Got mental help
Rooney admits that he has had difficulties at times and has received help with his mental health.
– I want people to get a better understanding of me as a person. Throughout the life of a young sports star, they go through difficult periods and in the film there are many moments where I talk about that I was far down and did not want to be around anyone, Rooney says, according to The Guardian.
– I let the kids down
– People talk about mental health, and at one point I got help. It’s about understanding what’s going through your head and trying to cope with the pressure that comes with playing for Manchester United, trying to be successful, play for your country and be captain of the country. Viewers will get a real insight into what went through my head, says Rooney.
