: "Wayne doesn't look happy and I just want to see him smiling again, looking like he is enjoying himself again. So my advice would be, 'get your head up, the form will come'." It never did for Gascoigne, of course, and the reasons are well documented and excruciatingly sad. No doubt he made his own problems and ignored some of the advice he now offers to Wayne Rooney, but there was no question that football and the wider world played its part. He was once advised, when the celebrities were still at his shoulder, that football wasn't like showbiz. It didn't do rehearsals. It was a challenge that came match by match, day by day, and in the end that broke, as it always would, a beautiful but fragile talent. The hope, maybe even the prayer, is that Rooney is indeed a sturdier figure. Here, certainly, it is something that dwarfs the meaning of a single match. It is, after all, about rather more than the course of sporting genius. It concerns the life of a brilliant but deeply troubled young man.' --------------------------------- [11] Subscribe by post, online or over the phone --------------------------------- Posted Tuesday, October 10, 2006 by ed: RN 128.

But as professional footballers, these are the sort of games you relish, just like the Germany game. I feel it brings the best out of me. At the moment, though, my focus has to be on Tuesday. Once that's over, I'll start thinking about Manchester United. We all know how important that game is, and what a shot in the arm a win would be.

We are under no illusions as to how tough it is going to be. The real test for this team and regime is when the games gets tougher and we have to go there with backs to the wall. The biggest tests have still to come. People mention the atmosphere but if you are good enough, you can play in any atmosphere - whether you are 19 or 29. The manager has picked 23 players in the squad and they are all good enough to play in Croatia. Manchester United played there in an early round of the Champions League a few years ago and people said it was going to be intimidating but I don't think these countries are as bad as people make them out to be. For me, is it as bad as going to Anfield or Elland Road? I would say no. Whatever people say about intimidating atmospheres, I am sure we've played in atmospheres more intimidating than going to Zagreb. I would say going to Anfield is one of the most intimidating atmospheres whether with Everton or Manchester United. It's probably worse when I've got my brother next to me on the pitch! Anfield is the best place to go and get a victory given the atmosphere but a win on Wednesday would also be very acceptable." --------------------------------- [7] Rio trains for England --------------------------------- Posted Tuesday, October 10, 2006 by ed: McClaren yesterday "Rio trained today and it's good to have him back with us.

(Eriksson) played him up front on his own and he so wanted to do well but was desperate. He was fighting like hell for the ball but they had two men on him and that was it, game over. Then he got sent off but that was just because he was fighting and running so much. Rooney was pulling his guts out for England.

They were talking about seeing if he can play. If he plays, he may miss the next three or four games for Liverpool, including Blackburn, the Champions League and Manchester United. When people talk about the national teams, no-one ever talks about the money they make, it's always about the pride of playing for your country. If Kuyt misses many games and Crouch gets injured, it means we may not win as many games as we would. Last season we had a situation where John Arne Riise was injured in a friendly for Norway and missed the Champions League game with Benfica. Where was our compensation? The national associations should pay. I believe they should pay 50% of a player's wage when they play for their country, and 100% if they are injured, for as long as they can't play a competitive game. As a manager, I would prefer to have Kuyt return fit than be compensated, but this is a big problem." --------------------------------- [3] Support Ian Botham's walk through Manchester tomorrow for charity --------------------------------- Posted Tuesday, October 10, 2006 by ed: Support Ian Botham's walk through Manchester tomorrow for charity http://www.bothamwalk.com/en/1/bothamwalk.html http://www.bothamwalk.com/en/1/bothamwalk.html --------------------------------- [2] Red News Back Issues...

