Wayne Rooney: 'I'd love to have played for Pep Guardiola'

"I’d love to have played under Pep Guardiola," said Wayne Rooney in an interview with The Times.

"I look at how he develops people as players & individuals, at what he is doing with John Stones & Jack Grealish.

"You look at how he has changed his back line this season, the progress of Nathan Ake & so many examples of his work."

Well, knowing the rivalry between Manchester United and Manchester City, we bet Red Devils fans won't be too pleased with Rooney's statement.

However, credit where it is due - Guardiola is one of the finer coaches of this generation. Playing under him would be a fantastic opportunity for any footballer.
