Playing in a slightly deeper role to the previous season, Rooney added: “I am actually quite enjoying it. Although last season I scored more goals, I wasn’t getting involved in the game.
As a football player, you want to be involved and setting things up. I am happy to take on the responsibility. When you set a goal up it is a great feeling. It is up there with scoring certainly.”
Mexican Javier Hernández is certainly benefiting from the support, as the young striker has notched up an impressive 16 goals in his first season with United.
