Man Utd boss Ferguson: Rooney volleying better than Law

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson likened Wayne Rooney's spectacular winner to club great Denis Law.

Ferguson says there's great similarities between the pair.

He said: "Wayne hit a volley against Newcastle some years ago that had the same ferocity and we've of course seen some excellent goals here, but in terms of execution you'll never see any better.

"I have to say it reminded me of him (Law) when it went in, but whether or not Denis hit them in with such ferocity I'm not so sure. It was unbelievable. I haven't seen anything like it before, that's for sure. It was absolutely stunning, unbelievable."
