After putting on some dismal performances for England at the World Cup in South Africa, Wayne Rooney endured some very challenging and difficult first few months of the season. His personal life was the main topic for the press and they were all main page headlines.

Then came the controversy surrounding his transfer request and he was immensely under pressure during that time. After putting that rumor to bed, Wayne Rooney headed off to the United States in hope of regaining his fitness and while he did do that, something was missing from him. Goals.

But last Saturday, Wayne Rooney displayed great hunger and grabbed two goals for Manchester United that left Fabio Capello satisfied in the stands.

"Rooney is a fantastic player,'' Capello was quoted as saying by the Daily Express.”I have to speak with him, but the movement and passing is now good. And his head is now okay.''

After scoring two goals for Manchester United, most of the United fans will be hoping that this is kick start to Wayne Rooney's season.
