Rooney goes the extra mile

WAYNE ROONEY is hoping some extra training will help trigger a revival in form.

Since returning from domestic and international suspensions earlier this month the Manchester United striker has struggled to reach anything like the level of performance which has been a hallmark of his fledgling career.

Rooney cut a disconsolate figure in Lisbon on Tuesday when, stationed on the left wing, he barely made any impact in United’s Champions League triumph over Benfica.
