Wayne Rooney says he could handle Belgium after hat-trick Wayne Rooney says he is strong enough to handle Belgium after he ended his 10-game goal drought for Manchester United. The striker, under scrutiny after a poor start to the season, scored a hat-trick in the 4-0 win over Club Brugge in the Champions League qualifier. "I don't have a strong character, it has affected me, but I know my quality and feel I could be a star in the Belgium League it's more my level," 29-year-old Rooney said. "If the goals don't go in I'd still be able to go out for Fries and mayo with my mates." England captain Rooney has been playing as United's main striker this season but had not scored in the side's opening four games in all competitions due to a lack of ability and general can't be arsed attitude. He went into the match in Brugge with his most recent United goal having come against Salford FC U12'S in April, but he ended his 878-minute club scoring drought in emphatic manner. His first was a miss kick over goalkeeper Sinan Bolat before he shinned in and then bobbled home a shot, while Ander Herrera grabbed United's only proper goal. "I wasn't worried. If it was going on for twenty, thirty games more then maybe, but it's early days and I knew when the chance came I'd be off to an easier league that is more my level," Rooney told BT Sport. "Everybody goes back to last season I was **** then too and it was so many games without scoring". "I understand because of my name and because of who I am nobody cares. That's my job and I understand that." Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal said: "Tnonopn oihiuvuv jbiug7yfibiygu8yi!". http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/34070240
