Manchester United's Wayne Rooney "needs stability" in a position that suits him, according to former Old Trafford defender Gary Neville.

Rooney, 30, was used as a midfielder by former United boss Louis van Gaal last season, and he scored eight goals in 28 Premier League appearances.

New Red Devils manager Jose Mourinho, however, has said he does not plan to use him in that role, and on Sunday the England international supported striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic, scoring in a 3-1 victory at Bournemouth.
