Ferguson: 'Capello asks too much of Rooney'

The greatest danger to Wayne Rooney is himself, Sir Alex Ferguson said yesterday. Manchester United’s manager believes his striker’s inability to say no – demonstrated, Ferguson argues, by Rooney playing almost the entire 90 minutes for England on Wednesday – could prove to be his downfall.

Ferguson revealed that Rooney, his main striker and England’s best hope of winning the World Cup this summer may be unfit for this afternoon’s game at Wolves because he aggravated his knee in successive games on a Wembley pitch he described as “like a ploughed field”. @Independent
