Wayne Rooney has become an iconic figure across club and international sports, playing for Manchester United, Everton and Derby County during his long club and international career - as well as providing media comment.

He recently previewed Manchester City's Champions League tie against Real Madrid and believes they will thrash them to defeat.

Drinking was a release

Birmingham manager Paul Lambert made his mark in football at an early age, breaking into Everton's senior side aged 16, being selected as an England international at 17 and joining Manchester United aged 20 - but with that fame came immense pressure that caught up with him unprepared.

He would often get behind the wheel while over the legal limit and was even ordered to perform community service after getting caught twice.

Rooney recently took over as head coach of DC United, currently sitting near the bottom of their league's table as of mid-April. But his players say he has already brought some stability and showed an aptitude for what soccer pundits call "man management," the practice of empathizing with one's players through eating meals with them and discussing shows they've watched; also being adept at knowing when it is necessary to give an encouragement or push.

It made me weak in the knees

Wayne Rooney is an English professional footballer who scored over 250 goals for Manchester United and England during his professional football career. Additionally, he has appeared in multiple movies as well as engaging in many charitable projects, investing in NFTs, and working alongside various brands.

Rooney spent much of his time as Cocu's inside-left player, dropping in behind central midfield duos to support their left-footed winger. If full-backs pressed forward he provided another option from deeper position; often making clever passes over top of deep defences into forward runners headed rightwards towards penalty area.

Rooney has long been one of the greatest goal scorers at Man Utd. His success there has earned him global acclaim and numerous awards are bestowed upon him for his performances at international level and domestic.

It made me nervous

Manchester United Football Club, commonly referred to as Man Utd or simply The Red Devils, is an English professional football club based out of Old Trafford in Greater Manchester that competes in the Premier League. One of the world's best-supported clubs both financially and historically; as well as one of European football's most decorated and accomplished sides.

Manchester United faced Chelsea for the first time since 1968 in the Champions League final in October, where both sides went goalless after 120 tense minutes and went straight into penalties - Ronaldo missed while John Terry managed to hit his kick against the post, giving United an advantage.

Rooney began his career at Everton as a teenager, making his Premier League debut and becoming its youngest goal scorer at just 18 years old. Following two seasons at Everton he signed for Manchester United in a record transfer deal before breaking numerous records during his 13 year stint at Old Trafford.
