Queiroz: give Roo a chance

MANCHESTER UNITED assistant manager Carlos Queiroz has warned an expectant public not to demand miracles from Wayne Rooney.

Since returning from suspensions which effectively ruled him out of six games for club and country this season, Rooney has been below par by his own high standards. So ineffective was the 20-year-old in last weekend’s home defeat to Arsenal that he was hauled off before the end by Alex Ferguson.

At the time, Rooney did not seem impressed, although he has since admitted his present form is some way below his own expectations.
