Wayne Rooney: Where United’s Decline Began | Raw & Honest Conversation Like Never Before
About this episode
Wayne Rooney is the latest guest on Rio Meets and sits down with Rio in a way you’ve never seen him before.
Wayne candidly reveals how his anger got him into trouble away from football, the importance of his wife Coleen in protecting himself and his favourite player that he’s ever played with - spoiler, it’s not Cristiano.
If you thought you knew Wayne Rooney, this is another episode of Rio Meets where you’ll see a completely different side to one of the game’s greatest players.
You’ll hear an incredibly raw conversation about why Wayne never thought he fit in despite the successes he had on the pitch and the insecurities he battled throughout his career.
There’s a young player singled out by Wayne for having the potential to be as great as Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo - plus he also has his say on that age old debate.
In amongst the raw emotion, there’s incredible tactical insight into the team he thrived in at Manchester United, analysis on how Harry Kane could become even better and he also dismantles the game of one of the Premier League’s best defenders.
