Last weekend, the Manchester United football club lost 1-2 in an away fixture at Swansea City. It was only the team's second loss of the New Year, but was still enough to drop Man Utd out of third place on the 2014 2015 Premier League table. Arsenal, meanwhile, took the opportunity to slip into the division top three. This weekend, though, the Red Devils redeemed themselves, winning 2-0 in a home match with Sunderland.

Wayne Rooney
Soccer Box carries official names and numbers for all of the most popular starters on the Man Utd squad. The favorite players, of course, tend to shift as the football season rolls on and different stars make their contributions to the team. This week, though, there is little doubt who the Red Devils MVP is: Wayne Rooney.
After a disastrous 2013 2014 season at Old Trafford, Manchester United's old captain-defender Nemanja Vidi?-departed the Premier League to play at Italy's Inter Milan. Louis Van Gaal subsequently named Rooney, a 10-year Man Utd veteran, as the new captain.
Since taking on the leadership position, Wayne has been a top contributor for his team. The Brit forward scored Manchester's lone goal in a losing fixture during the first week of the football season, and has kept pace with Van Persie as one of the club's leading goal scorers. In a December 26th match against Newcastle United, he scored two goals in the first half to give his side a runaway victory.
Needless to say, Rooney's official Manchester United away name and number has remained a popular item at Soccer Box all season. After this weekend's win with Sunderland, though, you can expect to see the captain's name and number on the back of even more home and away shirts than before. For the first time since taking the captaincy, Wayne really carried Man Utd to victory on Saturday.
Sunderland
No one quite knew what to expect as the Red Devils prepared to face off against Sunderland on the last day of February. The two clubs had met during the second week of the 2014 2015 season-with Man Utd in the away position-and the result was a 1-1 draw.
This time, though, with fans filling the stands at Old Trafford-and with their red jerseys shining with an array of official names and numbers for United football players-the Red Devils definitely had the edge.
The score stayed even for the first half and part of the second, but at the 66-minute mark, Rooney took charge and netted the first goal of the contest. He'd be back 18 minutes later for another golden scoring opportunity, singlehandedly giving his team a 2-0 lead with just a few minutes remaining in the match. It was a deficit that the away team simply couldn't overcome.
With this big win, it's the perfect time to stop by Soccer Box and pick up an official Manchester United away name and number for Wayne Rooney! The captain carried his football team to victory this past weekend, and even tied Robin Van Persie as the top Red Devil scorer for the 2014 2015 season. (Both men have tallied 10 goals.)
Prepare for the rest of the season, and show support for your favorite players, with Soccer Box's official names and numbers! We have Manchester United names and numbers available for both home and away jerseys, all of which look great and are easy to apply.
