Sir Alex Ferguson is backing Wayne Rooney to go on another of his typical goal spurts after the United striker scored twice in the 4-1 win over Wolves.

The Merseysider ended a run of eight games without a goal with a clinically-taken double past Wayne Hennessey to ensure he has never gone nine matches without hitting the net since joining the Reds.

In 2009/2010, his most productive campaign for goals, Rooney scored in a run of four consecutive games twice and, a year earlier, he netted in seven successive fixtures for club and country. After rattling in nine strikes in United’s first five matches this term, another purple patch would be very timely with the hectic festive period approaching.

“We hope he goes on a spurt now,” Sir Alex told MUTV. “With Wayne in particular, he tends to score in spurts – for instance, early this season he scored 11 in the early part of the campaign. Now we’re heading towards an important part of the season and if we get that sort of goal ratio from Wayne again that will put us in good fettle.”
