Wayne Rooney has struggled for form over the past few months and serious questions have been raised over his suitability to leading the line this season. However, the United captain insists he’s only had one bad game, presumably referring to his showing at Aston Villa, and that the goals will come.

I’ve had one bad game this season and everyone’s all over it. I’ve had that throughout my career but hopefully at the weekend I can get off the mark,” said the England captain. It’s early on in the season – we’re just three games in. I’ve experienced this criticism before and the goals will come, I know that. I understand I have to be the one who’s going to lead that line for us and try and find the goals for us. It’s important that we all chip in.
