Real Madrid striker Ruud van Nistelrooy has recalled Manchester United star Wayne Rooney's Champions League debut against Fenerbahce.
United won 6-3, with 18 year-old Rooney hitting a hat-trick and Van Nistelrooy said: "If I had to single out one aspect of Wayne's performance it would be his attitude. He is totally fearless.
"He had a big transfer fee on his back, it was his home debut, it was the Champions League and he knew all eyes were on him.
"Yet he went out, did his thing and scored a hat-trick. If that was not a statement of character, I don't know what is."
