“It is difficult because as a footballer you know people look up to you. You are role models whether you like it or not. You need to try and be aware of that and try and do your best on the pitch and try and do things well for kids to see.”

“When I first joined United, I used to go out to nightclubs, but it is very rare that I would go out to a nightclub now. It changes with age. I made that decision myself. I got into a few things that I shouldn’t have and I tried to change that. I am settled at home now, and it’s good. I am enjoying my life with my family. When you are home, you get your rest and it is definitely benefiting me.”

I’m sure you have all read what Rooney has been getting up to over the past few months. I have lost all respect for the Manchester United and England striker.

You can go to Live Football Tickets now to buy Valencia v Manchester United tickets for the Champions League encounter later this year.

The former Manchester United man has been strongly linked with a move back to the Premier League throughout the summer but as of yet, nothing has materialised. However, that may be about to change.

Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp is still keen to add another striker to the ranks at White Hart Lane with Robbie Keane likely to depart before the window shuts at 6pm on Tuesday. Luis Fabiano and Klaas Jan Huntelaar have both been linked but with Fabiano now staying at Sevilla and Huntelaar on the verge of joining Schalke, Rossi is now Redknapp’s number one target.

The 23-year old has scored 45 goals in just over 120 appearances for Villarreal and is considered one of the best strikers in La Liga. With Champions League football now on offer at Tottenham, it is understood that Rossi may be interested in a move to north London.

I personally would love to see Rossi back in the Premier League. He was never given a fair crack of the whip during his time at Old Trafford and if Tottenham can get him for somewhere near the £14 million mark, I reckon he would prove terrific value for money. Make sure to stay tuned to Football Corner for all the latest news as the transfer window gets ready to slam shut.

You can buy both Champions League final tickets and FA Cup final tickets right now. Who knows, maybe Spurs will be in both of them.

The former Chelsea and Arsenal midfielder has fallen further down the pecking order at the Bernabeu following the arrival of German midfielder Sami Khedira on Friday evening.

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson is keen to add to his midfield options before the new season starts in two weeks time and Diarra is now seen as a possible acquisition.

Diarra, 25, has made just over 50 appearances for Real since joining the club back in 2008 and his first team opportunities are likely to be even more limited if remains at the club.

With Owen Hargreaves’ long-term future still unclear, Ferguson knows he needs to bring a new midfielder to Old Trafford and personally, I think Diarra would be a magnificent signing.

He may not be the biggest midfielder in the world but what Diarra lacks in height he certainly makes up for in his ability to tackle and pick out a pass. It will be fascinating to see what happens with regards Diarra’s future in the coming weeks so stay tuned to Football Corner for all the latest.

German side Schalke were understood to be the favourites to sign the 33-year old but Raul has today admitted he may well end up in England.

Speaking earlier today, the Spanish legend had this to say: “I have had very deep discussions with Schalke but there are other teams that are also interested. My future lies in Germany or England.”

Liverpool, Tottenham and Manchester United are all believed to be interested but the real question is, can Raul still cut it at the very highest level. We want to know what you have to say on this one. Please leave your comments below.

Lukas Podolski certainly impressed for Germany and the Cologne striker is now attracting the interest of Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson.

The 25-year old scored twice for the Germans in South Africa and his representative, Kon Schramm, has confirmed that a number of clubs from around Europe have expressed an interest.

Schramm had this to say when asked about Podolski’s future: “There are enquires (with regard to Lukas) from England, Italy and Spain. At the moment Lukas is keeping fully focused on the World Cup campaign, afterwards he has a contract left at Cologne until 2013.”

United’s bitter rivals, Manchester City are also understood to be interested in Podolski but it is believed that the former Bayern Munich striker would prefer a move to Old Trafford.

Personally, I think Podolski would be a superb signing for United. I am sure the majority of United fans will agree with me when I say that the lack of a good strike partner for Wayne Rooney last season cost the side their 4th Premier League title on the trot. At the rumoured £16 million, I reckon Podolski would prove terrific value for money.

