"In the last three games I have scored three goals all inside the six-yard box.[LNB]"It is something I have been working on, obviously Dimitar and Carlos like to play a bit deeper so I have had to change a little bit and thankfully I am getting the benefits of it now."[LNB]Rooney also hailed the contribution of Paul Scholes in the victory over Fulham.[LNB]Scholes set United on their way with his first Premier League goal of the season and he ran the show against Roy Hodgson's men.[LNB]The veteran midfielder was praised by United boss Ferguson after the game and Rooney admitted Scholes was a joy to watch at Old Trafford.[LNB]"I thought it was brilliant [Scholes' goal] and I thought Scholesy was outstanding," admitted Rooney.
