Is Rooney showing signs of improving?
England captain Rooney has been leading the line for United but there was little sign of his first goal of the campaign coming against Brugge. He managed only one touch in the area during Friday's 1-0 win at Aston Villa and when chances did come his way against the Belgian side he had a volley hacked clear and glanced a header wide from a corner. Some of Rooney's best work came outside the box, with one of his passes and a clever backheel setting up Depay for two excellent chances. "He worked hard as Wayne Rooney always does but he looks like he has lost a little bit of belief in front of goal," said BBC Radio 5 live pundit Chris Waddle. "He is snatching at things and doesn't look composed in front of goal and that must be a concern for manager Louis Van Gaal." |
