@everyone
This is how Rio explained it and I believe it. It’s one thing to explore opportunities and another to actively seek to leave which I believe Rooney did.
Again, I explain that in my new book, but I just want to reiterate that I was never a part of that meeting. I bumped into my agent and he was sat with Peter Kenyon. It was literally just a case of me popping in to say hello. I don’t even think I ordered a drink! I left after 10 or 15 minutes, but somebody obviously took a photo. A snapshot of a moment you can lead to so many stories.
Anyway, my post was not just about this one thing. I also mentioned other reasons why I feel Rio was more important for us. There isn’t much between the two players for me. They are both club legends.
