DAVID MOYES believes Wayne Rooney will come good again despite his current dip in form.

| Rooney has struggled for form and goals so far this season |
The Manchester United captain has just four goals to his name this season as the Old Trafford outfit have managed only 22 goals in 19 games.
And while Rooney has copped much of the flak for their slump, his former Everton and United manager Moyes has confidence in the 30-year-old.
“He’s had a long career, he’s been playing since he’s 16, he’s had immense pressure on him since he was a young boy you talk about the media and you think of the stuff that has been on Wayne all of his career and he has to keep playing and scoring and playing well," Moyes told The Clare Balding Show.
"I think he’s having a tough time just now, but I think he’ll come through it again, I think he’ll find himself again, I think there’s plenty more life in him."
An ankle injury has also kept Rooney out for part of the season, and Louis van Gaal has at times dropped his captain in an effort to find a winning combination.
And the former Everton forward has played in midfield in an effort rectify his form, a position Moyes feels he is destined for.
"Wayne can play in any position," Moyes added.
"He was great in goals – as a 16-year-old boy he would be diving about in front of the goals – he was mad at that time, but you look at the way he has matured, he is England captain, Manchester United captain.
"I think he’ll go on to be a midfield player, he’ll play again, but at the moment he’s still such a good goal scorer you don’t want to give that up just yet.”