The Sevilla striker looks set to leave the La Liga side this summer, with the likes of Manchester United, AC Milan and Chelsea all reported to be interested.

Fabiano, 29, is considered by many as one of the best strikers in world football and is currently in South Africa with Brazil. In his six years with Sevilla, Fabiano has scored an impressive 94 goals in all competitions.

The former Sao Paulo striker, who is likely to cost around the £28 million mark, had more to say with regards a possible move to White Hart Lane: “I might as well stay at Sevilla, it’s the same thing.”

“Sevilla are actually bigger when you look at how much we have been in the European Cup, so there would be no point me moving to a smaller team.” He also had this to say when asked about the possibilty of him joining Manchester United: “I think the way Manchester United play football is very attractive. I must be honest and say Premier League football attracts me and also the way Manchester United play football attracts me.”

“You think about being Wayne Rooney’s strike partner and that is very attractive for any striker.”

Very interesting comments from Fabiano, I’m sure you’ll agree. Personally, I believe Fabiano would be a massive success in England and the sooner he moves to the Premier League, the better. There is no doubt that Fabiano can score goals but would he be able to adapt to the pace of English football?

The Uruguayan international scored twice for his country this afternoon to help them reach the quarter-finals of the World Cup for the first time since 1966.

Suarez, 23, scored an incredible 49 goals for Ajax last season and is now currently the joint top scorer at the World Cup with 3 goals in his 4 games.

It is understood that Ajax will accept nothing less than £20 million for Suarez and to be honest, I reckon he is well worth that. Both Arsenal and Manchester United have been linked with Suarez in recent weeks but as of yet, nothing has materialised.

The next few weeks should be fascinating with regards the future of the impressive striker and I for one would love to see Suarez playing Premier League football next season.

What do you think? Is Suarez worth the rumoured £20 million? Comments below please.

The first one we have for you involves Arsenal and the French defender William Gallas. The Mirror has reported that Arsenal have decided to let Gallas go after the two parties couldn’t agree a new deal.

The 32-year old moved to the Emirates back in 2006 after spending 5 years with Chelsea. However his demands of £80,000 a week has seen the Gunners decide to let him go and it is now expected that Arsene Wenger will look to bring a new centre-back to the club in the coming weeks.

I have never really rated Gallas and to be honest, I think it’s a great decision by Arsenal to let him go. I reckon he will be playing in the French league next season but who he is playing for, I really don’t know.

Elsewhere, former Chelsea midfielder Michael Ballack has today been linked with a surprise move to Manchester United. Ballack, 33, was released by Chelsea last week along with Joe Cole and has since been linked with several clubs around Europe including the likes of Real Madrid and Wolfsburg.

Sir Alex Ferguson knows he hasn’t got much money to spend this summer with United in a huge amount of debt so I suppose it makes sense for him to look for a bargain or two. If he could stay injury-free, I personally believe Ballack has another season in him in the Premier League and I would be fascinated to see how he would adapt to life at Old Trafford. Ferguson did sign an aging crock in the form of Michael Owen last summer so it wouldn’t surprise me at all to see Ballack wearing red next season.

If you want a bit of a laugh right now, watch Wayne Rooney and James Corden working on a World Cup celebration for the England striker. Enjoy.

It looks as though Rooney has prepared his own celebration though!

Enjoy the video.

It was announced last week that Manchester City had a £20 million bid rejected for Milner but that has done little to put off the world’s richest club and indeed others.

Roberto Mancini, Sir Alex Ferguson, Rafa Benitez and Carlo Ancelotti are all believed to be keen admirers of the 24-year old and many, including myself, believe that it is only a matter of time before the former Leeds man leaves Villa Park to join one of the four clubs in question.

We at Football Corner would like you to sum up Milner in just three words. We love doing this feature simply because we always seem to get a good response from you, the readers. Your three words could be as simple as : going to city or future England legend.
