Wayne Rooney: I can play in midfield
WAYNE Rooney believes he can be the answer to Manchester United's midfield problems.
He said: "I played there a lot when I was younger. I have said before I am good enough to play anywhere on the pitch and that is not just being big-headed.
"I am capable of doing that so, if the manager wants me to do it, I will."
Michael Owen limped off after 11 minutes with a thigh problem. "I really feel for him," said manager Sir Alex Ferguson.
