Milan, Feb 18 : England midfielder David Beckham has backed red-hot striker Wayne Rooney to fire the national towards World Cup glory.
Rooney has scored 25 goals so far this season and Beckham believes that the 24-year-old is out to prove he is the best player in the world.
“Burnout won''t be a problem. Wayne is ready for any game. It doesn''t matter how many matches he''s played or will be involved in until the end of the season - he''ll be ready,” The Sun quoted Beckham, as saying.
“Of course, he can sustain that level until the middle of July. He is only 24 - he should be able to. Wayne looks after himself and works hard. The way he plays on the field is how he plays in training - and that''s why he''s so good,” he added.
The duo faced each other in the AC Milan-Man U game at Milan on Tuesday, which was swept in Manchester United’s favour by Rooney''s destructive skills.
Rooney’s two goals steered United to a 3-2 Champions League win, their first win at the San Siro.
Talking about Rooney’s performance in the game, Beckham said: “Wayne was exceptional. You give him chances and he''ll score. That is the way he is. That is the way his mind works.”
“I hope he''s a contender for World Player of the Year and European Player of the Year. I''d love to see him win every possible title,” he added. (ANI)
