Michael Carrick is impressed by Wayne Rooney's form in Manchester United's midfield.
Carrick has not been surprised by Rooney's impressive displays in the position, but says comparisons with fellow attacking midfielder Paul Scholes, who Carrick played alongside for many years, are unfair.
"Wayne has just got quality about him, he's just a good footballer with his passing, knowledge of the game, his creation of chances and scoring goals," Carrick told MUTV. "He's an all-round good player, better than good obviously, he's got a lot of skills that most players don't have.
"You can compare them in a way but it's such an easy thing to say. Both players are their own players in their own right and have their own qualities. Scholesy was such a fantastic goalscoring midfielder. With Wayne being the natural goalscorer he is and playing in midfield there is a similarity, but I don't think you can compare them as they're so different."
