10 funny Wayne Rooney acting videos, including DC United announcement and that Manchester United wine advert

Wayne Rooney confirmed his move to DC United on Thursday after leaving Everton.

The striker signed a two-and-a-half-year deal with his new Major League Soccer club and they announced the move with the following video.

This was not the first time Rooney’s ‘acting’ has been put to the test during his football career.

X-Men Apocalypse trailer

Rooney became a new superhero in this astonishing promo piece ahead of the release of X-Men Apocalypse in 2016.

Nike ‘Write The Future’ World Cup 2010 advert

The iconic Rooney ad. Wayne sees his career take two very different paths as part of Nike’s pre-World Cup film in 2010.

Turkish Airlines ‘Business Class’ advert

Wazza is only in this team effort for a few seconds, but instantly steals the show.

Nike ‘In The Zone’ advert

Back at a time when Rooney could afford to recklessly shave his hair, he did so for a Nike advert.

Nike Rooney v Rory McIlroy in football golf

This is less of an original idea now that ‘footgolf’ is increasing in popularity, though it does include a cameo from the Brazilian Ronaldo.

Nike ‘Put It Where You Want It’ advert

No words needed from the young United man.

Powerade ‘Rooney v Rooney’ advert

What’s better than one acting Rooney? TWO acting Rooneys of course.

Independence Day Resurgence trailer

Yet another Manchester United film trailer, thankfully for Wayne, he doesn’t shoulder all of the embarrassment this time.

Casillero del Diablo wine advert

What can you say about this masterpiece? Watch it and you will be lost for words.

David Ornstein tweets about Arsenal defender Calum Chambers possibly signing a new contract and fans responded with their funny memes

When David Ornstein tweets about Arsenal, the supporters listen and then reply to him with brilliant memes.

His latest bit of club gossip was about Calum Chambers signing a new contract.

This is obviously great news, but the fact Arsenal fans heard it first from the BBC Sport correspondent meant they could pay tribute to the ‘meme lord’ in their own way. Remember when he tweeted news of Bernd Leno’s arrival?

Chambers has been an Arsenal player since 2014 when the club paid Southampton £16million for him. He spent the 2016/17 season on loan Middlesbrough, but new manager Unai Emery has seen enough potential in the 23-year-old to want to keep him at the club. Arsenal have already snapped up Leno and Stephan Lichtsteiner, while they have also been linked with Borussia Dortmund centre-back Sokratis Papastathopoulos.

However, like many people on Twitter, talkSPORT.com was only there for the memes, which you can see a selection of below.

‘Boring’ France v Denmark World Cup game was ‘like watching Manchester United’

Well that was boring.

France v Denmark played out a goalless draw in the final match of Group C, with both nations going through to the last 16 of the World Cup.

But the poor display on the pitch was not well received at all.

“We can only hope that these two frauds get humiliated and knocked out in the round of 16,” Adrian Durham ranted on talkSPORT during the live coverage. “This was two sides not bothering to try to score a goal with any kind of professional conviction. It just fell short of any suggestion of collusion.”

One user on Twitter even suggested the game was good preparation for a season of watching Manchester United. The team have been criticised at times for their style of play under manager Jose Mourinho.

Below, talkSPORT.com has gathered some tweets from frustrated fans who listened and watched the match.

World Cup 2018: Jason Cundy issues apology on talkSPORT over remarks about female commentators

Jason Cundy has issued an apology on talkSPORT for his “idiotic” comments about female commentators.

The former Chelsea and Ipswich Town defender sparked fury during an appearance on Good Morning Britain on Monday, by saying he didn’t enjoy listening to a woman commentating during a match because their voices are too “high-pitched”.

Cundy was branded a “sexist pig” by GMB host Piers Morgan, and he admits he has got it badly wrong.

His foolish remarks came after Vicki Sparks made British television history by becoming the first female lead commentator for a World Cup match.

Speaking on the Sports Bar, which he co-hosts with Andy Goldstein, Cundy said: “I  want to sincerely apologise for the comments I made.

“I came away feeling how foolish and out of order they were and how I deserved the backlash that I received.

“There are times you have to admit you were wrong and admit you have been an idiot and today was definitely one of those days.

“I regret my comments and also the hurt and anger it has caused and realise there is absolutely no place for these demeaning comments towards female commentators and for that I am truly sorry.”
