West Ham keeper Adrian: Don't mention THAT Rooney goal

West Ham United goalkeeper Adrian admits conceding Wayne Rooney's wonder goal last season still gives him the shakes.

Rooney and Manchester United return to the Boleyn Ground today a year after his rasping 60-yard volley last season.

Adrian, 28, said: "Nobody has ever scored a goal against me from as far out as Wayne Rooney last season, so I need to be careful.

"It was an amazing goal for him and you need to be wary of that kind of skill.

"It might be a busy game for me with all the top-class attacking players they have but in the Premier League, you never have an easy game.

"I just want to help my team-mates and we'll be focused and going for the victory.

"I work every day at the training ground to improve and it's my job to make saves. I enjoy it every time when I help my team-mates."
