Rooney: Mourinho has rebooted Man Utd's winning mentality

The England captain has praised his club manager for providing United with a winning edge once again as they strive for a top-four finish

Wayne Rooney believes Jose Mourinho has helped Manchester United reboot their winning mentality.

Rooney led United to the last of their 20 English titles in Sir Alex Ferguson's final season in 2012-13, yet the subsequent years under David Moyes and Louis van Gaal have been jarringly barren by comparison.

Van Gaal did win the FA Cup as a swansong at the end of last season before making way for Mourinho, who oversaw an indifferent start to the current campaign.
