England Coach Fabio Capello believes that Wayne Rooney is slowly regaining his form. The Italian claimed that the striker has come to grips with his off-field problems, saying that Rooney is getting his head back into the game.

all competitions during the 2009-2010 campaign.
He fared no better at the club level. The Manchester United star has endured a terrible start to the season, scoring just 3 goals in all competitions for the Red Devils prior to Tuesday’s match against Aston Villa. Though his poor performances were due in
part to his ankle injury, most of the blame can be attributed to Rooney’s problems off the pitch.
The striker became the most hated man in Manchester after it was revealed last year that he wanted to leave the Red Devils. The Rooney transfer saga was brought to an end after the England international was convinced to stay at Old Trafford, but the incident
left a huge dent in Rooney’s standings amongst the United faithful. His confidence was further damaged after he found himself at the centre of an adultery scandal.
But Tuesday’s encounter against Aston Villa represents a turning point for Rooney. The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 international put in a fantastic performance for Manchester United, scoring twice to secure all three points for his side.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Fabio-c13152 Capello thinks that Rooney is showing signs of improvement, especially after his heroics against a resurgent Aston Villa. The England coach, who was present at Old Trafford on Tuesday, said, “Rooney is a fantastic player. I have to speak with him,
but the movement and passing is now good.”
Capello believes that the striker is now over the off-field problems which affected his form, adding, “And his head is now okay."
We will find out if Rooney can continue his return to form when Manchester United take on Wolverhampton Wanderers on the 5th of February.
