Phil Jones has claimed that his Manchester United teammate Wayne Rooney doesn't need to score goals to maintain his influence for the side.
The striker netted his first Premier League goals since September in United's 4-1 win against Wolverhampton Wanderers at Old Trafford on Saturday.
"Wayne was brilliant [against Wolves], but he still has an influence on the team even when he is not scoring," said Jones. "The things he does off the ball are terrific as well. People sometimes don't take that into consideration.
"They look at his goal tally and think he is not doing well but he has been terrific for us."
The Red Devils, who are currently second in the table, travel to Queens Park Rangers in the league next Sunday.
