I’ve learnt that it is important not to go over the top with aggression, because then either you are going to miss a lot of games, or you are not going to be concentrating on the game you are playing. – Wayne Rooney
Football’s about the young players, bringing youth team players through to the first team and hopefully getting the best out of them so they can go on to play for their country. – Wayne Rooney
It’s strange but I suppose I’m one of those senior players now and I’ll be helping the young players as much as I can. – Wayne Rooney
You’re trying to put yourself in that moment and trying to prepare yourself, to have a ‘memory before the game. I don’t know if you’d call it visualising or dreaming, but I’ve always done it, my whole life. – Wayne Rooney
You can learn more from the lows than the highs. The highs are great but the lows make you really look at things in a different way and want to improve. Every player will have both in their careers and I have, but what you get is that experience which is so important to perform at your best. – Wayne Rooney
Growing up, watching the Premier League as far back as I can remember, feeling the trophy and having the medal around my neck was an unbelievable feeling. – Wayne Rooney
Just to confirm to all my followers I have had a hair transplant. I was going bald at 25 why not. – Wayne Rooney

There’s a lot more pressure on me at United. There are people out there trying to shoot you down. – Wayne Rooney
There are many ways to grow football-wise. You go slow or are pushed to go faster, otherwise you get left behind. For me, there would be trouble in stopping learning. – Wayne Rooney
Some players don’t like training and I’ve seen some players who aren’t bothered if they play or not. But I want to play every game. Sometimes you have to rest in certain games, but I want to play in every game. – Wayne Rooney
I don’t normally cook, but if I did it probably would be beans, sausage, bacon and eggs. I never really get to eat that to be honest. – Wayne Rooney
Unlike others who have been caught swearing on camera, I apologised immediately. And yet I am the only person banned for swearing. That doesn’t seem right. – Wayne Rooney
I play the game as honestly as I can. If the referee gives a penalty there is nothing you can do. – Wayne Rooney
Perfect partners don’t exist. Perfect conditions exist for a limited time in which partnerships express themselves best. – Wayne Rooney
Becoming a dad was the proudest moment of my life. Playing football does not even compare. – Wayne Rooney
You just want to keep playing consistently now and keep working hard and I’m sure the goals will come. – Wayne Rooney
Football is made up of all kinds of conflict. In a dressing room, between players, between us and the manager, between us and loads of people who don’t seem to matter. It’s constant and harsh sometimes. – Wayne Rooney
