Yes..most people don’t know how and therefore drink etc. The sports world is also vicious when someone or a team is not performing. I have seen how at Everton the recent toxicity of some supporters towards players, manager and hierarchy only serves to make the team play worse. Supporters need to know that players are human beings and no one likes abuse screamed at them. To any supporters out there ..for any club ..better if you are inclined to express anger that you stay away from matches as you really don’t know the harm you could do and that will undoubtedly..sooner or later ..come back on you.
I just have a feeling Wayne will do terrific in his coaching career. His vision and drive on the field was second to none. Keeping in mind the ups and downs he had during his United career and he still ended up as UTDs top scorer ever.
@@FIshfood500 ah away and boil yir heed son🤦♂️ what he has done already at derby has shown what his metal is like as a manager.

@@FIshfood500 he's doing an amazing job at derby where he has faced huge on and off field issues with transfer embargo's and the ongoing uncertainty over the future of the football club and the massive 21 point deduction. He has shown how determined and confident he is in his own ability to try and achieve what would be the greatest escape ever, if he doesn't get derby safe he still has done a remarkable job to give them even a sniff of staying up.
I’m a Liverpool fan through and through, and always saw Wayne Rooney as the enemy, especially with his Everton & Man Utd background, even though you had to respect him on the pitch. Have to say that now, I see him in a different light, he’s honest, passionate and a total winner. It takes guts and character to admit to all these dark thoughts, as well as all the off field issues. Definitely one of the greatest football talents of the last 50-60 years. He is just the type of player which United are craving for right now, and since he left Old Trafford, they haven’t been the same team.
He’s the reason (not CR7) I started following Man Utd back in 2004/05. Rooney was the first striker that I saw chasing defenders. Was rare those days to see such hunger for goal. And yup, his honesty and courage to face his own dark side just reminds me how difficult and sometimes hurting to do so. One of my favorite players in PES/FIFA 😅
Rooney and Fabregas in their teens were the best players at their age I've seen kick a football in the PL. Both played with an immense maturity beyond their years.
what a journey this fella has had? from Star child with the expectation of a country on his shoulders, to a teenage sensation in a team full of hero's great to see him doing so well at Derby, can see him as a future MANUTD boss
My words exactly. Those prima donnas at Utd need the grounded reality check that he could bring, without even mentioning his determination to win a football game at any cost.
He will probably always be my favorite United player. I started actually following the club seriously in 2010~11, so I didn't really see Keane and some of the other legends during their time week in and week out. No one else had Rooney's mad dog attitude. He was everywhere on the pitch. He was tracking back and throwing tackles as a make-shift left-back, he would command the attack and link up the play with his amazing passing range and football IQ. You knew he was gonna give 100% every week. Such a passionate player. And what a rocket of a right foot.
I’m really proud of you for admitting you started seriously in 2010/11 and don’t feel inclined to say you were watching since Cantona. Love, from Israel

