A biography for Wayne Rooneyhasn’t been written yet.
“Early on in my career I had a lot of bad press about my temperament, but I was only a young lad then.”
“I've started doing my coaching badges, I'd like to be a manager one day.”
“Some players don't like training and I've seen some players who aren't bothered if they play or not. But I want to play every game. Sometimes you have to rest in certain games, but I want to play in every game.”
“When I was younger, I used to visualise myself scoring wonder goals, stuff like that.”
“Those who said I'm not an out-and-out goal-scorer are probably right. I always feel I could score more.”
“When they talk to me, people say, 'I didn't expect you to be how you are.'”
“Perfect partners don't exist. Perfect conditions exist for a limited time in which partnerships express themselves best.”
“I love football, football is my life.”
“I am mentally strong.”
“Just to confirm to all my followers I have had a hair transplant. I was going bald at 25 why not.”
“Football is made up of all kinds of conflict. In a dressing room, between players, between us and the manager, between us and loads of people who don't seem to matter. It's constant and harsh sometimes.”
“Diving has been in the game for years. Probably the coverage the game gets now, with all the cameras around, it gets highlighted a bit more. But it hasn't got any worse.”
“I've matured since joining United, on and off the field.”
“I play the game as honestly as I can. If the referee gives a penalty there is nothing you can do.”
“Unlike others who have been caught swearing on camera, I apologised immediately. And yet I am the only person banned for swearing. That doesn't seem right.”
“I'm not really that bothered by appearance. I know a few players who go off doing stuff in the mirror ages before they go out to play a game, but I'm not really interested in that.”
“There's a lot more pressure on me at United. There are people out there trying to shoot you down.”
“Becoming a dad means you have to be a role model for your son and be someone he can look up to.”
“You just want to keep playing consistently now and keep working hard and I'm sure the goals will come.”
“As you get older you play in more important games and that is when you start thinking about what will happen if you win or lose.”
