Wayne Rooney received strong support from Manchester United great Peter Schmeichel on Thursday. Former Manchester United goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel defended striker Wayne Rooney and said the captain's overall contribution was undervalued.

The 29-year-old ended his goalless run with a hat-trick in United's 4-0 win at Club Brugge in their UEFA Champions League play-off second leg on Wednesday.

Manchester United's lack of goalscoring threat was again in evidence as they were held to a 0-0 draw by Newcastle United on Saturday.

Wayne Rooney's struggles in front of goal continued as Manchester United were held to a 0-0 Premier League draw by Newcastle United at Old Trafford.

Much has been made of Rooney's poor form in the opening stages of the season and, barring a bright opening 20 minutes or so, the United captain again toiled in his lone striking role on Saturday.

Rooney Confident Of Rediscovering Form

Wayne Rooney believes the criticism directed at him for the lack of goals for Manchester United is unwarranted and is confident he will soon rediscover his scoring touch.

The England striker has drawn a blank in each of United's three games against Tottenham Hotspur, Aston Villaand Club Bruges, despite being deployed as a central striker by manager Louis Van Gaal.

Rooney has not found the back of the net in eight Premier League games for his club, and last scored in their 3-1 win over Aston Villa on April 12.

Adnan Januzaj Rescues United As Depay & Rooney Fumbles Against Aston Villa

Six months after he last started for Manchester United, Adnan Januzaj was the hero against Aston Villa on Friday night as a second consecutive 1-0 win took them momentarily to top of the Premier League.

But the nature of United’s football at the moment is nowhere near as convincing as their place at the summit might suggest. A return of just three shots on target in 180 minutes of football will rarely earn a side six points as it has United so far in 2015-16.

Besides Januzaj’s neatly-taken finish from an excellent Juan Mata through-ball there was little else to write home about when it came to United’s play in the final third. While they enjoyed plenty of possession, it rarely looked likely to provide a springboard to a huge win.

Man United: Buying A Striker Not Top Priority

Louis van Gaal insists buying a striker is not a priority for Manchester United this summer.
