Wayne Rooney revealed who he thought would be on the ‘Mount Rushmore’ of Manchester United legends and chose to leave himself off the list.
In an interview with CBS’s ‘Morning Footy’ show, the DC United manager reacted to the show’s list of top United legends and then asked for his opinion.
‘We had Sir Alex [Ferguson]… Bobby Charlton, Wayne Rooney and Paul Scholes,’ the desk explained before letting Rooney drop his list.
‘Yeah I think for me, Sir Alex of course will be on there. I think Cristiano Ronaldo will be on there. And Ryan Giggs would be on there and probably George Best,’ Rooney revealed.
He continued, saying that there are ‘so many people that could be on there’. Notable absences from this list include Sir Bobby Charlton, Paul Scholes, and Eric Cantona.

“I really wanted to play for Alex Ferguson,” Rooney said. ‘Just the way he worked and how successful he was and of course he had great players throughout the years and its a really historical club…
‘Me being from Liverpool – an Evertonian – I always had an eye on Manchester United purely because of Sir Alex Ferguson. I just loved the way he was and hoped that one day I could play under him, and thankfully I finally managed to do that.’
Rooney is currently the boss at DC United of MLS and his team has struggled through their first eight contests.
As of now, they sit 11th in the table in the league’s Eastern Conference with eight points through two wins and two draws.
DC travels down to Florida this weekend to take on Orlando City SC from the Exploria Stadium on Saturday.
