Manchester United's Wayne Rooney revealed the secrets to his incredible season: positioning, timing -- and going bald. The Englishman has scored 30 goals this season. Ten of them have been headers, including seven successive headers until he finished off Nani's cross for United's second goal in its 4-0 win over AC Milan.

“I’m still working on my heading," he said. “But probably the goals are all coming off my bald patch! That’s helping me to score. I have been working on my heading a lot and thankfully that’s paying off."

He went to add: “This season I’ve been getting in the box more and working on the timing of my runs and my finishing. It’s also because I’ve been playing up front every game. That’s definitely the main reason for me scoring a lot of goals."
