Wayne Rooney has revealed that Carlos Tevez is the player he most enjoyed playing with during his career.
Rooney enjoyed an illustrious playing career, with many of his best moments coming at Manchester United.
Although he played alongside a wide array of talented stars including Cristiano Ronaldo, Rooney believes that it is Tevez who complimented his playing style the most.
Rooney and Tevez played together between 2007 and 2009 before the latter signed for United's rivals Manchester City.
United won the Premier League title in both of Tevez's seasons with the club and also lifted the Champions League in 2008 and the League Cup in 2009.
Rooney, United's all-time record goalscorer, stated that he 'loved' his connection with Tevez.
When asked who his favourite player to play with was, Rooney told Sportbible: 'Tevez. I just loved our connection.
'The two of us up front, we complimented each other really well.
'Normally if I played with Louis Saha, Ruud van Nistelrooy or Robin van Persie – these strikers were always the No.9 and I'd play as a No.10.'
Rooney added that he and Tevez would often swap positions to cause problems for opponents.
He said: 'With Tevez we could rotate, I'd be the No. 9, he'd take the No. 9 spot and I'd be No. 10. When we lost the ball we'd be like two bulls trying to get it back.
'As a strike partner, he was the one I enjoyed playing with the most.'
In total Rooney scored 253 goals for United before returning to Everton in 2017.
During his time as a United player Rooney five league titles, the Champions League, the FA Cup and three League Cups in addition to the Club World Cup.

well if there is anyone not reading with understanding I believe that is you, go and check tevez assist to Rooney and check Ronaldo assist to this same Rooney then come back 🔙 and prove me wrong, someone is jealous you're here trying to defend him I have been a man u fan since year 2001, I'm actually waiting for you to prove me wrong
stop fighting someone's opinion on who is best he has played with. Rooney didn't talk about assist, but who complimented his style of playing. that's why the understanding of reading what said comes in.

WR10 sacrificed himself for CR7 if you don't know
How? everyone has their role. Cr7 is a superior talent also. Same thing is said of Benzema but he didn't sacrifice anything. That's the area is best at. Cr7 is best at scoring and so coaches make him focus. If Rooney has more energy to fight for ball, that's is strength then. Don't tell me this player sacrificed for another player. In life, if you do what you are not very good at, you will soon become irrelevant. Benzema and Rooney did what they are best at and that's why they keep been relevant for so many years.

Rooney and tevez are the type of strikers that suit the modern times. gone are the days when strikers lurk in the box waiting for service. The 2 has tremendous workrate, pressure hard , counter fast, non stop movements. Infact , in the past, utd feds often swap positions to confuse markers. These days , players like rashford and Antony are too one dimensional, play the other flank and their effectiveness drops. luckily, garnacho looks good on both flanks recently. I hope ten hag would spend more time nurturing the new group of youngster at utd. players like Hojlund, Garnacho, diallo, pellestri, mainoo (all under 21) can form the backbone of the next generation. They need to play more together.

When he mentioned the attacking players he has played with, he didn't even mention CR7. Come on, check the stats. Ronaldo has over 70 assists and some of those are for Rooney and they played for 6 years. Just envy
