Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal says he speaks to striker Wayne Rooney about team selection.
England captain Rooney is in his 12th season at the club, and was also named captain at Old Trafford last year.
Van Gaal believes he can trust the 29-year-old to give an honest opinion on a wide range of topics - even cooking.
"Things like the selection and the kitchen and the members of the staff, everything you can mention, he is involved," Van Gaal said in the Sun.
"I think he trusts me so that is also very important and I trust him. So when he comes to me and has remarks I always pay attention."
Rooney has started every Manchester United game so far this season and scored his first goals of the campaign in the 4-0 Champions League qualifying play-off win at Club Brugge on Wednesday
