Red View: Rooney interview, Goal of the Month video, Evra Q + A and more

ROONEY EXPECTS STERN TEST Manchester United made light work of Fulham when the Cottagers visited Old Trafford last weekend, but Wayne Rooney expects this Saturday’s league clash in west London to prove more difficult. The Reds won the FA Cup fourth round clash at a canter – thanks to goals from Rooney, Ryan Giggs and Javier Hernandez (2) – but have won just once in the last four league visits to Craven Cottage. And while Martin Jol’s side have taken just 18 points from a possible 36 at home this season, they’ve tasted defeat by the banks of the Thames just once since the beginning of December, hinting at a recent change in fortune in front of their own fans. “At home, Fulham are a different team,” Rooney said. “It’s always a difficult game there. It’s a smaller pitch and a compact stadium. That suits them. They’ve got players who can take the ball between the lines because the pitch isn’t as big and then create chances. It will be a completely different game [to the one at Old Trafford]. They are down near the bottom so they will be fighting to get one or three points. We will need to make sure we are at our best to beat them.” More - Team news for Fulham trip | Rooney's best OT goals |  Podcast: Fulham focus TALKING REDS: PENALTY TAKERS Ryan Giggs opened the scoring from the spot in last weekend's match against Fulham, taking over penalty-taking duties from Wayne Rooney following a couple of recent misses by the Reds striker. After the match, Sir Alex praised Giggsy's ability to convert from 12 yards but who should take our next one? Here's what some United fans had to say on the subject... Denis Parish, Moston: "This is probably the obvious answer, given his goalscoring form this season, but I think Robin van Persie should be our primary penalty taker. Obviously, he missed one against Southampton but that is irrelevant for me. He perfectly mixes power with accuracy." Sion Jones, Warrington “Personally, I think Wayne Rooney and Robin van Persie should take it in turns. Both are equally skilled from 12-yards and splitting the responsibility would ease the burden and enhance both of their goal tallies. If neither is playing, I’d like Giggs or Scholes to volunteer." Scott Halshaw, Ashton “RvP has scored lots of goals in big games, winning the team lots of points this season. I think he has enough confidence to take penalties - he doesn't seem to doubt himself when in front of goal. He also proved that he is capable of scoring from the spot at Anfield.” What do you think?

Ashley Young and Danny Welbeck say your dressing room DJ slots are becoming more mellow. Are you slowing down? - Adnam Chandaray They apologised for that. I gave them my evil look and they said, ‘No, Pat. We would never say that about you’. Ask Giggsy, he’s experienced and he will tell you honestly, if I don’t put my iPod on in the dressing room before games then people are not happy. Ashley Young and Welbeck can put their iPods on but I think they’d be thrown away straightaway. I love to pick the music before the game in my room.  I don’t just pick my music. I pick the music that everyone will like. If Danny Welbeck only loves hip-hop music, that is his problem. I can’t play Lil Wayne every time! I play lots of different music – that’s the sign of a good DJ [laughs]. Ask 25 players and only two would complain. Everyone else is happy. Lionel Messi won the Ballon d’Or – who do you think is the best player in the world? - Anne-Marie Dunphy I always say Ronaldo. I know how professional he is and how good he is. Messi is an amazing player, but I don’t know him. When Messi plays wide he is not as dangerous. When he’s in the middle of the pitch, that’s where he can kill the game. But Ronny…  a lot of people don’t like the attitude. That’s why they don’t vote for him. They say he’s arrogant. Arrogance can be a person’s strength. Many people in France don’t like Cantona. They say he’s arrogant. I love Cantona. That attitude makes Ronaldo. Which trophy would you most like to win this season? -Takumi T The most important is the league. But the one I want to win is the Champions League.
