Wayne Rooney BOOED off stage and ‘lost head’ after Man Utd legend tried hand at singing with huge band
WAYNE ROONEY was once booed off stage after singing for his Manchester United team-mates.
The Red Devils celebrated their 2013 Premier League triumph in style in what was Sir Alex Ferguson’s last season in charge.
Rio Ferdinand invited some of his team-mates to his restaurant where they enjoyed a performance from rock band Stereophonics.
The former centre-back visited his old stomping ground Carrington this week where he recalled the celebrations with ex-team-mates Jonny Evans and Darren Fletcher, who is now technical director at United.
Ferdinand revealed the Sterephonics were “brilliant” before Fletcher reminded him about how the night ended.
Fletcher said: “Wazza used to think he could be lead singer didn’t he? Remember the night he got booed off and he lost his head?”
Rooney was asked about his singalong while appearing as a pundit on TNT Sports for United’s clash with Everton.
The former United striker dismissed it as a bit of fun on a night out before Ferdinand interjected to claim he could “hit the notes”.
Wazza replied: “Some, not all.”
Rooney, 38, is no stranger to getting involved in a sing-song and once joined Phil Jones in a rendition of Red Red Wine at Chris Smalling’s wedding.

Rooney joined as a pundit on TNT Sports this week after finding himself out of managerial work following his sacking by Birmingham in January.
He has previously appeared on Sky Sports and made his debut for TNT Sports alongside Ferdinand on Saturday.
