Rooney thrives at the heart of tug of war



The name of England's talisman was chanted
by both sets of supporters on a night when
Jose Mourinho said the striker could now
decide to stay at Old Trafford

On a night that put the ‘stale’ into stalemate,
neither side were willing to sacrifice one point
to win three. And, even more bizarrely, Wayne Rooney, who
has not always been an Old Trafford favourite
over the last few years, was welcomed back
like a prodigal son. In a very impressive first start of the season,
he found his name being frequently chanted by
both sets of supporters. A tepid opening period was livened up by
Manchester United fans chanting ‘Rooney,
Rooney’ and the the Chelsea’s hardcore
responding by chanting the striker’s name and
adding, ‘We’ll see you next week’. There was so much love for the 27-year-old in
the stadium that it felt like a floating heart
should land on the centre circle and whisk him
off to wherever he wished.
