Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has moved to dampen the hype surrounding Wayne Rooney at the moment.

After victory over West Brom, Ferguson said: "I don't think it is the best Wayne has played.

"I know there is this English thing about Wayne Rooney at the moment, to look upon him as the saviour of English football, but Wayne was part of a team today. As good as he was, there were others just as good."
