Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney has praised his side's away form following their 5-0 win over Fulham on Wednesday evening.

The reigning champions have recorded seven wins and two draws on the road to date this season, as many as they managed in the entirety of last season.

"It is an amazing turnaround. Last season we only dropped two points at home but struggled away. This season we've already dropped five at home but we're making up for that away," Rooney told The Sun.

Rooney, 26, also admitted that he was pleased with the team's performance against Fulham.

"It was a great win for us," he added. "We played very well and took our chances – which is good away from home – and it was nice to get on the scoresheet too."

United could move top of the Premier League with victory over Wigan on Monday afternoon.
