MANCHESTER, England -- Wayne Rooney and Juan Mata scored twice to ensure Ryan Giggs spell as interim Manchester United manager began with a comfortable 4-0 victory against a mediocre Norwich side in the English Premier League on Saturday. Cameron Jordan Jersey . It was an upbeat end to a turbulent week at Old Trafford that saw manager David Moyes dismissed just 10 months after succeeding Alex Ferguson, paying the price for taking the club from champions to seventh place. "Theyre all good players and all of us have let ourselves down this year," Giggs said. "We havent played to the level that were capable of this season, but we did that today." However uplifting this rout was for disgruntled fans, it came against a relegation-threatened team with the worst away record in the league. And United did also score four goals in winning two of Moyes last three domestic fixtures. Although there could be a clamour for Giggs to stay in charge after these remaining four matches of the season, United plans to appoint a more experienced, proven trophy winner. Outgoing Netherlands coach Louis van Gaal is the favourite for the job. "Giggs has got all the credentials to be the next manager but thats down to the board," Rooney said. The 40-year-old Giggs has grown up at Old Tafford, from coming as a supporter, rising through the youth team, becoming the clubs most decorated player, and now occupying the managers seat in the dugout. "I was nervous, but as soon as I came out of the tunnel the reception I got, the staff got, and the players got was brilliant," Giggs said. "Ive got to thank the fans for that because its not been an easy week, but I felt 10 feet tall." Having joked on Friday he would award himself a new five-year playing contract, Giggs denied himself a 963rd United appearance. Watching from the sidelines in a club suit, Giggs ensured the team provided the cathartic experience desired by all at Old Trafford, near the end of a season of unparalleled inferiority and disorder in the Premier League era. Although there was never a mutinous atmosphere even in the lowest points of Moyes ill-fated reign, there has not been this much joy inside the ground for some time; supporters cheered loudly as Giggs emerged from the tunnel before kickoff. Fans inside the so-called Theatre of Dreams will start dreaming again of a brighter future. As if to emphasize the extent of the club moving on after Moyes, it came with Saturdays start. Marouane Fellaini, the overpriced 27.5 million pound midfield signing which defined Moyes reign, didnt even make the bench and Mata, the clubs record 37.1 million pound signing in January, was dropped from the starting lineup. Talented teenager Adnan Januzaj, who broke into the first team under Moyes, wasnt in the matchday squad. The pre-match message by Giggs to the team was: Entertain, attack, play with a tempo. But it was listless for much of the first half until Rooneys penalty kick lifted the atmosphere just before halftime. Rooney scored again within three minutes of the new half, and Matas arrival from the bench ensured the victory was even more convincing. Had United managed similar displays against the leading teams this season, Moyes might still be in a job and the team might be challenging for the title and not a Europa League spot. "We underperformed, we obviously have to take a lot of the responsibility but we have to move on," Rooney said. "We have to show we are a top team and thats what we plan to do."

Atletico built a provisional three-point advantage over Barcelona before the defending champion hosts Elche on Sunday. Barcelona then visits Atletico in the following round. "We will have to wait and see if Barcelona wins tomorrow to stay leader, as it is accustomed to doing," Atletico coach Diego Simeone said.When the B.C. Lions used a first-round pick to draft University of Calgary offensive tackle Kirby Fabien back in May, they did so with the hope that he could contribute to their needs as a rookie. Same for the Hamilton Tiger-Cats when they drafted linebacker Frederic Plesius out of Laval - considered among the most pro-ready players in this years draft. But neither Fabien nor Plesius are participating in CFL training camps this spring. And neither are two other draftees, Calgary offensive lineman Carson Rockhill and Laval defensive lineman Arnaud Gascon-Nadon (another Ticats pick). All of them have opted to pass on an opportunity to play in the CFL this season, returning to school and another year of CIS football instead (CIS players have five years of eligibility, compared to four for players in American college football). All of which isnt very popular with the CFL teams that drafted them which were apparently under the impression theyd be turning pro this season. All four attended the CFLs Evaluation Camp back in early March. Plesius said during TSNs draft show that he was eager to get to training camp with Tiger-Cats. Rockhill told the Tiger-Cats leading up to the draft that he would be at training camp. And Fabien accepted a flight to Vancouver to don a Lions jersey for a photo op in the days following the draft. Yet none of them are to be found this spring. So why would players pass on a chance to play in the CFL when teams clearly are interested in their services? Well, theres no simple answer to whats taken place. Some of the reasons cited are the typical things like the desire to finish school or the chance to compete for a Vanier Cup. Some in the CFL suggest CIS coaches have their own self-interest at heart by encouraging players to defer their CFL opportunity for another year. And then theres the notion that at least some of these players are dreaming of the NFL and thus dont want to sign a three-year CFL contract that would lock them up until 2015. By returning to school instead, theyre hoping to make enough progress over this coming season to earn their shot down south in time for next season. CFL teams scoff at this ratiionale, suggesting that players who arent ready for the NFL near the end of their CIS careers are unlikely to be so with an additional year of university football under their belts.

And they say if these players are interested in long-term development, theyre best in the CFL where the season is more than twice as long as in the CIS and theyll see better coaching and competition. Not coincidentally, three of the four CIS returnees are represented by player agent Jonathan Hardaway out of Washington, D.C. Hardaway earned considerable credibility with CIS players when, two years ago, he managed to land former Concordia linebacker Cory Greenwood with the Kansas City Chiefs. Last year, he helped get former Queens offensive lineman Matt ODonnell onto the Cincinnati Bengals practice roster. ODonnell decided to wait out the NFL lockout last spring instead of reporting to Saskatchewan when he was drafted by the Roughriders. To say that Hardaway is not popular with CFL general managers is putting it rather mildly (Hardaway did not return a phone call for this column.). And at least some say that having Hardaway represent a player affects where they might draft him. Theres not much the CFL can do about Hardaway, but the league appears determined to reform its draft rules so that players will have to state their intentions and lose the ability to change their minds after the draft. This would require players to formally enter the CFL draft - the same way players do in the National Football League - with the idea being that publicly declaring their intentions to turn pro would mean forfeiting whatever CIS eligibility they have remaining. That is, perhaps, unless a team that drafts a player determines its in his best interests to return for another year of CIS football before playing in the CFL. Such a measure would require the CISs co-operation, which is by no means a given. Its not that the CFL doesnt want to see players finish out their eligibility before becoming professionals. Its just that theyd like a player to commit to his intentions before they spend a draft pick on someone they wont see for at least a year. cheap nfl jerseys ' ' '
