Wayne Rooney is about to be the highest-paid player in English football. According to various reports, the striker is about to sign a five-and-a-half year extension with Manchester United worth a reported 300,000 pounds a week that would see him at Old Trafford until 2019. The 28-year-old England international came over to United from Everton in 2004. Though a five-time Premier League champion and Champions League-winner with the club, Rooneys time with United has not gone without its controversy. In August of 2010, Rooney released a statement questioning the Red Devils ambition and declaring his intent to leave the club. Only days later in a dramatic turn of events, Rooney signed a contract extension. Towards the end of last season, Sir Alex Ferguson claimed that Rooney had submitted a transfer request and speculation grew about Rooneys future with the arrival of David Moyes at Old Trafford, Rooneys former manager at Everton with whom he shared a frosty relationship. Although, Rooney denied that he wanted out, he was linked for a majority of the summer with a move to rivals Chelsea. By the beginning of the season, Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho delcared his pursuit of the striker dead. Defending champion United currently sits seventh in the BPL table, 11 points adrift of Liverpool for the final Champions League place. The clubs next fixture is on Saturday when it travels to Selhurst Park to take on Crystal Palace.

Its not like it was Sunday and then we had an extra day to look at the film and had a whole day to really think about it. We had to move on fast to Cincinnati.So the Chiefs, officially, are in New Englands rearview mirror. Running back Jamaal Charles three touchdowns are a thing of the past. Quarterback Alex Smith missing on just six passes while dissecting New Englands secondary for 248 yards and three scores is a distant memory.The Bengals (3-0), one of only two undefeated teams in the NFL, are foremost in the minds of the Patriots.But their poor performance against Kansas City isnt entirely a lost cause. New Englands defence knows precisely what went wrong, and is looking to build off those mistakes.When you cant pinpoint what happened, you cant make any corrections from that, Pro Bowl nose tackle Vince Wilfork said. For the most part, we see a lot of things that we do that we have no business doing; that we can fix. Its fixable. We need to fix it to get better.Thats what good football teams do, they fix things and move forward. Thats where were at; were fixing them and were moving forward, and hopefully we fix them before Sunday.The likely return of suspended cornerback Brandon Browner will surely help, if only to contain the Bengals big receiversThe Patriots (2-2) signed the hard-hitting Pro Bowler during the off-season despite knowing he would miss the firstt four games of the season due to violating the leagues substance abuse policy.ddddddddddddWere excited to have him back. Its been too long, Revis said. He brings a lot of physicality to our defence and were looking forward to that, for him to be aggressive.Browner probably will have to shake off some rust after missing the first four weeks of practice, but his height alone should be enough to counter that of Cincinnati wide receivers A.J. Green, who stands 6-foot-4, and the 6-2 Mohamed Sanu.At 6-4, 221 pounds, Browner looks more like a receiver or linebacker than a member of the secondary.I dont care who guys have at receiver, having Brandon out there will be nice, safety Devin McCourty said. Hes a bigger guy, a physical guy who lets his presence be known as soon as he steps on the field.Itll be a big plus having him out there. Hes a veteran football player whos been in tough situations, so hell be ready to go when hes out there.New England will need all the help it can get to slow down Green, who has been quarterback Andy Daltons top weapon and deep threat since the two entered the league together in 2011.Despite being hampered by an early season toe injury, Green has hauled in 12 catches for 233 yards and a touchdown, and he is coming off the best season of his four-year career.The three-time Pro Bowler had 98 receptions for 1,426 yards and 11 touchdowns last season, and is a threat to score nearly every time he touches the ball.A.J. Green is one of the best receivers in the league, Revis said. Ive got a lot of respect for him.New Englands defence had garnered plenty of early season respect, too, although that perception may have swayed slightly following the debacle against the Chiefs.That was a long time ago to Revis, though.It was an embarrassment, yes it was, but at the same time, youve got to put it in the past, he said. Weve got 12 more games left. If we can focus on those 12 more games, we can do what we need to do in those 12 games. Its a 12-game season. ' ' '
