Fergie unconcerned by Rooney drought

ALEX FERGUSON insists he is not concerned at Wayne Rooney’s continuing goal drought.

The Manchester United striker has still not scored for his club in open play since March and the barren run continued in yesterday’s 2-0 win over Sunderland at Old Trafford.

Instead it is Dimitar Berbatov grabbing the headlines and another double for the Bulgarian took his tally to 13.

However, Ferguson is delighted with Rooney’s overall contribution and has no fears for the England hit-man.

“Wayne had a couple of tries today,” reflected the United boss.

“He was very unlucky with the chip and there were a couple of shots saved by the goalkeeper. He is getting there. The important thing is he is playing well.”
