Default Re: [Legend] Sammy McIlroy



REDS LEGEND ON ROONEY'S NEW ROLE

Manchester United legend Sammy McIlroy analysed Wayne Rooney's position and performance at Wembley when he joined Helen Evans on MUTV for Monday night's Big Match Debrief.

The two compatriots from Northern Ireland discussed the action that unfurled during Saturday’s Emirates FA Cup semi-final triumph and, in our video clip above, focused on Rooney’s deeper midfield role.

Assessing why Louis van Gaal had not deployed his captain in attack, Sammy stated: "You can’t drop the young boy [Marcus Rashford] with the goals he's scored and the way he's playing."

Rooney therefore sat deeper in the side and former midfielder McIlroy, who won three of his four FA Cup semi-finals for United, feels it's a role the skipper "will really enjoy playing."

The Reds legend added: "We've seen spells of Wayne playing deep before but Saturday's performance from our leader was concrete. His energy, for a player who's been out for such a long time, was fantastic."
