Man Utd midfielder Cleverley: Rooney not backward coming forward!

Manchester United midfielder Tom Cleverley admits Wayne Rooney has no problem getting his point across.

Cleverley, 23, knows more than most what it is like to get it in the neck from the man nicknamed Wazza. He experiences it on a regular basis at United's Carrington training ground..

Midfielder Cleverley said: "When you want to win so badly you'll do anything and if people need telling Wazza's not afraid to do that, even in training. If I'm on his team and we're not winning he'll let me know. But I'm quite good at taking criticism - if it's constructive..

"If someone like Wayne Rooney is giving you good advice - or shouting good advice at you - I will take it on board..

"He was quite vocal in the dressing room before the San Marino game, chipping in with points to improve the team."
