Rooney taunts Liverpool over title failures; he's a Harry Potter fan


Wayne Rooney has taunted Liverpool over their failure to win the title and revealed his desire to prolong their 19-year wait. Rooney, who grew up an Everton fan, was five years old the last time Liverpool were champions in 1990 and nothing would please him more than if leaders Manchester United wrecked their dreams for another season.

"Victory in the Premier League will definitely taste sweeter if we pip Liverpool to the title." said the United striker.

"That said, I've never had to endure much Liverpool success - the last time they won the league I was only a child."

HARRY POTTER FAN..

Wayne Rooney had revealed he's also in the club - the book club.

And as he backed a campaign to get children reading, the 23-year-old Manchester United and England ace named Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone as his favourite.

Roo, one of 20 Premiership players to recommend their top titles to schoolkids as part of a National Literacy Trust initiative, nominated JK Rowling's first novel about the boy wizard as the best in a series that "really gets your imagination going".
