Rene Meulensteen, former Manchester United assistant, discussed Wayne Rooney's diminishing role on talkSPORT2's Sportsday this morning.
The Red Devils captain has been a hot topic with Premier League and England supporters this season, with his influence for club and country hitting a new low.
Jose Mourinho, in recent weeks, has dropped his team's captain from his starting line-up, and Meulensteen believes the 31-year-old will find it difficult to accept a reduced role, because he still plays with the passion he had as a teenager.
