Rooney told BBC Sport: "I met Denis quite a few times, and he has always been helpful. He has given me lots of advice over the years, and I was very fortunate that Denis presented me with the number 10 shirt.
"Initially, I was number eight and when Ruud van Nistelrooy left, Denis presented me with the number 10 shirt, which was a huge honour to have a club legend present me with that shirt.
"When I was younger, he was a bit before my time to watch Denis, but when you join a football club you do a lot of learning about the club and Denis was one of the main players that you looked up and learned about his career."
