Rooney needs the devil to perform at his best: Beckham

London, Mar.27 (ANI): England midfielder Wayne Rooney needs the devil in him to perform at his best, claims former captain David Beckham.

"You don't get the exceptional talent and player you have without that side of Wayne's game. If you take that away he becomes a different player, a different animal. Obviously, if Wayne wanted to talk to me about that, he would. We're good enough friends and teammates," The Sun quoted Becks, as saying.

"I've got no concerns about Wayne whatsoever. It comes hand in hand, you don't get the player he is without the temperament and attitude," he added. (ANI)
