Wayne Rooney insists the future is bright for Manchester United despite their inconsistent form under manager Louis van Gaal.
Striker
Rooney, who was appointed captain by the Dutch boss in the summer,
could not prevent Leicester turning over the Red Devils on Sunday.
A 3-1 lead for United slipped away as Leicester claimed a stunning 5-3 victory at the King Power Stadium. critics
United stand 12th in the Barclays Premier League after five matches, already eight points behind leaders Chelsea.
Expectations
of a major improvement after last season's seventh-placed finish have
been formed on the basis of the appointment of the experienced Van Gaal
and the recruitment of players including Angel Di Maria, Daley Blind,
Radamel Falcao, Luke Shaw and Ander Herrera.
And
Rooney is convinced the blossoming of the team will materialise, taking
issue with those doubting United's ability to respond to their current
frustration.
Rooney
wrote on his Facebook page: 'There seems to be a lot of people who have
written us off because of Sunday's result but I don't see it that way.
'When
I look around our dressing room and see the quality we have and the
manager's unbelievable attention to detail I have no doubts this team
will be successful.'
Earlier,
former United defender Phil Neville predicted this summer's big
spending would need to be repeated in future transfer windows before the
club can again be seen as title contenders.
