Wayne Rooney has dished the dirt on his former Manchester United team-mates, jokingly labelling Cristiano Ronaldo as “f***ing annoying” and aiming hilarious swipes at “arrogant” Rio Ferdinand and Marcus Rashford.
No one knows Ronaldo or Ferdinand as footballers better than Rooney after they experienced a trophy-laden spell together at Old Trafford under Sir Alex Ferguson. The trio played a key role for five years from 2004 to 2009, before the Portuguese star left in a world-record £80million move for Real Madrid.
The 37-year-old, back in Manchester for a second spell, has endured a difficult return to the Red Devils despite scoring 18 goals, amid reports of disagreements with team-mates and interim boss Ralf Rangnick. But hearing Rooney’s comments may have prompted a chuckle from the veteran forward.
