The 28-year-old scored twice against Bayer
Leverkusen in the Champions League but the
Red Devils boss admits that he is unsure as to
the striker's state of mind
Manchester United manager David Moyes
admits that he is not sure whether Wayne
Rooney is happy at Old Trafford.
The England striker scored twice and grabbed
an assist as the Red Devils swept past Bayer
Leverkusen 4-2 on Tuesday night, enthusing
after the game that he was delighted to have
scored 200 goals for the club .
But when questioned on the 28-year-old's
current state of mind, Moyes revealed that he
does not know how his forward feels - only
that he has looked sharp in training and during
matches.
"I don't know," the United boss told ITV Sport .
"I just know that he's been great in training,
he's worked really hard, he's fit, he looks fit
and lean and he showed in his performance [on
Tuesday] again.
"I've only seen a few goals, I'm only just here.
I said a month ago he's got a chance to join
the real greats here with his goalscoring
record.
"I thought his goals [against Leverkusen] were
great, he got round the goalkeeper and that
could've been the hat-trick, obviously his
second at the time, but he deserved the
ovation that he got, his performance was
terrific."
The 50-year-old also reserved praise for the
partnership that Rooney is developing with
fellow striker Robin van Persie - who also
scored against the German outfit.
"I think they're both such good players -
Robin's goal as well was great," Moyes added.
"Robin could have had another one as well.
"I said a week or so ago if we could get those
two scoring the goals and the ratio through
the season then they'd be formidable and
obviously it would help get us as many points
as we can.
"It was a good night. We did a lot of good
things, missed a couple of chances which kept
it a little bit anxious at one or two moments
but good job."
