Real Sociedad coach David Moyes has revealed how he reignited Wayne Rooney's career at Manchester United.

Moyes worked with Rooney last season before his dismissal.

He told the Sunday Times: "I felt he'd lost a bit of his fight.

"The thing about Wayne was he was always a fighter; he's a technically terrific footballer, can do anything with the ball, but behind it he's a tough boy, a street fighter in his football, and I felt he'd lost a bit of that.

"I think he agreed and probably thought, 'Wait a minute, I have to go back to being a bit more aggressive, a bit more myself'."
