Rooney: I Used United Success To Taunt Liverpool Fans As A Kid

Wayne Rooney, who caused a fuss last season by telling a national newspaper he "hated" Liverpool FC, has today confessed that when he was growing up as an Everton fan, he used United's success to wind up any Liverpool fans he came across.

"United won most of the trophies in the 1990s and for me, as an Everton fan, it was a chance to have a go back at the Liverpool fans," said Rooney.
