EPL: Rooney was my worst team-mate – Rio Ferdinand

Former Manchester United defender, Rio Ferdinand has named Wayne Rooney as his worst-ever team-mate.

Ferdinand and Rooney won a number of trophies from Premier League to Champions League during their time at Old Trafford.

But Ferdinand has now revealed how they used to argue frequently on the pitch during matches.

In the latest episode of BBC podcast, hosted by Rugby League legend Rob Burrow, Ferdinand said: “The worst team-mate I have probably had the most arguments with is Wayne Rooney, to be honest with you.

“Never came to blows, it was on the pitch.

“We never argued in training really, it was just match day, we probably argued once every two or three games, effing and blinding, screaming at each other because I wanted more from him.”
