Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson admits he plans to keep Wayne Rooney at Old Trafford.

And Ferguson remains full of praise for the striker, adding: "He got me 32 goals last year. He's had a lot of issues this year in terms of illness, injuries and not had a long run of games, but he's got me 14 goals from probably two-thirds of the appearances of last year. "He'll get 20 goals, no doubt about that. I've said before, if he gets over 20, Chicharito [Javier Hernandez] over 20 and Van Persie's there just now, we're talking over 60 goals and that's put us right in the ballpark."
