MANCHESTER UNITED legend Wayne Rooney is so competitive he makes his kids cry and wife Coleen roll her eyes.
The all-time England top goal scorer doesn’t like to let his kids win and it would get ‘to the point where they’re crying and upset.’
Discussing his new Amazon Prime Video documentary Rooney, Matt Smith admitted he was surprised by how competitive Rooney is.
He told ITV’s Lorraine, which airs weekdays at 9am on ITV and ITV Hub: “It just surprised me how competitive Wayne Rooney is and that’s probably because he’s a sportsman.
“But with the kids, he wouldn’t let them win, to the point where they’re crying and upset, and he just wants to beat them at everything.
“Coleen was rolling her eyes at him!”
Rooney is undoubtedly preparing his four boys for a potential life in professional sports where having a winning mentality is key.
Son Kai, 12, is on the books at Man Utd and is impressing despite his tender age.

The academy star hit FOUR past rivals Liverpool last year in a narrow 5-4 win.
Rooney told his son last December: “Keep up the hard work, son.”
Kai often gives Derby boss Rooney management advice.
The 36-year-old revealed: “My eldest lad Kai tells me which players we should sign, which players I should start.
“He said to me ‘I love driving home with you because I love listening to the conversations so when I’m old and I’m the manager I’m getting a head start.’”
