Rooney blames 'overbearing' Moyes for Everton exit
LONDON, July 25 (Reuters) - Wayne Rooney's soured relationship with Everton manager David Moyes hastened his departure to Manchester United, the England striker has said in his autobiography.
Rooney, who joined United in 2004 for a fee estimated at £25 million ($46.30 million), made his first-team breakthrough at Goodison Park as a teenager.
'I would have gone almost anywhere just to get away from David Moyes. If no-one had come in I would have joined Newcastle,' Rooney wrote in My Story So Far, serialised in the
Daily Mail.
'To me he appeared overbearing; just wanting to control people. I suppose being young and confident and playing for England at 17, I wasn't bothered about upsetting him or answering back.'
Rooney, a product of Everton's youth academy, made his first-team debut as a 16-year-old in 2002 and two months later, five days shy of his 17th birthday, became the Premier League's youngest scorer (since surpassed by James Milner) when he netted a superb match-winner against Arsenal.
His England debut followed in February 2003, a rapid rise to fame that Rooney said irked the Everton manager.
'There was only one person who seemed a bit upset and envious of what was happening to me - and that was Moyes,' said Rooney.
==========================
As a fan I'm disappointed to read about this. Rooney seems to have forgotten that it was Moyes who gave him the opportunity to play in the first team against the Arse, which led to that wondergoal which started everything.
Even if he does think Moyes was a bit overbearing why does he have to write about him like that in his own book(more like get someone to write it for him). It's going to make it a juicy read and people will buy a bit more of his books, but is it really worth it? why would Moyes ever be "jealous" about his success?
That's why Rooney has come to the right place to have Ferguson to monitor him and protect him just like what Giggsy went through. Hope he doesn't become another Beckham who loves the spotlight. unfortunately it seems like he's starting to become like that...
