Man United win against Fulham - but after a fierce resistance by the Cottagers

When the red Devils went into Craven Cottage to play their Premier League match Saturday evening yesterday against Fulham, they were very confident and itching for tons of goals.

But the Fulham defence proved to be so formidable that the all hopes of the Devils dashed till as late as 79th minute when a lone goal from Rooney gave them an edge over the Cottagers.

Rooney surged forward after 78 minutes to meet a Jonny Evans long ball and send a cool finish into the far corner for his 10th goal in as many games.

In a frantic finale, Fulham were denied an equaliser when United striker Robin van Persie cleared a Philippe Senderos header off the line.

The 1-0 win over the Cottagers give the Red Devils a 10 points lead in the points table who now have amassed 65 points and continue to sit on top of the points table.

Red Devil Rooney is back!!

Well we have been missing Rooney in action lately, but when he appeared in the training session in the warmth of Doha sun today, he showed no sigh no injuries.

Although Rooney limped out of the training session grimacing and clutching his left thigh, he was back again today and looked well and in form for the Red Devils' encounter against Fullham on the weekend for the FA Cup.

The striker, who famously announced 'the big man is back' when joining the England squad late at the 2006 World Cup, was back to normal on Thursday morning as the Premier League leaders were put through their paces at the Aspire Academy for Sports Excellence, reports Mail Online.

It may be added that that the United squad flew to the Middle East after dropping two points at the death against Tottenham.

Red Devils in Qatar

The Red Devils have descended in Qatar to escape the freezing cold temperatures of Britain to train for a week ahead of the FA Cup fourth round match against Fullham.

Less than eight hours after the draw at Tottenham - a match which was very nearly postponed due to the deluge of snow that fell on London throughout the weekend - the Premier League leaders were on a plane heading for Qatar's Aspire Academy in Doha.

Seemingly without a care in the world, Robin van Persie, Nani, Rafael, Phil Jones and the rest of the squad, have taken up temporary residence at the Aspire Academy in Doha for a few days of warm weather training. They were not being watched by manager Sir Alex Ferguson, however. He was not in Qatar due to charity commitments in Britain.

It was snow that disturbed their match with Hotspurs and ended up in a 1-1 draw at the White Hart Lane. And despite Sir Alex's yelling and later disappointment that his side were not awarded a penalty.

But the question is whether the Red Devils will be able to adjust in Middle East desert temperatures and then go back to the freezing London temperatures and re-adjust again?

"He is one of the players that we are looking at - that is all I will say at the moment," Gill told Sky Sports News. "Even if we did do something with Wilfried, that would be for the summer.

Ronaldo not to celebrate goals against Red Devils

Real Madrid's ace striker Cristiano Ronaldo says he will not celebrate if he scores against Manchester United.

Real Madrid have been tied against the Red Devils in the Round of 16 of the Champions League at the Bernabeu on 13 February and then at Old Trafford on 5 March following Thursday's draw.

Ronaldo has six years' affiliation with the Red Devils and his nostalgia will not allow celebrating his goals against his old club - something he still values and remembers:

"It is thanks to Manchester United that I play for Real Madrid. Without them, I wouldn't be the player I am today."

The recent draw takes 27 years old Ronaldo for his first visit to Old Trafford since his £80m move to Spain in June 2009.
