Wayne Rooney has expressed his eagerness to work under Jose Mourinho- the new manager of Manchester United next season.The English skipper who is ready to prove his worth to the new boss also branded the ‘Special One’  a tactician and successful coach who will turn things around at Old Trafford.

He told  Manchester United magazine, “I’m really excited to be working with Jose this season as he’s one of the best managers in the world. It’s an exciting time for Manchester United. I’ve always respected him both as a man and a manager, he’s a nice guy and one of the most successful managers of all time. I like to think I’m always motivated as a player but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t a bit more motivated when a new manager comes in. I’m sure all the lads will be happy to be working under Jose and also eager to impress.

“I’ve played against many Mourinho sides over the years and I can’t remember any easy games, so I think that says it all. His teams are always hard to beat, tactically disciplined and, most importantly, successful.

“He’ll bring all these qualities with him and I’m sure he’ll have his own ideas, but one of the biggest assets will be his experience. He’s managed a lot of successful teams throughout his career and all that experience will be vital.”
