Wayne Rooney has revealed how he 'struggled to cover up tough periods' in his life and would 'react wrongly' while playing for Manchester United and England in a new documentary.
Speaking in the documentary Rooney, to be screened on Amazon Prime early next year, the Derby manager, 35, said he wanted to give viewers 'a real insight into what was going on inside my head' throughout a colourful career.
The father-of-four admitted he found trying to manage difficult periods in his life was lonely and 'tough', often leading to 'reactions' on the pitch.
