At first glance, beleaguered Derby County might not have too much in common with Manchester United right now.
But Rams' boss Wayne Rooney says he is trying to bring about a similar mentality to the one he experienced under legendary Old Trafford boss Sir Alex Ferguson. United scored countless crucial goals in so-called 'Fergie Time' down the years and it is something Rooney has been trying to add to Derby's game as they chase down Championship survival against the odds.
Derby are fighting for safety amid a backdrop of a mammoth 21-point deduction, but they remain right in the battle to stay up. To that end, Rooney has been impressed with how his players keep going until the end. Late goals this season have been crucial to them keeping up with their drop rivals. Recent months have seen County seal an injury time win over Peterborough and come from 2-0 down to post precious points against Birmingham and Reading.
