Veteran goalkeeper Edwin Van der Sar claims nobody at Manchester United has any doubts over Wayne Rooney despite the striker's recent barren spell.

The 21-year-old hasn't scored for ten games, but the Dutch keeper claims he wouldn't be surprised to see Rooney break his run against Bolton Wanderers on Saturday.

"Nobody here has any doubts about Wayne," he said.

"People regard him very highly and expect a lot of him, but even if he was to play 55 games a season, as soon as he goes through a spell where he is not scoring or makes a couple of wrong decisions, people get on his back.

"We all know how it works in England. You just have to see past it."
