Everton midfielder Davy Klaassen admits he does not want to speak to Wayne Rooney about last season's Europa League final, the memory of which the Dutchman still finds painful.
Klaassen was the captain of the Ajax side beaten 2-0 by Manchester United in the match in Stockholm, which saw Rooney come off the bench to make his last Red Devils appearance.
The pair are now Everton teammates and set to feature in the Toffees' Europa League Group E opener against Atalanta in Reggio Emilia on Thursday evening.
When Klaassen was asked ahead of the contest if he had spoken to Rooney about last term's final, the 24-year-old said: 'I didn't really talk about it, because I don't want to talk about the final.
