Manchester United's Wayne Rooney: 'I'm glad to be playing'

Wayne Rooney hints that his problems at Manchester United may now be behind him.

Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney has said that he is "feeling good" following an uncertain summer at Old Trafford.

The 27-year-old was said to be "angry and confused" when the Red Devils rejected two bids from Chelsea, with reports suggesting that he wanted a move away from the club.

However, new manager David Moyes repeatedly stated that the England international was not available, and the striker has repaid the Scot with three goals in four appearances so far this season.

"I've put my head down and worked hard and tried to do everything right," The Mirror quotes Rooney as saying. "I've tried to show the right attitude, I've always felt that's a really important thing to do.

"I've had some good training the last few weeks. It's been stop-start with the injuries, but I've just kept my head down and worked hard and now I've played and got some goals.

"The training is a bit different under the new manager - I remember it from Everton, it's more intense. That's helping me. I feel good and am glad to be out playing."

Rooney scored twice in United's 4-2 win over Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League on Tuesday.
