Rooney ended his 11th season with United on 14 goals
Wayne Rooney admits his role as a striker is more 'disciplined' under Louis van Gaal at Manchester United.
Former United captain Gary Neville described Rooney as the 'silent dominator' following last month's win over City, when Rooney had the fewest amount of touches - 35 - in a Premier League game with The Reds.
And in a wide-ranging interview with Neville, Rooney revealed Van Gaal suggested he limit his average touches per game down to 10.
"I think it's a more disciplined role," the United skipper told Neville on Sky Sports.
"The manager, actually, when he spoke to me about how he wants me to play up front, he went back to when he was manager of Bayern Munich and the striker there was averaging 10 touches a game. I was like 'bloody hell, I want more than that'.
