I have played there a few times throughout my career and I can play that position," Rooney told reporters. "I have played and watched Paul Scholes play that role for years and I always knew that one day that is where I would play, so I have tried to learn and watch what he did."It is still early days, but hopefully, if I keep playing there, I can develop and get better. "We have got a lot of pace in the team now and I think I can read the game quite well - whether to go forward or stay deeper and leave the space for the other lads."Obviously it is down to the manager, and for the team more importantly it is the right thing to do at this moment in time."</blockquote>
