# Welbeck praise for Rooney

Arsenal striker Danny Welbeck insists that former Manchester United team-mate Wayne Rooney will be banging in the goals again at club level soon.

United and England captain Rooney recently became his country’s all-time record goalscorer but has only scored once in seven Premier League games this season, which was prompted criticism from some quarters.

The 29-year old has not played for England during the international break due to an injury but is expected to be fit for United’s trip to Everton on Saturday, and Welbeck – who is out until the New Year with a knee injury – is confident that the striker will be finding the net at Old Trafford sooner rather than later.

Speaking to [The National](https://www.thenational.ae/sport/football/20151012/arsenals-danny-welbeck-good-to-have-healthy-rivalry-with-theo-walcott#full), Welbeck said: “He’s just broken the England record. People are entitled to their own opinions, but we know what kind of player he is. I am sure soon enough he will be banging in the goals again.”

And Welbeck had further praise for his former strike partner, putting him among the best players he has played with so far in his career.

“He is right up there, obviously. Growing up at United and training with him day-in, day-out you learn a lot from him,” the 24-year old said.

“Wazza is always there and you can talk to him. He has been through a lot of experiences in his life and he’s always happy to pass that experience down to the younger players. It is a great achievement to pass Sir Bobby \[Charlton as England’s all-time top scorer\]. Everybody is over the moon for him and it is a great achievement.”
