But Rooney believes it is his hard work that is starting to pay off.
“I’m really pleased with my form,” said Rooney. “I’ve probably not had a better week in professional football.
“I’ve played well for England, got four goals and we won both games. I’ve scored again for United and we’ve won, so I’m really pleased and, hopefully, I can keep playing like this.
“I’ve said I’d like to score more consistently and, hopefully, I can start to do that now.
“I’ve worked on every part of my game and, thankfully, it’s starting to pay off.
“I know I can play better. I know I can get better, so I’ve got to keep working on the training ground and, hopefully, there will be better performances to come.”
