Hopefully I can do that this season.”Rooney did not have the best of campaigns last season. He played as the main striker for a while with little success and was then forced to watch from the sidelines halfway through the season with an injury.When he came back Louis Van Gaal used him as the team’s playmaker where he had considerable success.
