Sir Alex Ferguson has done little to defuse his personal feud with Rafael Benitez ahead of Manchester United’s clash with Liverpool at Old Trafford on Sunday, saying: “Rafa doesn’t have relationships with anybody.”
Back in August I didn’t really think we needed Villa as he’s quite short and I thought we needed a taller, quicker player but seeing Rooney improving his aerial game and putting header’s in left, right and centre, maybe we don’t need a taller, pacier forward. Rooney and Villa could become the best strike partnership since Cole and Yorke. Fergie knows best and if he decides to get him, I’ll be happy.
I think Villa just oozes class, he looks like a proper goalscorer that can bang them in anywhere. I just hope this is true.
