Rooney gunning for Wembley glory

Saturday, February 28, 2009

Do not play down the Carling Cup final to Wayne Rooney because the Manchester United striker is aiming to fulfil a childhood dream by lifting a trophy at Wembley.

Ever since he went to the old Wembley as a nine-year-old Everton fan to see Joe Royle’s team beat United, he has wanted to get his hands on some silverware there.

The England international told The Sun: "I still remember going to the old Wembley as a kid to watch Everton beat United in the FA Cup final.

"It was an amazing occasion and something that has always stuck in my mind. To play in a major final is still a dream come true for me."

Rooney's first medal with United came in the Carling Cup when they beat Wigan in 2006 — but Cardiff isn’t Wembley.

"The Carling Cup was the first trophy I won with United, in Cardiff, and something I want to win again badly.

"The fact it is at such an amazing place like Wembley now obviously makes it more special."
