Man Utd Players Were Involved in Vile Dressing Room Incident Before Match

Manchester United’s players were once involved in a disgusting pre-match dressing room incident ahead of an away game, according to Wayne Rooney.

Rooney, 39, is United’s all-time record goal scorer – with 253 strikes for the club – and played an important part in the Red Devils’ success between 2004 and when he left in 2017.

During his time at the club, he was managed by Sir Alex Ferguson, David Moyes, Louis van Gaal and Jose Mourinho.

Meanwhile, he shared a pitch with several icons, including Cristiano Ronaldo, Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes, and Rio Ferdinand, just to name a few.

The Liverpool-born forward left United with an impressive trophy haul - including five Premier League titles, one FA Cup, three League Cups, four Community Shields, one UEFA Champions League crown, one UEFA Europa League and one FIFA Club World Cup – before returning to boyhood club Everton.

And despite playing for one of the world’s biggest football clubs with some of the best players, his time at United was not always glamorous – particularly during away matches.

Rooney would often receive a hostile reception at Liverpool’s Anfield and Everton’s Goodison Park during his peak, but one away-day incident stands out as the worst to the 39-year-old – although he managed to avoid it due to suspension.

Speaking on ‘The Wayne Rooney Show’, the former striker was asked about the oddest away trips he encountered with United, and his response was utterly bizarre.

Rooney explained how his teammates’ dressing room was flooded by sewage in Sunderland ahead of a match.

"I was actually suspended [for the match],” Rooney recalled.

"But above the dressing rooms were the toilets, and it [the roof] came through when all of the players were in their clothes.

"I think there was a load of whatever goes into the toilet, all over the players and the clothes.”

He then continued and singled out Tottenham and Chelsea’s dressing rooms as being “always hot”, which caused him to “stand outside” after getting dressed as “quick” as he could.

"Anfield was always freezing,” he added. “I don't know whether they manipulate the temperature in there."

The boyhood Everton fan went on to admit that his dad wouldn’t go to Goodison Park due to the amount of “stick” he knew he’d receive from supporters following Wayne’s £27m move from the Toffees to United in 2004.

"Yeah, was horrible,” Rooney admitted. “Obviously, it's a ground I've been going to since I was a kid, a baby.

"My dad, that was the game he wouldn't go to. Because obviously he knew I'd be getting a lot of stick and he'd go to all the Everton games and he wouldn't go to that one, at Goodison."
