Rooney Hails Moyes for Making Him Feel at Home.

Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney has praised manager David Moyes for making him feel more settled at the club and for improving his fitness level.

The England international was left disillusioned last season, having been withdrawn deep into the midfield, just off Robin van Persie, by the immediate past manager Sir Alex Ferguson.
His disaffection for such role prompted several transfer speculations linking him away from Old Trafford over the summer.
The new manager has managed to restore the 27-year-old back to his preferred position and he has been in terrific form, scoring five times.
“You can see I’m playing and I’m happy in my football,” Rooney told reporters at England’s training ground ahead of Friday’s World Cup clash against Montenegro.
“David Moyes has come in and he’s playing me up front and I’m enjoying it.

“I really have been happy all summer. From the outside looking in, it might not seem like it but I’ve been settled.”
Last season’s fall-out with the retired Scot was triggered by the player’s inability to play regularly up front, and also, playing second fiddle. He became unsettled at the club and endured a summer of uncertainty and rumours.
All the while he acted professionally, eventually drawing plaudits from some of his pairs and coaches over the manner with which he went about his business amid the torrid times.
“I didn’t feel I got a consistent run of games up front,” Rooney, who joined the Manchester outfit in 2004 from Everton, said.
