Rooney limps out of season opener

<font size="2"><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Wayne Rooney lasted only 45 minutes of the new Premier League season after injuring his foot in Manchester United's opener against Reading. </font>

<font size="2">The 21-year-old suffered the problem when Reading defender Michael Duberry accidentally landed on the striker's foot in the 37th minute. </font></p>

<font size="2">Rooney received treatment on the pitch but hobbled off, bootless, at the interval to be replaced by Nani. </font></p>

<font size="2">Boss Sir Alex Ferguson said Rooney was in too much pain to stand on his foot.</div></font></p>

DAMNIT! No word yet on how serious this is, could be just like last season w/ 1 steal striker... Tevez, for a while. </p>

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Downunderwonder)</div><div class='quotemain'>Sorry man but I dont share the angst after Steven Gerard killed us on saturday. We had the other 9 guys covered well, but as in sparkling Aston Villa tradition we fell apart. Rooney goes down and you have 5 others behind him (Ole Gunnar Sojksier will be back soon, Scholes is evergreen and Tevez is dynamite, seen this kid play?). Nigel Reo Coker goes down and we've had it, our midfield is weak.</div></p>

Ole and Saha are hurt. Behind Tevez, as displayed today, Sir Alex threw in OShea. Smith and Rossi were sold. Rossi I think was a huge mistake to ship out. I can understand him and Rooney not exactly a great pair, but Rooney is out now (both short).</p>

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Downunderwonder)</div><div class='quotemain'>have faith in Tevez... he killed it for west ham last year</div></p>

Over the next 3 games, he can't replace the impact of Rooney and Ronaldo.</p>
