Manchester United FC: Wayne Rooney has grown up says Park Ji-Sung

Manchester United FC: PARK JI-SUNG says it was only a matter of time before Wayne Rooney blossomed into a world-class talent.

Having been with Manchester United since 2005, Park has seen at close quarters the startling progress Rooney has made.

He now stands just 10 goals adrift of Cristiano Ronaldo’s staggering haul of 42 two seasons ago and still has up to 13 matches left to reach it.

United team-mate Park said: “People regard him as one of the best players in the world and that is absolutely right.

“He has scored so many goals this season it is incredible.

“But everyone always knew he had the talent and ability to do it, so it is not a surprise.

“He was young before. He just needed experience. This season he has grown up.”
