Arsenal forward Danny Welbeck has insisted that former teammate Wayne Rooney will get back to his best for Manchester United in the near future.
Rooney has scored just one Premier League goal so far this season, and the forward's starting role for both club and country has been questioned by critics in recent weeks.
However, Welbeck believes that the England captain will come good for United once again as Louis van Gaal's side prepare to return to Premier League action.
"He has just broken the England record," Welbeck told The National.
"People are entitled to their own opinions, but we know what kind of player he is. I am sure soon enough he will be banging in the goals again.
"He is right up there, obviously [with the best players I have played with]. Growing up at United and training with him day-in, day-out you learn a lot from him."
United travel to Goodison Park to meet Everton on Saturday.
