I just loved our connection.\u201d Rooney told SPORTbible when asked who was his favourite player to play with. \u201cThe two of us up front, we complimented each other really well.<br \/>\n\u201cNormally if I played with Louis Saha, Ruud van Nistelrooy or Robin van Persie \u2013 these strikers were always the No.9 and I\u2019d play as a No.10.<br \/>\n\u201cWith Tevez we could rotate, I\u2019d be the No.9, he\u2019d take the No.9 spot and I\u2019d be No.10. When we lost the ball we\u2019d be like two bulls trying to get it back. As a strike partner, he was the one I enjoyed playing with the most.\u201d<br \/>\nTevez\u2019s tenure at Old Trafford &#8211; the centrepiece of which came with the 2008 Champions League Final triumph &#8211; was somewhat overshadowed by the player\u2019s infamous third-party ownership, and a subsequent move to neighbours Manchester City left Rooney stricken by his sudden exit in 2009.<br \/>\n\u201c[It was] devastating,\u201d the forward added. \u201cI enjoyed playing with him so much and I knew something was going on because there was the issue with his ownership in terms of whether it was the club or an agent.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MANCHESTER The former England international enjoyed a celebrated Premier League career, playing alongside some of the game\u2019s greatest-ever minds Former Manchester United forward Wayne Rooney has revealed that it is not Cristiano Ronaldo but Carlos Tevez who was his favourite player to star alongside during his Old Trafford playing days.
