Manchester United captain Wayne Rooney says the players are adapting to Jose Mourinho’s methods and aiming to implement his game plan against Hull City on Saturday.

The two side’s, who have won both their first two Premier League matches will go head-to-head at the KCOM Stadium.

The England captain says the players are adapting well to Mourinho’s philosophies and it was proven in their first to Premier League matches.

‘All managers have different ways of preparing for games, different ways of training, different ways of how they want you to play the game,’ Rooney told the Manchester United website.

‘We, as players, have to adapt to what the manager wants us to do in our preparations throughout the week and, on matchdays, we try to take the game plan of the manager onto the pitch.

‘It’s what we’ve tried to do and, fortunately, we’ve started the season well. We’ve prepared well this week so we’re hoping that continues. Of course, in every game you play, you want to do well and try to do your best to help the team win.

Rooney says the new signings have settled in quick at the club and he believes they have made an instant impact on the team’s performance so far this season.

‘The signings we’ve made this season have been really good signings,’ he added.

“They’ve settled in really quickly and you’ve seen the impact they’ve had on the pitch already. I hope they continue and the players who have been here a while now can continue to do well. If we can do that, I’m sure we can have a very good season.’

Kick-off has been set for 18:30.
