Rooney hits back at Brady over 'unfair' comments

Wayne Rooney has bitten back at Tom Brady over comments aired in a recent documentary depicting their short spell working together at Birmingham.

Brady, the legendary NFL quarterback and winner of seven Super Bowls, is heard during Built in Birmingham: Brady & the Blues, to question Rooney when he was manager. "I'm a little worried about our head coach's work ethic," Brady tells his business manager, Ben Rawitz. "I mean, I don't have great instincts on that."

That follows a terse encounter between Rooney, the five-time Premier League winner and Manchester United record goalscorer, and Brady before they attend a meeting with the squad. Rooney was sacked after two wins in 15 matches. Brady was at the training complex in his capacity as a minority owner, and as an adviser to the majority owner, Tom Wagner.
