Ryan Giggs is adamant Wayne Rooney will recapture his goalscoring form from last season after finally getting off the mark.

The Manchester United striker was on an extended goal drought, having not scored in 13 games for both club and country.

But he finally put an end to it after scoring from the spot in United's 3-0 win over West Ham last Saturday.

And now Giggs has no doubts Rooney will start firing on all cylinders and help the club reclaim their Premier League title from Chelsea.

"It's only the third game of the season, and he's only played in two of them," the Welshman told United's official website.

"But a goalscorer is a goalscorer and, especially with the season he had last year, he was keen to get off the mark.

"I'm sure he'll start putting the ball away quite regularly now."

However, Giggs insists that the goalscoring burden must not lie solely on the shoulders of Rooney and he was particularly impressed by Dimitar Berbatov and Nani's goals on Saturday against West Ham.

"We can't just rely on Wayne like we did last season," he told MUTV.

"Berba has started on fire - in the games so far, he's had a lot of chances and he's putting them away.

"But everyone needs to chip in, midfielders, defenders, everyone. As a team, we need to score a lot more goals from different areas on the pitch."

The United veteran, who has scored in every single Premier League season he has played in, has been encouraged by United's start to the campaign, despite losing two points against Fulham.

"We'd have liked nine points out of nine, but it's not to be," he added.

"In our two homes games, we've played some really good stuff which is pleasing.

"We know we could be in a better position, but the last two years we've lost at Fulham, so maybe we should look at that as a point gained."
