Moyes hails 200-goal hero Rooney

MANCHESTER United manager David Moyes believes striker Wayne Rooney is ‘in a good place’ after a tumultuous summer.

Barely a month ago it appeared the England international still wanted to leave Old Trafford.

But two goals and the influential role in the 4–2 Champions League victory over Bayer Leverkusen suggest the 27–year–old has turned a corner - after becoming only the fourth person to score 200 times for the team.

“He played really well,” acknowledged Moyes. “He looks like he is moving as well as he has done. He is in a good place himself at the moment and obviously any centre–forward who is scoring goals feels good about himself.

The other three 200+ men are Sir Bobby Charlton (249), Denis Law (237) and Jack Rowley (211).
