England boss Fabio Capello says Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney will develop into a world class goal scorer - he just needs to be patient.

"Wayne Rooney is in fantastic form at the moment," said Capello.

"He is scoring a lot of goals, and his movement and pace are excellent. He runs; he comes back to win the ball. He does everything. He is an example to the other players.

"But it is possible for him to be better.

"I spoke with him when I first became England manager and told him technically he was very good.

"There are no problems with the head or feet. But when he arrives in front of the goal, sometimes he shoots too quickly.

"He has to be more patient, take things more slowly and understand what is happening around him. Then he will get more goals." "Wayne is an extraordinary player," added Capello.

"He can play left or right and still scores goals. He got a good one against Bolton when he played on the left wing. Not many people can do that."
