Chelsea's rising star, Cole Palmer, has revealed his deep-rooted admiration for former Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney. In a recent interview, the young Englishman admitted that despite his move to Chelsea, his love for United and Rooney remains strong.
When asked if his move to Chelsea meant he had stopped supporting Manchester United, Palmer was quick to dismiss the suggestion. "No, when I go back to the stadium it's good because obviously I used to go and watch the games there. Rooney [was my idol]. I supported United and he was the best player," he said.
Palmer's comments highlight the enduring appeal of Manchester United, even for players who have moved on to rival clubs. The Red Devils' rich history and iconic players continue to inspire young footballers around the world.
Since joining Chelsea from Manchester City, Palmer has quickly established himself as one of the most exciting young talents in the Premier League. His impressive performances have drawn comparisons to some of the league's greatest players, including Rooney.
Rooney's influence on Palmer is clear. The former England captain was a prolific goalscorer and a leader on the pitch, and his impact on the game was felt both domestically and internationally. Palmer's admiration for Rooney is a testament to the Manchester United legend's enduring legacy.
