Rio Ferdinand hopes Wayne Rooney's breakthrough goal in Manchester United's victory over West Bromwich Albion silences the doubters.
Rooney stooped to nod home early on in the 2-1 triumph.
United defender Ferdinand said: "Hopefully that shuts a few people up and he can get back on with playing football and scoring goals, which is what he does best.
"We all knew the goals would come because he is such a good player. Fingers crossed he can go on a good run now."
