Former Manchester United forward Wayne Rooney explained which position on the field he liked playing the most.
Wayne Rooney, Getty Images«I liked playing anywhere, anywhere in midfield or the forward line. When I was in my best form, I appeared on the left or right, and sometimes even behind the midfielders. Just playing, being on the field in the attacking third was what I enjoyed. If you want me to name one position, it’s probably the number ten.
I had two seasons where I played as the number nine and scored 34 goals in both seasons, but I was bored. I remember walking off the field having scored two goals and thinking: 'I played terribly.' I didn’t like playing with my back to the goal, rarely receiving the ball,» Rooney said in an interview with BBC Sport.
