Rooney still has plenty to offer and remains a key
figure for Manchester United.
David Beckham is confident Wayne Rooney will overcome his
recent struggles and feels the Manchester United and England
captain still has plenty to offer.
Rooney has netted just once in seven Premier League outings
so far this campaign and has received his fair share of criticism
in recent weeks.
But Beckham is adamant that his former England team-
mate remains a key figure for United, and believes he could be
employed in a deeper role in the future.
"I don't think you can ever write off a player that's scored the
number of goals he has for England and Manchester United," ex-
United and Real Madrid star Beckham said.
"Being the player he is and has been over the years, you can
never write off someone like that. Players like that can always
make you eat your words.
"When you get older, you have to adapt your play. [Ryan] Giggs
was a prime example. He got to a certain age and then he
dropped into midfield and played that central role. I think Wayne
will do the same.
"He's an out-and-out goalscorer, but I think at the end of the
day with Wayne, he's proved he can step into the midfield and
play. If you're comfortable on the ball, as players such as
Wayne and Giggsy are you can do that."
