da stake casino: Manchester United manager David Moyes has revealed he has set Wayne Rooney a target of 30 goals for the season, reports the Guardian.
da realsbet: Moyes also claimed the forward should form a devastating partnership with Robin van Persie, after both were on target during Saturday’s 2-0 win over Crystal Palace at Old Trafford.
However it was Rooney – playing in a headband to protect the wound that has ruled the forward out for the past fortnight – who really impressed, sealing the victory with a sublime free kick.
It appears the first steps towards repairing his relationship with the club’s supporters has been taken, after the England striker angered many by attempting to engineer a summer move away from Old Trafford.
Although Moyes believes the summer transfer saga has been forgotten, and Saturday’s goal will prove to be the first of many this season.
“It has been so stop-start through pre-season to get him to this situation. I think that for him it was a big moment. It was a great free-kick as well. The ability to get the ball up and down over the wall quickly was good,” Moyes said.
Last season was arguably Rooney’s most disappointing in a Manchester United shirt, with the forward finding himself in and out of the team, and often deployed in midfield.
Moyes has revealed that will not be the case this time around, and will be hoping Rooney can almost double his tally of 16 last season by hitting 30 goals.
“I can only see Wayne playing up top and playing as a forward for us,” Moyes said.
“He has scored a lot of goals. It was down last year. But to be successful you need to have people who can score you 20 goals. I am hoping with Robin and Wayne you have two there who you would say they have it in them to do that.”
