Manchester United forward Wayne Rooney says Robin van Persie is the easiest player to wind up off the pitch.

Indeed, Wayne Rooney who is a bit of a bully, says it is so easy to make fun of him.

“I’d have to say Robin. He’s not the brightest!” Rooney said to DHL.

“As much of a good footballer he is, he’s definitely not the brightest off the pitch and it’s just easy to get to him.

“There’s a few who like to joke around. There’s no-one who stays really quiet and out of it.”

On the pitch he’s very bright…but Manchester United forward Wayne Rooney says Robin van Persie is the easiest player to wind up off the pitch.

Tom Cleverly says that Rooney is one of the main pranksters at Manchester United, with Rio Ferdinand, Danny Welbeck and Anderson.

“Team jokers?” said Cleverley. “There’s a few characters in our dressing-room.

“Wazza (Rooney) is always taking your phone if you leave it lying about. Rio, Ando, Welbz (Welbeck), they’re all bubbly characters. I just try to lay low and stay out of it.”
