Several Manchester United players took to Twitter to voice their admiration for Paul Scholes after the Ginger Ninja announced his retirement yesterday, Wayne Rooney was not one of them…

To be fair, Rooney has actually spoken to the MEN at great length about just how much he’s going to miss playing alongside ‘Sat Nav’ Scholes next season and also went on to brand the outbound midfielder as ‘the greatest player of his generation’ on Twitter – but that wouldn’t be nearly as funny, now would it?

Before any seething United fans take umbrage, it’s all just a bit fun.

    I wouldn’t even say Scholes is the best Man U player of his generation.

    Why does Rooney display such a lack of ability to converse intelligently about the game of football??

    Rooney, if only in real life he had the heart they instructed him to act with in that 2010 nike commercial… Dismal WC, Dismal CL final.
