Former Manchester United forward Wayne Rooney explained which position on the field he liked playing the most.
«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.
