Manchester United captain Wayne Rooney will lift the EFL Cup should they beat Southampton at Wembley today.

Rooney is not guaranteed a place in Jose Mourinho's team, but the United boss revealed his captain will lead his team-mates up to the Royal Box if they beat Saints.

Mourinho said: “Wayne is our captain. Whether he is playing or on the bench, whether he is on the bench and comes on, or whether he starts and leaves the pitch, he is always our captain.

"I don't care who lifts the cup – as long as we win.

“I don't think Wayne cares. But HE is our captain."
