Rooney picked Darren Fletcher as his best teammate but included others who were good.

"Best teammate? I'd say Darren Fletcher, he's my best mate, he said via Sportbible. "There were a few - John O'Shea, Wes Brown, Michael Carrick - we were all really close. But Fletch was probably the one. We sat next to each other in the dressing room and shared really good moments on and off the pitch together. We're really good friends s I'd say Darren Fletcher is my best teammate and closest."

The former Everton forward and Fletcher spent 11 years together at the club and played 228 matches together.

Ronaldo sends message to Erik ten Hag

Briefly News also reported that Man United legend Cristiano Ronaldo sent a message to the club and coach Erik ten Hag.

The Al-Nassr star aimed a thinly veiled criticism at Erik ten Hag for his remarks suggesting that Manchester United are not in contention for major titles this season.

Ten Hag’s candid assessment, which compared United’s current capabilities to those of their Premier League rivals vying for Champions League spots, may have had some merit, given the team's start to the 2024/25 campaign.
