"I have to focus, work hard, of course, and I've done that throughout my career. I've worked hard and tried to do my best for the team." Rooney accepts that criticism is par for the course when United lose three on the trot and says the team can do nothing but work harder to prove people wrong."That's football, I think," he added. "We don't win in three games and, of course, everyone is going to talk about it. "We had a bad week, a bad eight days where we’ve lost three games, and it's important now we react well to that and come through that."</blockquote>
