Manchester United legend Bryan Robson is impressed by Wayne Rooney's captaincy.

Rooney has impressed observers inside and outside of the club with his leadership qualities.

"It doesn't surprise me," Robbo told ManUtd.com when asked about the striker's success in the role. "Wayne had some problems early on in his career when he lost his temper and was sent off a few times.

"But he learned through that period and, since the manager gave him the responsibility of the captaincy, Wayne has taken that on board. He's going to be a good captain for a few years to come."