Le Guen told Rangers World: "He has been troubled by this for three weeks after taking a knock on his knee and I am little bit worried by this. "Our doctor will work in conjunction with Manchester United." Rangers are already without injured wide players Chris Burke and Libor Sionko for the Uefa Cup group stage opener in Italy on 19 October. "Lee Martin has a problem with his knee, which is a bit worrying and it leaves us short of wingers," Le Guen told Rangers World. "It is bad luck, but we must keep our head up and keep working." --------------------------------- [21] Yorke's international retirement? --------------------------------- Posted Monday, October 9, 2006 by ed: from sportinglife 'Former Manchester United star Dwight Yorke could have played his last game for Trinidad and Tobago. The 34-year-old Sunderland striker is one of 13 players in dispute with the national federation over contractual obligations. Yorke, scored in Saturday's 5-0 victory over St Vincent/Grenadines, had earlier delivered a statement on behalf of the group. He said: "We, the players of the national team that participated in the World Cup 2006, would like to announce our consideration to retire from international football immediately after our next two games. "We all recognise the fact that retirement must come to us all, but certainly didn't anticipate this decision, especially following so hot on the heels of what has been our proudest and most memorable achievements in the game this summer." Yorke headed back to England yesterday after agreeing with Black Cats manager Roy Keane that he would not play in Wednesday's friendly against Panama ahead of the Coca-Cola Championship trip to Preston at the weekend.' --------------------------------- [20] Ronaldo's great disallowed goal from Sat --------------------------------- Posted Monday, October 9, 2006 by ed: see it at http://soccerlens.com/ronaldo-ronaldo-ronaldo/1439667.html http://soccerlens.com/ronaldo-ronaldo-ronaldo/1439667.html http://www.dpbolvw.net/click-2051413-5042808 Check http://www.rednews.co.uk to view the image which has been removed from plain text email version of news http://www.jdoqocy.com/click-2051413-10387791 Hotels in Manchester Check http://www.rednews.co.uk to view the image which has been removed from plain text email version of news --------------------------------- [19] Gazza in Daily Mail on Wazza --------------------------------- Posted Monday, October 9, 2006 by ed: 'It's been a few years since I was part of the England squad, but I wish I was with them now. Just so that I could give Wayne Rooney a cuddle. When he came off on Saturday, he sprinted over towards the bench and I'd have liked to have been there to throw my arms around him. I felt heartbroken for the lad. Football was my escape. Whatever troubles I was experiencing, once I got out there with a ball at my feet, the smile soon returned. Nobody could hurt me out there, I could express myself and I felt safe and happy. Wayne doesn't look happy and I just want to see him smiling again, looking like he's enjoying his football. My advice would be to 'get that cheeky grin back on your face, son, and get your head up, the form will come.' I remember the first time I saw him play. He was 14 and he was a sub for Everton Under 19s. They were losing 1-0, but he came on and scored twice. He has been destined to be this superman of a player since he was a schoolboy. His problem is that, like me, he wants to win every game, score every goal, ride every tackle. When it doesn't happen, it eats away at you. Not only do you need football, but you need to be playing well, too. I suspect the three-match ban given to him by the FA will have hurt. He wants to be loved and supported and he wasn't. He needs to get that out of his system, forget it. The country wants you to be the star of the show; it's horrible when the weight of the nation is on your shoulders and you feel like you are letting everyone down nobody feels it more than the player himself. Since Wayne was 14, he's been a matchwinner. For Everton's junior teams, through to the first team, to Manchester United, where he scored a hat-trick in his first Champions League game, to England, where he exploded on to the scene in Euro 2004. You can't always be the hero. Gary Lineker went eight games without scoring when he joined Tottenham, Alan Shearer went nine games without a goal before Euro 96. When they scored one, they started scoring for fun. Wayne can't be England's matchwinner in every game, but try telling him that. Like me, the demands on himself are part of his make-up and character. I don't accept that he has a hangover from that World Cup red card. He is at the best club, with the best manager, in Sir Alex Ferguson, to deal with these growing pains. Please let us not forget he is only 20 and, because he doesn't rely on pace, he could have another 15 years left at the top if he avoid injuries. I know about the pressure that comes with having ability. Diego Maradona would have a series of poor games and then conjure something amazing to remind the world he was special. Wayne is just a game or two from delivering that sort of moment, either with a goal or a free kick or a pass that opens a defence. He hasn't lost his touch, he's just out of touch. LOOK at his performance against Macedonia. He worked his nuts off for the team, knuckling down, trying to win the ball back and looking to create. He's taking a touch too many at times, but that's about confidence and his age. I don't apologise for mentioning it again, he is only 20. I suspect there is also the issue of opponents knowing how to play him. I was flying in my first couple of seasons, with the freedom to run all over the park. Then teams realise the damage you can cause and set up to stop you. It's said that you've been found out. You then need to take stock, look at your game and come again. That's what is happening to Wayne, though I've no doubt he will return from this. He needs the support of his manager and team-mates, he needs the platform ... and he needs to be playing. I wouldn't have taken him off on Saturday and I would certainly pick him against Croatia. Pick him, or not? It isn't a debate. When you are the playmaker, you know the team needs you to function and it brings a pressure. When I was man of the match, I used to think 'but that means you must be man of the match next week too, or else you're slipping'. It's life in the spotlight and it can bring joy and pain. I'll finish by saying this. Wayne will become one of the world's best footballers and I'm behind him, supporting him. Let's all do that, because it makes a lonely place a happier place to be.' --------------------------------- [18] Carlos on UEFA-Benfica probe --------------------------------- Posted Monday, October 9, 2006 by ed: "At United there has not been any news about this controversy. Now I am in England and there is not any more news." --------------------------------- [17] Sylvian Blake --------------------------------- Posted Monday, October 9, 2006 by ed: "We have this saying at United: once you've been to Antwerp you've done your time. Except that someone got sent back there again this season, poor bloke. It was hard living in a hotel, not having a fridge. And I didn't realise it was such a funny country. You've got all these different languages in the same place. Madness. Flemish is a really terrible language." ------------------------------------------------------------------------ For United books, videos, DVDs etc http://www.rednews.co.uk/ama.php?id=amazon ------------------------------------------------------------------------ For the very latest news check out the website: http://www.rednews.co.uk Yahoo!
