Rooney bags double
 Wayne Rooney has won ManUtd.com's Player and Goal of the Month awards for February. The 22-year-old striker scored three goals and turned in outstanding performances against Arsenal, Newcastle and Lyon, and his displays saw him narrowly pip Brazilian midfielder Anderson to the award. Just two percent of over 64,000 votes separated the pair, while Portuguese winger Nani registered a third place finish after his own fine form during the course of the month. The winger's fine goal against Arsenal barely registered in February's Goal of the Month poll, however, as Rooney made it a personal double. His superb curling effort against Newcastle secured his second award of the month by some distance, finishing comfortably ahead of Cristiano Ronaldo's first strike in the same game, and Michael Carrick's late consolation against Manchester City.
