The Wayne Rooney Show: Who are the best midfielders Rooney has played with?

I definitely think Gerrard will play in England and Liverpool.

He was captain of Liverpool, he became captain at such a young age (23 years old).

Roy [Keane]I didn’t play enough to see that – so I couldn’t really say.

It was going to go to the players, right or wrong. I remember he went to Fletch which seemed a bit unfair because Roy did the exact opposite of what he was asked to do.

He often asked Fletch to charge his phone in the locker room. Your phone shouldn’t be in the locker room, and that’s a good thing.

But then we arrived after training and Roy turned off his phone charge.

This is Roy. I didn’t really play with Roy long enough, but you definitely see what a leader he was.

You’re trying to take parts from everyone. Stevie led by example with his actions on the pitch and how he tried to force the game or drag his team back into the game.

Ryan Giggs was more of a risk taker, as the game was tight at times and he was trying to play a pass that not many players would attempt.

Michael Carrick led the match with his presence on the field. He’s a big boy. I don’t think people realize how big it is. He had a presence in the midfield.

Beckham led in different ways. He had an aura and charisma about him and the way he played.

One of the biggest compliments I can give Beckham is that he never stopped running.

He was a role model for all players.

Joe Cole comes in [England] The team had more than one talented player.

He has no excuse not to back down if Beckham is a running back and he does it and he is the leader.

He had this aura about him, on and off the field, but he didn’t talk much.
