Rooney wakes-up all his work-Moyes.

Manchester United manager David
Moyes believes Wayne Rooney has
only himself to thank for his
impressive start to the season.
Rooney's pre-season was shrouded in
uncertainty, with retired United
manager Alex Ferguson claiming he
wanted to leave Old Trafford as the
England striker was the subject of a
string of failed bids from Chelsea.
Ferguson has subsequently stated
Rooney would have played on a
regular basis at the end of last season
if he was producing the form he is
currently showing.
Rooney, 28 on Thursday, has scored
five goals for United this season and
praised Moyes's methods and
philosophy after the 1-0 Champions
League win over Real Sociedad in
midweek, having started his career
under the Scot when they were both
at Everton.
Doubts about Rooney's future are set
to continue until such time as he
signs a new deal given his current
contract expires at the end of next
season.
But while Moyes was not able to offer
any update on Rooney's contract, he
said he'd been delighted with the
striker's recent form.
"I don't think it's me or anyone else,
it's Wayne Rooney," Moyes told a
news conference on Friday.
"He was the one that had to make
sure he's the best he can be, in the
best condition he can be, and he's
made sure he's done that.
"He's got himself in good nick, his
talent is unquestionable, physically
he's very good, mentally he's in a
good place and his form's been very
good.
"I don't know if there's any more
been said (about Rooney's contract)
but you can see on the pitch he's
playing very well.
"It's been great working with Wayne
because he's an excellent footballer. I
get asked the questions every week
but I've told you from day one that
he's been great.
"His training's been great, he was
very good in the game in midweek
and we want his form to continue, for
him to keep scoring goals and I'm
pleased with the way Wayne's doing.
"He's a big plus for us just now."
Jonny Evans and Phil Jones have
played at centre-back for United's last
two matches, a 1-1 draw against
Southampton and the win over
Sociedad, in the absence of Rio
Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic, who
both remain doubtful for the English
champions Premier League match at
home to Stoke on Saturday.
United's defensive issues have been
brought into sharper focus by
problems at the other end of the field,
where they have managed just 11
goals in eight Premier League
matches so far this season.
They are now an unusually low
eighth in the table and are eight
points adrift of league leaders
Arsenal.
But Moyes, who is likely to welcome
back star striker Robin van Persie
against Stoke following a toe injury,
feels Evans and Jones were looking
solid.
"They're good young players but
they're England internationals
(Jones) and Northern Ireland
internationals (Evans). "They're well
experienced.
"You know if you're not scoring
bundles of goals you have to make
sure you're not conceding any and
the last couple of games we haven't
done too badly.
"We conceded in the 90th minute
against Southampton and obviously
we kept a clean sheet the other night
and we're pleased about that.
"It's a big part of the game that you
don't want to concede any goals but
in the same breath we would like to
score more so we're not putting
ourselves in that position," Moyes
added.
