Wayne Rooney received strong support from Manchester United great Peter Schmeichel on Thursday.
Former Manchester United goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel defended striker Wayne Rooney and said the captain's overall contribution was undervalued.
The 29-year-old ended his goalless run with a hat trick in United's 4-0 win at Club Brugge in a UEFA Champions League playoff second leg Wednesday.
While Rooney's wait for a Premier League goal this season continues, United great Schmeichel said there was more to the England international's game.
Schmeichel, a five-time league winner with United, denied Rooney had been struggling.
"What I sometimes think is not happening is looking at what Wayne does for the team," the 51-year-old said.
