Manchester
United striker Wayne Rooney has revealed he gets annoyed when fans
chant his name at him in the street in an interview with Ant and Dec's
'little' counterparts on Saturday Night Takeaway.
The
England captain enjoyed a kick-around with Neil Overend and Hayden Reid
- or Little Ant and Dec as they are better known - for the
entertainment show to be aired on ITV at 7pm on Saturday.
And
Rooney admitted in the interview with the telly pranksters that he can
find it a little tiresome to have supporters chanting his name when he
is away from the football pitch, even if he does love the adulation he
enjoys at Old Trafford and Wembley.

Rooney is asked by Little Dec: 'Does it get annoying when people say "Rooney, Rooney, Rooney"?'
'It's
great when people say it in the stands,' the United captain says. 'But
if I'm in the street and people are doing it then it is annoying.'
The
pair, aged eight and seven and wearing full Newcastle United kits, then
chant Rooney's name at him and the 29-year-old jokes: 'Just like this!
That's the annoying part!'

pair the real Ant and Dec upfront together when asked which one he
would have in his team.

that, Rooney leads United out against Aston Villa at Old Trafford as
they look to consolidate their position in the Barclays Premier League's
top four.
The
England skipper missed a penalty on his last outing for United in their
win over Liverpool at Anfield, although he did score the opening goal
in his country's 4-0 win over Lithuania at Wembley before a 1-1 draw
with Italy during the international break.
