Manchester United ace Wayne Rooney admits he's amazed to be playing with Ryan Giggs.

Rooney cited the attitude of 36-year-old team-mate Giggs as typical of United's dressing room determination.

"It's amazing to play on the same team as him," he told the Mail on Sunday. "I remember watching him when I was about eight! I'm so privileged to play with him. He's a great example for everyone, even for people like Paul Scholes, Gary Neville; he's been an example to them.

"Everything about him says that he's a class act. He's played the record amount of games for United. I don't know how many goals he's scored, and how many medals he's won but his achievements are amazing and I don't think anyone will ever better them."
