Rooney then reflected on his first away trip with the team, where he'd got involved in an argument with club captain Roy Keane.
"I always remember my first away trip, having an argument with Roy Keane," he said. Asked to extend on what it was about, Rooney continued:
"Roy was watching the rugby the night before we played Newcastle away. He went to get his food so I turned over and put X Factor on and hid the remote.
"He wasn't happy by then so we had an argument. But I think straight away he respected me more for it.
"It [the argument] came to a conclusion and ended but I think he looked at me and respected that I was big enough to have a go back at him."
We can't think of too many grown men who'd dare to hide the remote when Roy Keane was watching what he wanted on the telly. Let alone an 18-year-old.Explore more on these topics:
