Moyes says Rooney fast becoming Man U's 'big leader'

Manchester United manager David Moyes has said that striker Wayne Rooney is fast becoming the club's leader and that he has got leadership qualities that make him a man when he is on the pitch.

According to the Mirror, the England star was integral to United's early blitz, setting up Antonio Valencia's opener, then tapping in the third, either side of a typical Robin van Persie finish against Fulham.

However, for Moyes, Rooney could have done more and he said that the star was a big leader in the team now.

Moyes added that Rooney was desperate for the team to be successful, adding that a successful team helps him as well.
