Wayne Rooney fumed at Olly Murs for being late for training ahead Soccer Aid this evening.

Rooney, now player-coach at Derby County, will make his managerial debut in the charity fixture when he takes charge of the England side alongside Sam Allardyce at Old Trafford.

“We turned up, me and Wrighty, and he absolutely killed us!,” Murs told talkSPORT.

“He said ‘I can’t believe you’re late, why are you late for training? You’ve got to take this more seriously.

“I was like ‘woah, woah, woah, Wayne I’ve been doing some promos for the show’ – ‘Well, I don’t care, get out on the football pitch. Come on we’ve got to win it this year.

“He’s really excited, he’s been giving us the treatment. He’s been shouting at us, screaming at us.

“He wants to win and I love that.

“Turning up to Soccer Aid, as much as a laugh it is with all the lads, I love people taking it seriously because that’s what it’s all about.

“With Wayne, you can see it doesn’t matter what game it is, he wants to win.”

Rooney’s involvement comes after received special permission of his club Derby, who are in action in a pre-season friendly against Barrow today.
