Rooney: Sir Alex is the greatest ever... but we had our differences!

Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney says he and former boss Sir Alex Ferguson had disagreements during the Scotsman's last year at Old Trafford. 
Ferguson's final season at Old Trafford was a testing one for the England captain, as he saw Robin van Persie occupy the main striking role, and the forward soon showed a desire to leave Old Trafford.
Rooney, who equalled Sir Bobby Charlton's England goalscoring record in Saturday's 6-0 win over San Marino, admittted that he had disagreements with the former manager during the 2013-14 campaign.

“We had differences of opinion, but that’s normal,” said Rooney.

“Ask Roy Hodgson. He’s had differences with players over the years, too. That’s part of football.

"I’m not the only person who had differences with Sir Alex Ferguson but I can still sit here and say he was the greatest manager of all time.

“I still see Sir Alex quite a bit at games and he travels away to European games with us.

"It’s not that we don’t like each other. We just had differences. That’s normal.”

The England captain also looked forward to the 2018 World Cup in Russia, setting the tournament as a target for what may be his final competition in the Three Lions' colours.
