“Fabio Capello claims Wayne Rooney has the potential to rule the world and lead England to long overdue glory.
The Italian coach is one of the Manchester United striker’s biggest fans and insists there are no limits to what he can achieve in the game.
Capello says he reminds him of Spanish legend Raul and is so versatile in his play he could comfortably accommodate him in numerous positions on the field.
It is no coincidence that the shackles seem to have been firmly removed from Rooney following the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo to Real Madrid.
And both Sir Alex Ferguson and Capello expect him to have a huge impact on the club and countries respective campaigns this season.
“Rooney is an incredible player, very versatile, he can play everywhere on the pitch and has the potential to be one of the best players in the world.
“He is a huge talent and what is really frightening is he can improve a lot with more experience and confidence in himself.
“He can improve in everything and there are no limits to what he can achieve.
“What really impresses me is his work rate and willingness to learn and improve.
“When he’s with me he remains on the pitch after training sessions to do lots of additional work with the ball. He’s hungry and always wants to improve.
“He reminds me of the Real Madrid and Spanish striker Raul because they have the same style of play in similar positions.
“But it’s really incredible to think he is just going to get better and better.""
