Gary Neville has had a long and illustrious career with Manchester United and has gained the status of a cult hero. In a recent interview, he named the best player with whom he has shared the pitch in a Manchester United jersey.
“For me, he was the best centre-forward I ever saw at Manchester United and ever played with” Neville told Sky Sports. He was referring to Wayne Rooney with this statement.
Rooney or as he is affectionately called ‘Wazza’ officially announced his retirement from playing football as he immediately took over the job of the head coach at County Derby who is in a precarious moment right now.
Everyone was pretty emotional as Rooney put the curtains on his playing days and everybody right from Former teammates to present Manchester United players took to social media to show their support and wish him well in his future endeavours.
Gary Neville mentioned that he played with a host of legends in a Manchester United team that was a dream for many people yet he held Rooney as his number one which shows you just how highly he regards him. Rooney started his stellar career as a youngster in the Evertonian shirt and then came to the Red side of Manchester where he won a lot of praise and acclaim for his performances. He has some legendary derby goals and a lot of memories with Manchester United.
Wayne Rooney’s life as manager hasn’t been a very good one as he has taken over the side which is going through a really tough time right now. Derby County sits in 23rd position in the league only above Wycombe.
