Rooney toiling to find form
The Guardian
Wayne Rooney was the last player off Manchester United's training ground on Friday as he seeks a remedy for his first slump in form in his two years at the club. Rooney asked for an extra 30-minute session to practise his finishing and improve his fitness and Carlos Queiroz, Sir Alex Ferguson's assistant, acknowledged the player's confidence may have been affected by his recent performances."Wayne finished training then stayed a while to work alone because he knows he needs to do something," said Queiroz. "Game by game, it will start to come right for him. The confidence will build up and I am sure he will be better against Newcastle (at Old Trafford tomorrow)." Rooney has been disappointing by his usual standards since returning from a three-match suspension and Queiroz suggested the 20-year-old might have been trying too hard to impress. "Sometimes with young talents like Wayne, they want to prove everything in every minute of every game." he said.
