Rooney, considered one of the greatest players in Premier League history, held the record for most goals scored for Manchester United during his 13-year tenure with the club.

Despite the success that came with his illustrious career, Rooney struggled with alcohol issues during his playing days.

In a recent conversation with former teammate Rio Ferdinand, Rooney spoke about how Coleen helped him navigate his darkest days.

Rooney recalled that Coleen had been aware of his struggles with football and partying since he was 17 years old, and that she played a crucial role in helping him manage his behavior.

He credited Coleen with being his "manager" and stated that without her, he would not be alive today.

Rooney acknowledged that Coleen's guidance was sometimes frustrating, but ultimately helped him stay on the right path and become the best version of himself.

He praised Coleen for her support over the past 20 years, crediting her with helping him overcome past mistakes and become a better person.

Rooney's comments highlight the significant impact his wife has had on his life and career, and the importance of her continued support in his personal growth.
