There’s high praise too for Ji-Sung Park, the relentless engine who stopped Andrea Pirlo and how players like Darren Fletcher and Owen Hargreaves played key roles at Manchester United.

    Mar 16 2026

    Wayne reflects on Max Dowman’s breakthrough moment for Arsenal and explains why those first moments can stay with a player forever. He also discusses how young players should be supported, balancing the hype around them with the need to protect their development based off his own experiences at 16.

    They talk about Bruno Fernandes’ influence and consistency during a difficult period for Manchester United and there's also praise for Liverpool youngster Rio Ngumoha, whose direct style and willingness to run at defenders has caught Wayne’s attention.

    Mar 13 2026

    Wayne Rooney sits down with Michael Owen to look back on two of the most explosive teenage breakthroughs English football has ever seen.

    At the heart of the conversation is the big debate: who really made the bigger impact at 18?

    They also discuss whether modern football still allows teenage stars to emerge in the same way, and how today’s forwards, from Erling Haaland to Hugo Ekitike are developing and whether the Frenchman can become truly world class..

    Michael and Wayne compare themselves to the young players coming through today, and whether Liverpool on form are the best team in the Premiership and should Michael Carrick get the Manchester United job permanently.

    They reflect on the pressure of playing for England, the dressing rooms they walked into as teenagers, and the expectations that followed them throughout their careers, from Anfield and Old Trafford to major tournaments with the national team.

    It’s a frank and entertaining look at two remarkable careers, and the teenage moments that defined them.
