'You had to man-mark him with a security guard on a night out!' – Neville picks Rooney as the toughest player to captain

Manchester United legend Gary Neville has revealed Wayne Rooney was the most difficult player he captained during his tenure leading the Red Devils.

Neville took over as captain from Roy Keane in 2005 - leading the club to a Champions League triumph and four Premier League titles over six seasons.

When asked by Sky Sports pundit Kelly Cates about who was the hardest Man Utd star to keep under reins during his spell as skipper, Neville was quick to mention Rooney as the most challenging.
