It’s your questions answered by Wayne Rooney. In a special Q&A episode, Wayne opens up on everything from dressing-room secrets to defining moments of his career. He reveals the hilarious code names his Manchester United team-mates used while playing SOCOM, recalls Sir Alex Ferguson’s team talk before United ended Arsenal’s 49-game unbeaten run, and explains why Coleen urged him to lift the FA Cup alone in 2016. Wayne also names the modern player he sees most of himself in, the club he would have loved to play for, and the team-mate whose skill would surprise fans the most. There are candid stories about how he didn’t even tell his dad about his move from Everton to United until the last minute and whether he’s secretly proud of any red cards, and the moment he knew he’d broken his foot just weeks before the 2006 World Cup.
