Manchester United captain Wayne Rooney is enjoying his leadership role.
Rooney gave pre-match team talks before the wins over Tottenham and Liverpool.
He told manutd.com: "I've always been quite vocal in the dressing room before games and I felt at the time it was right for me, after we'd lost to Arsenal in the cup, to put a few points across to the players which I thought might help the team.
"I'm not saying that's why we won the games against Tottenham and Liverpool! [Laughs] But it certainly didn't cause any harm doing it. It just felt like the right time for me to say something."
