Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand, 45, says his worst teammate was Wayne Rooney, 38, during their time together at the club and with the England national team.

He continued, “We never really argued on the training ground. It was just on game days. We probably had a verbal spat every two or three games and shouted at each other,” he explained, 카지노사이트 “because I wanted more from him.”
