DERBY boss Phillip Cocu admits Wayne Rooney is managing the team on the pitch after his huge impact at Pride Park.
Rooney (above) arrived as playercoach determined to become a gaffer in his own right one day.
The Rams go to Middlesbrough on the back of successive wins over Barnsley and Crystal Palace, in the FA Cup, inspired by the ex-England and Manchester United captain.
And Cocu said: “In a few moments against Palace, Wayne dropped as a midfielder and pushed the full-backs higher up so he is managing, more or less, the team.
“He was involved before in staff meetings and training – but it is a big difference when he is in the game and can show his leadership.”
