Wayne Rooney is a huge asset for Manchester United to call upon right now to clinch the Europa League trophy.
Everyone knows about Jose Mourinho’s injury problems, but United have a serial winner in the dressing room to help get them past Celta Vigo in the semi-finals.
There has been a lot of talk in the media that this will be Rooney’s last season at Old Trafford. If that’s the case, he will want to go out with that Europa League trophy under his arm.
These are the moments when the squad at any club is tested and you have to perform — whether you’re a young lad coming through or someone who has been waiting patiently for an opportunity.
You have to show your worth, show why you were brought to the club in the first place and been working hard all these months.
