New Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal has given England striker Wayne Rooney the role of team captain and made Scotland midfielder Darren Fletcher his vice-captain.
“It is a huge honour for me - and for my family - to be named captain of this great club,” Rooney told United’s website (www.manutd.com) after Van Gaal’s side beat Valencia 2-1 in a pre-season friendly at Old Trafford on Tuesday.
