Wayne Rooney names Carlos Tevez as his favourite player to play with during his career, saying he and the Argentine had a great connection at Manchester United and were 'like two bulls' when chasing after the ball

Wayne Rooney has surprisingly named Carlos Tevez as the player he most enjoyed playing with throughout his career.

Rooney ranked the Argentine, who famously swapped Manchester United for neighbours Manchester City in 2009, above other strike partners including Cristiano Ronaldo, Robin van Persie, Zlatan Ibrahimovich and Ruud van Nistelrooy and England team-mates Harry Kane and Michael Owen.

He said the best thing about playing with Tevez was that they were similar types of players and had a remarkable understanding.
