DON'T ROOIN HIM MAC
Warnock's warning on Wayne
By David Anderson
NEIL WARNOCK has warned Steve McClaren to stop messing Wayne Rooney around - and build the England team around The King.
McClaren tinkered with 3-5-2 and 4-3-3 formations for the past two internationals, something Warnock fears blunts the striker's threat.
The Sheffield United boss believes England must use Manchester United's king of rock 'n' goal where he is at his brilliant best - as a deep-lying forward.
After seeing Rooney grab two goals playing from that position to shatter his brave Blades at Bramall Lane, Warnock said: "He's the king in my eyes and what two great finishes they were.
"He's a world-class striker. That's why England and Steve McClaren have to play him in his best position - and hope everything stays OK with him.
"I can't see a problem if he plays him in behind a front man. I think that's the best position for him.
"There are all these other formations, but if you play Rooney there you are going to score. Worry about the rest when you have to pick the team. Build a team around him."
