WAYNE ROONEY snubbed Cristiano Ronaldo as he was asked to name his best Manchester United team-mate – and he produced a surprise when giving his worst.<\/p>\n
The Red Devils and England legend, 38, is back on these shores after being appointed Birmingham City boss last month.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
And he was celebrating on Saturday after he finally secured his first point in charge of the Championship side after suffering three straight defeats.<\/p>\n
Rooney burst on to the scene as a 16-year-old with Everton before moving to Old Trafford in 2004.<\/p>\n
He went on to become United and England\u2019s all-time top scorers, the latter record now being surpassed by Harry Kane, as he won every honour available under Sir Alex Ferguson.<\/p>\n
Rooney returned to Everton for a season in 2017 before finishing his playing days with spells in America at DC United and then with Derby County before embarking on his coaching career.<\/p>\n
This week he appeared on a new podcast hosted by rugby league legend Rob Burrow named \u2018Seven: Rob Burrow\u2019 – a seven-part BBC series where the ex-Leeds Rhino ace asks a range of sporting icons seven questions.<\/p>\n One of those asked by Burrows was who were Rooney\u2019s best and worst team-mates during his career – and both were ex-United colleagues.<\/p>\n \u201cBest team-mate, I'd probably say Darren Fletcher,\u201d declared Rooney.<\/p>\n The former Scottish international midfielder, who is currently the technical director at United, was part of the squad alongside Rooney until he departed in 2015 for West Brom.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n FREE BETS – BEST BETTING OFFERS AND BONUSES NEW CUSTOMERS<\/strong><\/p>\n He finished his career at Stoke City before hanging up his boots in 2019.<\/p>\n Rooney then added: \u201cMy worst team-mate, there are a lot more than you'd probably think!<\/p>\n \u201cOn the pitch, the toughest one was Nani. He was frustrating to play with.\u201d<\/p>\n Portuguese international winger Nani, 36, is still playing for Turkish club Adana Demirspor.<\/p>\n He spent eight years at United after joining from Sporting Lisbon in 2015 and won four Premier League titles plus the Champions League during that period amongst a host of other honours.<\/p>\n MAN UTD NEWS LIVE: Stay up to date with all of the latest transfer and takeover news from Old Trafford<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/picture>GREAT CATCH <\/span><\/p>\n
