  I started watching this thinking I can’t believe how vulnerable Rooney is allowing himself to be in this interview. The more you watch you realise this is a man who has honesty and integrity flowing from him because he doesn’t know any other way. Absolutely loved this interview and I’m a Liverpool fan. Well done! Wonderful interview 👏👏👏

  This and the Owen one are honestly two of the best football conversations I’ve seen. There are so many podcasts out there right now and the space feels saturated, but you’ve nailed the format. The key is how you get guests to really open up and show us who they are and &nbsp;you’re doing it brilliantly. I’m seriously loving the chats you’ve been putting out lately

  Rio is a good interviewer. Just let&apos;s people talk and doesn&apos;t interrupt. Very underrated skill.

  Not a United fan by any means, but I&apos;ll always remember Rooney&apos;s long-range volley against Newcastle. Chatting to the ref, obviously frustrated by the whole thing, and channeled it into an absolute thunderbolt that rocketed past the keeper. Rooney in his prime was one of the best the EPL has ever seen

  Growing up in hardship has obviously made him such a humble and generous human. He turned out a few months ago to play a charity match at the Manchester Grammar School in memory of my best friend, Stuart Dale. Stuart was just a porter and I was amazed to find out later that Wayne Rooney had agreed to play in that match.

  Wazza has become a lot more talkative in recent times, and I&apos;m here for it

  One of the best interviews you&apos;ve ever done Rio! Probably the best Wazza interview I&apos;ve seen. Brilliantly open and honest from both of you.

  This is the most honest and open I’ve ever seen Rooney be and I think it’s good for him. Good for the game. Well done. &nbsp;I’ve always wanted him to be successful as a manager and being open and honest gets you respect from the people you are managing.

  People talking about Cristiano, Messi, R9, Ronaldinho etc but me, Rooney is my GOAT. He is the main reason i love football so damn much. Mind you i&apos;ve start watch football since 1999, start being a fan of our red shirt with Giggs, Beckham&apos;s flair back then But Rooney&apos;s arrival just solidify my love for the game and the club. What a player.
