Man Utd legend Wayne Rooney ‘told Coleen he couldn’t do school run for EA FC TRAINING’ reveals YouTuber Angry Ginge
MANCHESTER UNITED legend Wayne Rooney reportedly told his wife Coleen to do the school run because he had an EAFC “training session”.
Rooney, 38, has been out of work since being axed by Birmingham in January.
And, while he continues the search for a new job, the former striker has taken up a new hobby.
England icon Rooney has started playing EAFC Pro Clubs with YouTuber ‘Angry Ginge’ in his spare time.
The social media star was left in stitches after being insulted by the United legend at the weekend.
But he soon had the last laugh when a joke about “training” went too far.
In a stream, the YouTuber claimed: “I said to him: ‘Training 8-11’. Next thing you know, 10 o’clock in the morning, I’m in bed trying to get to sleep and I get a phone call from Rooney.
“He said: ‘So I take it we’re not training lad’. I said: ‘What? What do you mean mate?’ Genuinely, I’m p***ing myself, I’m absolutely p***ing myself, already, because I know what is coming.
“He goes: ‘Well, I’ve been up since half seven with the controller in my hands. I’ve just found out it’s just banter you guys have’.
“So he’s been sat there, since half seven, ready for ‘training’ with his controller. Unreal.

“He goes: ‘I’ve had to tell my missus that I can’t do the school run because I’ve got training’.
“I am genuinely not joking when I say that, I cannot put into words how much I have p***ed myself.”
Rooney was due to appear as a pundit on Saturday’s Match of the Day but had to pull out due to a back injury.
He took to X to write: “Gutted not to be making my debut on the iconic @BBCMOTD show tonight, it’s something I have wanted to do since I was little.
“Unfortunately I have sustained a painful back injury during a holiday with my family but I look forward to being part of the team in the near future.
“Good luck to @GaryLineker and the guys for tonights show and see you soon.”
Regular host Gary Lineker was instead joined by Martin Keown and Micah Richards in the studio.
