Having succeeded the sacked Louis van Gaal in May, Mourinho is looking to make the Old Trafford outfit a major force once again. And in terms of Rooney's potential role in that, the new manager has indicated he intends to use the 30-year-old, who has dropped into a deeper midfield position, as part of his attack.


Rooney told Inside United magazine: "I'm really excited to be working with Jose this season as he's one of the best managers in the world.

"It's an exciting time for Manchester United. I've always respected him both as a man and a manager, he's a nice guy and one of the most successful managers.

He added: "I've played against many Mourinho sides over the years and I can't remember any easy games, so I think that says it all. His teams are always hard to beat, tactically disciplined and, most importantly, successful. He'll bring all these qualities with him and one of the biggest assets will be his experience.

"He's managed a lot of successful teams throughout his career and all that experience will be vital."
