Rooney has urged Manchester United to deploy Paul Pogba in a box-to-box midfield role.
Jose Mourinho dropped Pogba to the bench for Saturday's 2-0 Premier League win over Huddersfield Town following a poor showing in the previous defeat at Tottenham.
"For me Paul Pogba is a classic box-to-box player. He can do a bit of everything really well," Rooney told Sky Sports' Monday Night Football programme.
"If he has that freedom where he doesn't have to think too much about his defensive role he can cause mayhem.
"At Juventus he had [Andrea] Pirlo alongside him. With [Nemanja] Matic and another alongside him, on the left of a three in midfield, that will certainly get the best out of him."
Pogba has played 22 gamtfor United in all competitions this season, scoring three goals, with 10 assists.
