Wayne Rooney looking forward to his “role model” position at Manchester United – English Premier League
Wayne Rooney spoke to the media in his recent interview and expressed his willingness to act as a role model to the young players at Old Trafford this season. Manchester United’s squad went through a bit of an overhaul in the summer
when http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 parted ways with Wes Brown and John O’Shea thus the Red Devils’ squad is considerably younger this time around.
Moreover the arrival of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Danny-Welbeck-c10233 has lowered the average age of the Manchester United squad.
Due to these reasons, Wayne Rooney is now being looked at as a role model at Old Trafford rather than an emerging star. Last season as a tough one for the Merseyside born striker but Manchester United made it to the UEFA Champions
League final nonetheless and lost to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Wayne-Rooney-c36736 scored at Wembley.
Speaking to the press in his recent interview, Rooney said, "We've got a lot of young players in the team. You know the young players will come in, look at you and see what you're doing, see how you are on the training pitch.
It's great for the manager to say that [Rooney has been training well], but I feel that I've always trained the same. I've always worked hard and played the same on the pitch. I think if I'm not happy with something I've always let it known.”
He added, "I think that's good for the young players to see that you care and you want to win. People don't realise how hard it is to make it as a professional footballer and to stay there. Everyone wants your place, there are
so many people trying and you need to make sure you stay at the top of your game.” Manchester United next play http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 at the Anfield stadium in the English Premier League after the international break comes to a close.
