Roo hits out at ex-boss Moyes

Wayne Rooney has sensationally hit out at former Everton manager David Moyes claiming he is a 'control freak'.
Many felt Moyes was nurturing the Manchester United striker during his days at Goodison, but the Three Lions star has lifted the lid on their relationship.
Rooney is unhappy at how the Scottish tactician liked to impose himself, although the youngster had no problem standing his ground and fighting back.
"To me he appeared overbearing, just wanting to control people," explained Rooney in his autobiography, serialised in the Daily Mail.
"I suppose being young and confident and playing for England at 17, I wasn't bothered about upsetting him or answering back."
The Manchester United striker joined The Red Devils for £27 million two years ago, although he has stated would have joined Newcastle United.
The Magpies had a bid for the England international accepted before Sir Alex Ferguson came calling to get his man.
"If no-one else had come in I would have gone to Newcastle," he concluded. "I would have gone almost anywhere just to get away from David Moyes."
