Chris Smalling has backed Wayne Rooney to bounce back from being dropped for Manchester United's 4-1 rout of Leicester City.

The United captain has faced heavy criticism following an indifferent
start to season and manager Jose Mourinho opted to bench him against
the Premier League champions.
The Red Devils were superb in the absence of Rooney, who made a late
cameo as a substitute, scoring four first-half goals to leave Leicester
shell-shocked.
Mourinho later offered his backing to Rooney, though, and Smalling -
who acted as stand-in captain - says the 30-year-old was not affected by
the decision and is sure his club and England team-mate will come back
strong.
"Wayne did not appear down. He was the same before the game when we
were all getting ready. He is often one of the most vocal and he was the
same," Smalling told reporters.