Amazing to witness Wazza's journey,from an aggressive young kid who always wanted to win to a matured man filled with wisdom and responsibilities. Love you Wazza ❤
Interesting interview. When he burst onto the scene he was England's World Beater. We all just wanted him, and others to play well for England and win us a Tournament. Interesting to hear about and get a feel for the pressure he was under. I'm glad he's doing well in Management and wish him all the best
@Cian MacGana he never won a balondor which I think he deserved so all I'm trying to say he deserves more recognition than he gets.....if u watched him in he's prime you would know what I mean boy.
I remember United fans slamming him for 'wanting to leave the club.' In reality, he was asking the right questions: how were United okay with not replacing Ronaldo and Tevez and an aging team in general. That rebuild that never happened has haunted United ever since!
Favourite player ever. In my opinion no one has ever had as many well rounded high level abilities than him. Name another player with either elite or high level finishing, pace, power, tackles, can score with any part of his body, and any type of goal you can think of. Has the vision he has for a pass. Presses like fuck. Can play any position in the top half of the pitch to a high level. Can score 30+ goals a season at United when his job is to assist Ruud, Ronaldo, Van Persie ect ect. Become the all time leading goal scorer for the biggest club in the world, with legends for days, and his country to. Oh and hes also a captain and a born leader. I don't think we appreciate what an unbelievable person Wayne actually is, not just a player. Would love to see him manage United when the time is right. How can you not be motivated to play for this guy. Its impossible.
Brilliant achievement by Wayne Uniteds all time leading goal scorer is amazing when you think about all the wonderful strikers united have had over the years he gave 100% in every game he ever played in he was the best Lee Hambleton from Sheffield
Top class footballer, loved him as a player. Villified by the MSM, loved by Mancs. If any of the current United squad had half of his spirit we'd be doing a lot better.
@@TheFragilityOfIdeas they are sort of alike, both were absolutelly amazing at age 20, still great at 25, but when they were reaching their 30's they were both finished bassicaly
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Life will always throw us trials and tribulations. But Wayne Rooney is a good guy deep down and I bet Coleen for one knows that.
He's not the greatest United player, in most other people's opinions. I can name a bunch of others in contention, such as Law, Best, Charlton, Edwards, Giggs, Scholes, Keane, Cantona, Djemba-Djemba..
Is it decent to deliberately wear longer studs with the intention of injuring someone because you don’t like losing? And cheat on your wife multiple times with prostitutes?
I was 10 years old when Wayne scored that goal against Arsenal & I never felt so happy about it at the time too. A 16 year old scoring a goal in the premier league gave every young kids a dream to believe in. Defenders nightmare. Euro 04 should've been Englands. Had way too many great players not have progressed.
You are a lucky man, how did you manage to interview the legend? I am making a channel about English football for the Russian-speaking audience, so I can only dream of interviews with such stars
I for one like the fact hes not scared to say it how it is. Rooney gets shit for off the field behaviour but id have him at newcastle in a heart beat as a coach figure and as a manager hes showing hes capable and more. Hes the type of man our fans would get. I hope he can keep derby up what an achievement it would be and for a great club too
I feel stupid because I used to hate him as a kid being a Liverpool fan now I'm an adult and I see that he's a top quality guy XD. Good on you Wayne !!!
No because he is being honest and if you listen to what he says, it’s very enlightening. He is naturally shy and has the guts to speak out. Well done Wayne. Am sure your openness will help many and be welcomed by other sports players too.
Never understand the mentality of wanting to go out and injure "someone" . You get players like that in every level of football. Dangerous twats looking to hurt anyone if things dont go their way. Its pathetic and unnecessary. You can take your frustration out by winning individual battles. Not by injuring someone else who loves playing football.
Just a human at the end of the day .we all make mistakes,but he undoubtedly was one of the best footballers to ever play,not many players if any produce the magic Rooney has done so many times,game after game
The drinking and off pitch unprofessionalism cost him in he’s later career. Look at Ronaldo who still going… Rooney will still go down as one of the greats
Incredible player. England & United record goal scorer. But I think he may have been even better. Did not kick on after aged 24. There was another level he was capable of reaching.
I'm certainly against his past actions as a scouser my self, Coleen as stood by him still in good & bad times to save her family& marriage even though she probably wanted to walk away anyone would man or women,but i highly respect her Scouse loyalty as a strong woman & for Wayne standing up for being straight & honest, hopefully hes learnt from his bad behaviour, these young footballers should take stock of all this & don't blow it. Just look at way George Best ended up wasting his life & gaza also but he's still here to tell his story, about his foolishness, another great player, am sure Wayne as learnt from this.. Good Luck for the future to you& your family & Godbless.🙏🏼 E.F.C.up the 🍬Lad. 💙from Liverpool..
Lets face it consider the circumstances Mr Rooney is doing an absolute brilliant job at Derby county , I hope he keeps them up in the Championship just to stop people knocking him. He was a raw and natural talented footballer those players under him at Derby will learn at lot from him.
I'm a Red and I have changed my opinion about Wayne quite while ago but now even moreso. He knows where he's from and doesn't make out he's something he ain't. Lots of respect.
Best English footballer I ever watched play. Was better than Ronaldo while they were both at United. Never been a similar player since. Simply phenomenal.
Just think this lad from one ov the roughest council estates in the uk or Europe turned up on his bmx 16 years old made his debut against arsenal who were unbeaten for who knows how long they called them the invincibles till we all remembered that name Wayne Rooney Man U top scorer England’s top scorer come on now scouse are different 💙💙one’s a blue always a blue
When it was rumoured he was going to City, the bookies had him odds on on leaving to go there. I think they had Everton at something like 20-1 to be his next club. It may have been more than this. I felt he was not going to leave Man Utd, and thought that if he stayed there was a good chance his next club would be Everton at the end of his career. I put a bet on it, had to wait many years until the bet paid off.
Wouldn’t give him no credit once a blue an all that shite kissing badges on his top.and Everton fans who idolised him idolised him…..loyalty goes a long way with Everton fans
Wayne is honest enough to face his dark side. We all need to do this.
Yeah erm. He wore studs to deliberately hurt another player erm.
What a role model

“Ye erm… well erm… I tink erm…”

Rooney's 253 goals for United is a club record! A statistic that would be awfully hard for the next star to even think of emulating?

The beard definitely ages him to be fair. Probably when he is 50 probably still look the same.
He's a never looked his age even when he was 18 he looked In his 30s
I think he’s ageing well. Mf looked 42 when he was 16
