Wayne Rooney was delighted with his hat-trick as Manchester United continued their impressive start to the season with a 5-0 over Bolton on Saturday.

Rooney bagged his second hat-trick of the season while Javier Hernandez scored a double as the pair helped their team to a fourth successive Premier League win of the campaign.The England striker belives that the partnership will continue to blossom throughout the season.
“I’m obviously delighted to score a hat-trick, and first start with Chicharito [this season] and to both score is great,” Rooney told ESPN.
“We always know Bolton’s a difficult place to go, and we got the early goal and kicked on from there really, [we] controlled the game and could have scored more really.
The 25-year-old also mentioned how important his pre-season training workout was in relation to his current form.
He added: “I had a long time to rest and got a good pre-season under my belt. Thankfully I’ve done that, and stayed clear of injuries and obviously it’s helped me for the start of the season.”
With another impressive win for Manchester City on Saturday, Rooney believes his side should concentrate on their own form, rather than that of their rivals.
“We have to concentrate on ourselves [not Manchester City]," Rooney said. "It was a difficult game for us today, and we needed to focus on ourselves and make sure we got the win, and thankfully the win was easier than we thought, but we still had to work hard for it.”
Chicharito, like Rooney, could have scored a hat-trick, but felt the most important thing was another United victory.
“Yeah of course [I could have scored a hat-trick] but as I always say the most important thing is the result," he said. "We got three points off a very difficult visit to Bolton, and we’re delighted."
On Rooney's blistering form, Hernandez said: “Every player can play with Wayne Rooney. We know Wazza is a world class player, and he can do everything.”
