Manchester United striker Romelu Lukaku will have no leaders to guide him at the club according to Wayne Rooney.
The Englishman left the club to return to Everton earlier this month as he was full of praise for old team-mates Ryan Giggs, Gary Neville and Paul Scholes.
But he believes that certain traditions are no longer part of the club.
"There are standards that you have to keep when you are at Manchester United," Rooney said.
"That came from the manager Sir Alex Ferguson when I went to United and it was then passed down through the dressing room by the likes of Giggsy [Ryan Giggs], Gary Neville and Scholesy [Paul Scholes].
"Over the last few years, it was down to me and Michael Carrick to keep the new players maintaining those standards.
"That became more difficult over the last few years, with some of the players who joined the club.
"There are traditions at United that have to be maintained. It's become harder, but that's not my problem any more. I'm just ecstatic to be back at Everton."
