Manchester United legend Ole Gunnar Solskjaer sees Wayne Rooney's future in midfield.

Rooney played deeper in victory over Liverpool on Sunday.

"I think we found a new position for Wayne Rooney, every day he looks more and more like Paul Scholes," Solskjaer said.

"The difference today was on 20 minutes when Mata and Rooney adjusted their positions slightly with Mata in behind Gerrard and Allen and Rooney dropping off, getting on the ball. United needed someone to get on the ball and that's what Rooney did. "
