Rangers and Tottenham legend Paul Gascoigne says Manchester United star Wayne Rooney is a marvel.

Gazza told the Daily Mail: "I know now that I couldn't handle watching it because it reminded me of what I didn't have. Now I can marvel at Wayne Rooney. He's the next captain of Manchester United.

"There's nothing that boy cannot do, but he should smile a little more, show us he's enjoying it like we're enjoying him. Steven Gerrard is another who needs some help dealing with the pressure of winning matches. Smile, lad, you can really play. I wish I could play with him, help with the load.

"For different reasons, I like watching Didier Drogba. When you see him playing up alone against four brutes and he's taking them on - I'm glad I didn't have to play against him. He's a beast."
