UTD Podcast | Rooney’s United goals record

[ad_1]

On the subject of positions and where he liked to play, Rooney doesn’t hold back when revealing the area of the pitch he hated to play – recalling one match in particular as a tough shift! 

“When I was younger I think no.10 was my best position,” explains Wayne. “I could dip in and out of midfield, I could join in with the strikers, so that was the position I enjoyed most. 

“I hated playing wide right, I didn’t mind wide left. Wide right, it was just something I didn’t enjoy. It always felt like the pitch closes in on you. I remember playing Real Madrid away. I had Marcelo at left-back and Ronaldo at left-wing, and the manager was telling me to keep track of Marcelo when he goes forward and when you can double-up on Cristiano… I was thinking, ‘Jesus!’ 

“So there have been a few times when you play those roles on the night to get a result for the team, but I hated wide right.”
