Because Rooney is a better player when he has the spotlight on him (club level), he has been at United for a long time now and I think making him captain was a very smart move on LVG's part, if Rooney is played at Striker I feel he will have a very good season.
IKR, did you see his corner in the the 2014 World Cup?
Rooney has the normal never say die all man united captain has
He is experienced and capable of handling the team....
