Rooney learning how to behave

Wayne Rooney, under fire for his part in a club brawl in an international week and under pressure to clean up his act, says he still has a lot to learn.

Rooney, who leads the England attack against Azerbaijan at St James' Park tonight, has revealed that his two main role models at Manchester United are the Neville brothers, Gary and Phil.

He said: "There are a lot of people around who want to help me and I try to take advantage of that. You are always wanting to learn as a professional footballer, how people do things on and off the pitch. I know I've still got a lot to learn. Gary and Phil Neville, for example, they do everything right. They eat all the right food and do all the right training. They are the perfect pros."

Rooney is looking to improve his England goal tally against Azerbaijan tonight but remains realistic. He said: "I look at it as a chance to score a few goals but really you don't care who scores as long as you get a result. The more the game went on against Northern Ireland the better we got. We knew that as soon as we got one goal we'd get a few more. Tonight will probably be similar."

After Azerbaijan's 8-0 defeat against Poland on Saturday, Rooney admits the England fans will be looking for a similarly spectacular show. "We were all a bit shocked when we heard that scoreline," he said.

"We're hoping it might have taken a lot out of Azerbaijan. People will expect us to do the same but all we are concerned with is coming away with the three points."
