VIDEO: David Moyes showers praise on revitalised Man Utd star Wayne Rooney
MANCHESTER UNITED manager David Moyes believes Wayne Rooney is a new man this season.
Rooney celebrates his 28th birthday, having helped United to three Champions League points last night during the 1-0 victory over Real Sociedad.
And despite Sir Alex Ferguson's concerns about the England striker - which were confirmed in his recent autobiography - Moyes had no such fears about Rooney.
"I was going to say he was back to the old Wayne Rooney but it might be better to say he is the new Wayne Rooney," said Moyes.
"He came back in great condition, trained really hard.

"I really couldn't explain how hard he has worked. He has been incredible."
Moyes joked that he thought Rooney was a lot older than he truly is.
"Is he 28?" said the Scot.
"I thought he was a lot older that that."
