"Manchester United" football legend Wayne Rooney recalled the times when he played alongside Carlos Tévez, who later switched the "Red Devils" for another Manchester team.

In a podcast on "The Overlap" channel, W. Rooney said: "Tévez was an absolute wild dog in training, but we accepted it as a normal thing since he gave all his energy on the pitch."

He hardly spoke English. I was used to picking him up from his home to the airport when flying to Champions League matches, but even during those short trips, we somehow managed to have a normal conversation. It was strange!”

Tévez, alongside Rooney and "Manchester United," triumphed in the Champions League in 2008.
