Rio Ferdinand names Wayne Rooney as his worst ever team-mate in BBC podcast... as the former Man United man reveals the pair used to 'argue once every two or three games' because he 'wanted forward to be a top striker'

Rio Ferdinand has branded Wayne Rooney his worst-ever team-mate in a new podcast.

Ferdinand and Rooney enjoyed years of success together at United, winning a number of trophies from Premier Leagues to Champions Leagues.

United's form has dipped incredibly since, but the era of the pair playing together from 2004-2014 will be remembered as one of the club's best under the stewardship of Sir Alex Ferguson.

So it may surprise many for Ferdinand to have named Rooney as his worst-ever team-mate, as he explained how the pair used to argue repeatedly on the pitch during matches.
