Said he would love to join United on loan in January but wouldn't want to move his kids again as they are at school in the US.

It's years old laundry with a different manger in charge. No harm done.
Who’s going to stop him? He’s nothing to do with us anymore.
More ok for our top ever goalscorer to do it than a miserable washed up manager who achieved nothing here. Loved his honesty and puts the shite that Neville and Keane have been saying into perspective.
Need to see this. Would love a clip of this floating around here later
I was surprised he was as open as he was. I don’t see a lot wrong with it though.
Rooney is surely the only person in the world who says no when he means yes.
He says he's a blue, but you can tell he's a red deep down now.
Getting rid of Rooney the way he did (respectfully and with little fuss) was one of Jose's best acts as United manager.
Don’t tell that to Ronaldo
Some of us were saying this for years and were told it was bollocks.
If he'd made the exact same comments a year ago, he would have been called anti-United.
Rooney's comments make me so happy. Vindication that I wasn't a maniac all these years.
Agreed.
We've been saying it for ages. Mourinho just instructed them to not get out of position, don't make those forward runs and keep your position and play it safe. People claiming they just weren't good enough was so far off the mark. Of course we have weaknesses, but none of that was an excuse for the way we were playing.
He only said it to public criticize Mourinho. You'd like to think that under normal circumstances that kind of information wouldn't leak out. I mean he basically said everyone was miserable and that it was Mourinho's fault. Don't doubt what Rooney said, just question the need to say it on tv only days after Mourinho's sacking. Should remain in-house.
He has said if he needed to play a hall of fame game for a club it would be United.
A proper club legend. Its pathetic how some people hold different standards for him especially with the "holding the club ransom" comments
“I love you Wazza, but you’re bang out of line on this one”
What did he say?
Yeah, fair enough, still wrong though.
Ah right, this is the episode where Rooney is not a dickhead because he takes a shit on Mourinho.
Maybe Darmian is not as useless offensively as we think
Tony Coton said in his book, when they won the league one year Wayne Rooney said "another medal boys" to the staff. And Coton said "nah, mate, we dont get medals. Just manager and his assistant."
So Rooney out of his own pocket, bought custom made Premier League winners medals for all the Man United staff when they won the league and handed them out during pre-season. A fine man.

What’s he said about Luke Shaw faking a injury?
Best strike partner?

Brutally honest up to the point when he's asked why he left, he surely knew he wasn't good enough for us anymore
Really enjoyed listening to what he said on BT, could have watched him talk all night about his career and football generally.
That's nice.
Doing that doesn’t make him a fine man.
He even said the dinner ladies and washing room ladies were unhappy
It was a damning indication of Mourinho's toxic personality.
It's a fine thing to do. It goes some way to making him that.
Are you really suprised? After everything that Mourinho has publicly said about the Utd players/board and even Rooney himself? It would take an angel to 'turn the other cheek'.
100% guaranteed if the football was the same but Mourinho never hung his players out on the dryers, you would have nothing but generic 'sorry to see the gaff go, respect everything he's done for us'.
Not that I agree with him, and I haven’t seen the clip, but everyone who played upfront with Heskey loved him as a partner.Best strike partner?

I understand why he may said what he did, I'd prefer it if he didn't sink to that level. I've been a staunch Mourinho supporter, but one aspect of his management I cannot defend in the slightest is the public criticism of his players, so what goes around comes around I guess. I don't suppose it will bother him much, he doesn't strike me as the sensitive type, so I guess I don't have to worry too much about his feelings!
I don't think it should be even seen as 'sinking to a level'. From a practical point of view, sometimes you just to need to say your side of the story. You're getting absolutely battered by fans and pundits already on a good day and then on top of that your manager throws in his one sided view. Your reputation and by correlation your career is being called on the line here. Unlike Mourinho, who can get a massive pay off, one unsigned contract or a move to another club is your life as professional completely changed.
This whole notion of Mourinho being respectful to his past clubs that have sacked him is kind of bs to me. Of course he can be 'zen' and 'taking the high ground' when he's half the problem that got himself in the situation in the first place. He's getting paid years of wages upfront only to disappear from the limelight i.e completely opposite to his players.
That is true but the post I quoted said he is a fine man not that it was a fine thing to do. I don’t disagree that is was a fine thing to do.

We've all done this surely.
Wait, public swearing? The feck is that...
