I sensed he has some contempt for him
Tbf he's not talking just about Lingard. Neville mentions him in regards to dancing. Rooney is talking generally about the culture of United not being the same post Fergie.
That specific story he's telling though hes mentioned Lingard and Pogba before https://www.manchestereveningnews.c...s/wayne-rooney-reveals-scolded-jesse-20973755
Side-note: Rooney seems like a good laugh; never imagined he would be.
It’s been like if you’re at really good but strict school. You know you can get away with a tiny bit of banter. Then the teacher retires and they all go into substitute teacher mode. You can see how this was never going to get the max out of stroppy young entitled players who were filthy rich and famous before they’d even achieved anything. The dancing used to always get me too. Dude spent his carear going around acting like he’s an 11 year old girl. He was a total laughing stock and he loved it
Why wouldn't he be?
The moaning about the dancing was always silly but dancing around after a defeat does suggest he doesn't care.
Haven’t listened to the whole thing so apologies if I have this wrong but is Rooney referring to players dancing in the dressing-room following a defeat to Liverpool in the Moyes season? Because Lingard wouldn’t have been involved in that, he was on loan somewhere at the time. And if it was dancing with Pogba following a defeat to Liverpool, the only season Lingard, Pogba and Rooney shared a dressing-room as first-team players was 16/17 when we didn’t lose to Liverpool.
I think some here just think dancing in general is bad. Footballers must be tough and manly. They should drink beer, grow beards and wait around in car parks for refs. Instagram and dancing is for teen girls apparently.
What an equally shite rhetoric!!
Yeah you have it wrong. He didn’t actually say the Moyes season. He also didn’t mention Pogba at all. And more of a hint it was Lingard.
He likes Ed Sheeran for one.
Which part? Most of the complaining about his dancing is just middle aged guys moaning. Same with the moaning about social media.
Lingard wasn't a relevant player in the squad at this time so no reason to pick on him. And Rooney certainly wasn't the most professional himself.
Yeah I never warmed to him. A deluded manchild off the pitch and on it, a mediocre EPL at best. However, some people seemed to genuinely hate him which I could never understand either. He is major tit but I am not aware of anything that showed him to be a bad person.
I’m the same age as Lingard, and he seems extremely immature/childish. Dancing around after a defeat doesn’t surprise me with Lingard, because he doesn’t take his job seriously enough.
Agreed. He's an utter prat that acts like a 14 year old. Arrested development.
OK then, I’ve just checked and the only defeat to Liverpool between the Moyes season and Rooney leaving was the 2-0 at Anfield in the Europa League in March 2016, a game that Lingard had no involvement in. Although I suppose he might have turned up at Carrington the following day in a better mood than his teammates who actually played it. The next defeat after that was Mourinho’s last game in which Lingard scored a consolation, but Rooney was long gone by then.
Have you done a survey to find the average age of everyone complaining about him?
Because he's from Warrington.
A bit racist, no?
Never found him particularly charismatic in his post-match interviews (or any interviews really) during his playing days.
So he can't be happy got it.
Yet the complaints are mostly about Instagram and dancing. His performances are bad enough that people could just focus on that. When you start moaning about his social media, you just sound like a grandparent saying "Well back in my day..."
I take it you've not been to Warrington
No is it worse than the slums in Rio?I take it you've not been to Warrington
thats sexist
More unhappy yes!
shit weather can have that effect.That and they're in that strange forgotten hinterland between Manchester and Liverpool - not quite Mancs and not quite Scousers, universally shunned and despised! A difficult place to be born
And that it's really a bad combo.That and they're in that strange forgotten hinterland between Manchester and Liverpool - not quite Mancs and not quite Scousers, universally shunned and despised! A difficult place to be born
Thats a surpise. Rooney has always come across as a really funny guy IMO. With many of his tea mates anecdotes about him proving it. Heck even his boxing celebration after the Bardsley incident was proof....
