Wayne Rooney admitted there was a touch of Paul Scholes about his performance as he ran the midfield in Manchester United's easy win over Newcastle United.
Rooney scored twice and set up the other goal in United's 3-1 victory at Old Trafford. The United captain, playing in midfield, timed his run from deep to perfection to turn home Falcao's square pass and it was the same story just before the break as he ran on to Juan Mata's through ball to double the lead.
The 29-year-old then rounded off a perfect Boxing Day afternoon with a fine long pass which Robin van Persie nodded past Jak Alnwick. Rooney believes his brace was reminiscent of the kind of performances by United hero Scholes, who scored many of his 155 United goals with well-timed runs from deep.
"It's a role that I've played many times and I know I can play," Rooney said when asked about playing in the No10 role behind Van Persie and Radamel Falcao. "The manager has given me even more licence to get forward and get into the box from that role.
"As Paul (Scholes) did many times over his career, he could see the ball when it was wide and see the space and run into it - I did that today with my two goals. It's nice to win, nice to score goals and I'm delighted with the performance."
In the summer Rooney said he was reluctant to start playing deeper, but he has taken to the role well since being moved there by Louis Van Gaal for the last three games. The United manager plans to keep Rooney there for some time yet, it seems.
"When you score two goals and you give the assist to the third goal, then you are happy as the manager. He is very happy also," Van Gaal said of Rooney. "He has the lung capacity to run 90 minutes as a midfielder that's why I used him also like a midfielder.
"I can also use him as a striker. For the team at the moment, it's better he plays in midfield."
