Wayne Rooney names the five players who controlled Manchester United dressing room

Wayne Rooney has revealed that during his time at Manchester United there was a group of players, who controlled the dressing room. The Red Devils all-time leading scorer, who won the Premier League five times at Old Trafford along with the Champions League and Europa League, said he was part of a group that policed potentially egocentric new signings in case they upset the vital team-ethic. Among those names are Cristiano Ronaldo, Dimitar Berbatov, Carloz Tevez and Nani. But Rooney said it was always clear that no player – regardless of their price-tag or status - would be allowed to believe they were bigger than the team. “That would never be allowed to happen,” he revealed in an interview with the Men In Blazers TV show to be broadcast on NBCSN on Monday afternoon. “The likes of Ryan Giggs, Gary Neville, Paul Scholes, Rio Ferdinand myself - players who had Man U in them and wanted the best for that club - would never allow anyone to mess that up. “We controlled the dressing room ourselves. Alex Ferguson didn't really need to control that. The players had the trust of the manager to do that themselves.” During Rooney’s spell at Old Trafford, Rooney won a staggering 16 trophies.
