Wayne Rooney gifted his Manchester United teammate a Lamborghini after he was mocked for turning up to training in an Audi.

Rooney amassed a huge fortune through his legendary football career, having enjoyed a prolific and trophy-laden career at Man United.

He treated himself to a fleet of luxury cars and is believed to have owned a Bentley Continental GT and a James Bond-style Aston Martin.

Not to mention a Lamborghini, which he gifted to Carlos Tevez during his spell at Old Trafford.

Tevez joined the Red Devils on a two-year loan spell and forged a brilliant connection with Rooney on and off the field.

So much so that he presented him with a Lamborghini after he was mocked by his teammates for arriving to the club's training base in an Audi car.

Speaking to ESPN Argentina in 2019, he said: "It wasn't the same at Manchester United as at Boca.

"I missed a penalty at Boca and they killed me, this didn't happen at United."

Tevez revealed: "Even the worst player came with a Ferrari. I was there with an Audi which the club had given me and they all laughed at me.

"'Take the Lamborghini', Rooney told me. I went to find it at his house and he let me keep it for 10 days."

The Argentine also said he felt he had a lot in common with the Scouser given their backgrounds.

Rooney had a special bond with Tevez and called him his favourite player to play with during his career.

"I just loved our connection," he said. "The two of us up front, we complimented each other really well.

“Normally if I played with Louis Saha, Ruud van Nistelrooy or Robin van Persie - these strikers were always the No.9 and I’d play as a No.10.

“With Tevez we could rotate, I’d be the No.9, he’d take the No.9 spot and I’d be No.10. When we lost the ball we’d be like two bulls trying to get it back.

“As a strike partner, he was the one I enjoyed playing with the most.”
