Wayne Rooney has hailed the influence of his former Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson, describing the coach as "incredible."

Rooney was brought to United by Ferguson in 2004 and went on to become a legendary figure at Old Trafford. The forward departed the club in 2017 as the top scorer in United history and having won numerous pieces of silverware.

The vast majority of those came under Ferguson, who left United in 2013 after a glorious 27-year tenure. Rooney has provided more information on what the great man was like during his time as boss, per The Sunday Times (h/t Goal).
