Rio Ferdinand says Wayne Rooney has got what it takes to become the greatest United player of all time - and Rooney agrees.
The defender reveals his United and England colleague's ambition to become a Reds legend in his autobiogrpahy, Rio - My Story.
"We were talking about [George] Best, Bryan Robson and [Eric] Cantona and how they were legends at United and he went, 'I'll be the best player to play for United', and smiled.
"Deep down he really does believe he is, but he's not being cocky. People can see he's so good that it's possible he will be the best United player of all time, provided he can steer clear of the unfortunate injuries."
Rio also reveals how Rooney's skills are used for slightly less serious purposes at United's Carrington training ground.
"In training we always muck about for a couple of minutes before we start properly and Wazza, like Paul Scholes, is always trying different things saying, 'I'm going to hit the crossbar from here' or 'I'm going to hit the corner flag'," he said.
"You have to be on your guard because Wazza and Scholesy will aim to knock your head off if you haven't got your wits about you."
