ST ALBANS (United Kingdom): Wayne Rooney may no longer be the main man at Manchester United and there are persistent rumours he may leave Old Trafford in a bid to find regular football but England manager Roy Hodgson has re-iterated his belief in the striker.
Rooney, despite winning the title for his club side in England, has endured a difficult season in which he was left out of big matches by his manager Alex Ferguson – including a Champions League tie against Real Madrid – and often overshadowed by new signing Robin van Persie.
