London, Nov 1: Manchester United great Bobby Charlton says he has been advising Wayne Rooney on how to curb his fiery temper on the pitch.


The burley striker will miss the entire group stage of the 2012 European Championship after receiving a three-game ban for kicking a player during England's last qualifier against Montenegro.

Charlton, now a Manchester United director, says: “He does what he does sometimes and I wonder whether he thinks about it ... but he learned the lesson and he'll take the punishment.”

Charlton—the record goal scorer for England and United—said Rooney is “very receptive to good advice.”

He adds that Rooney is “the sort of lad who likes to be told if he's made a mistake. He knows he's made a mistake.”
