Former Manchester United star Wayne Rooney cautioned young Arsenal midfielder Max Dowman that senior players and manager Mikel Arteta will ensure he remains focused despite his recent 2-0 Premier League goal against Everton. Rooney praised Dowman's confidence and ability to take on defenders but emphasized that Arsenal's experienced players will prevent him from getting ahead of himself. The 16-year-old's historic Premier League goal came in Arsenal's weekend victory at the Emirates Stadium, with Dowman now preparing for Tuesday's Champions League clash against Bayer Leverkusen.
