Manchester United legend, Gary Neville
said Wayne Rooney can improve as a United player.
While granting an interview on BBC,
Gary said "At the age of 26, you always have to think that there's more to
come,"
"We need to see Wayne Rooney improve and he needs
to see himself improve."
Neville added: "He's a
wonderful player, one that is at his best when he's like the street kid;
fighting for every ball, taking every free kick, every throw-in, tackling and
heading, fighting to win."
Neville pointed to the examples
Rooney can learn from in the Old Trafford dressing room if the 26-year-old is
to further his game.
"Paul Scholes and Ryan Giggs have adapted their
games," said Neville, who won eight Premier League titles, three FA Cups
and the Champions League with United.
"Ryan Giggs has gone from a flying
left winger to someone who now plays off the front at inside left as well as
central midfield.
"Paul Scholes was a goalscoring
number 10 player when he first started as a 16-year-old, now he's a holding
midfield player who controls the game.
"You have to adapt. Rooney is
still a centre forward, but he'll adapt over the next 10 years to become
someone who's thought of in that same way as those two players."
