Wayne Rooney believes Jose Mourinho has helped Manchester United to reboot their winning mentality.
Rooney helped United to the last of their 20 English titles in Alex Ferguson s final season at the helm in 2012-13, with the subsequent David Moyes and Louis van Gaal years jarringly barren by comparison.
Van Gaal did claim FA Cup glory as a swansong at the end of last season before making way for Mourinho and an indifferent start to the current campaign followed.
But United head into Saturday s game against Watford with a 15-match unbeaten Premier League run to their name, as well as the EFL Cup final to follow against Southampton at Wembley later this month.
During this period, Rooney netted a last-minute equaliser at Stoke City to usurp Bobby Charlton as the club s all-time record goalscorer and he feels the positive impact of Mourinho – a serial trophy winner with Porto, Chelsea, Real Madrid and Inter – is there for all to see.
He s obviously a top manager all of the clubs he s been at shows that, the England captain told GQ.
