Liverpool legend Alan Hansen says Wayne Rooney�s temper could wreck the career of the Manchester United star. Hansen explained in his column for the Telegraph: �Rooney may have been frustrated during the Montenegro game, but he was stupid to do what he did against a side who were no better than a pub team. �When he returns to Manchester United on Monday morning, however, there can be no thoughts of, �let�s forget about it because it happened with England�. That is because Rooney has now put even more pressure on himself and, as a result, his team. �Opposing players, supporters and even referees will be targeting Rooney now more than ever because he has shown again that he remains prone to being let down by his suspect temperament. �United go to Anfield to face Liverpool on Saturday, so there will be no hiding place for him. As United�s best player, and also an Evertonian, it must be a wonderful prospect to have to go to Anfield at the end of a bad week! �Sir Alex will be conscious of what awaits Rooney this weekend, but he will deal with it privately and make sure the player is prepared for the occasion. But wherever he plays, Rooney knows he will be targeted because the nature of the game is to exploit any possible weakness.�
