The idea is, you have a "water carrier" who will do the dirty work, take the ball off defenders and keep it simple. Allowing the creative partner in midfield to find space to receive the ball and then create an attack.
That only works if you play 1 of the 2 and drop Rooney deeper to play alongside that 1.
