Wayne Rooney leaves fans in stitches as he fails to find Liverpool and Manchester on a map in ‘fascinating’ test of his geography skills

Fans have taken social media to mock Wayne Rooney after he failed a geography puzzle miserably. 

The Manchester United legend, who was sacked as Plymouth boss in December, was the latest guest on the Overlap Fan Debate. 

In one of the segments, he was tasked with pointing out the location of a number Premier League stadiums on a map.  

Rooney had a slip-up gaffe early on, wrongly placing Aston Villa in Hereford – around 90 minutes away from Villa Park. 

Jamie Carragher quickly corrected him, saying, ‘that’s not there’, prompting a baffled Rooney to fire back, ‘well, where is it then?’ as the audience burst into laughter.

Despite being a born-and-bred Scouser and kicking off his career at Everton, Wayne Rooney stunned the studio by placing Manchester City’s badge right in the heart of Liverpool. 

Rooney’s most cringeworthy moment came when he bizarrely placed Everton – his boyhood club – over in Manchester, just east of the Etihad Stadium.

A stunned Jamie Carragher burst into laughter, blurting out, ‘are you serious?’ as the blunder left the studio in stitches.

Carragher placed Everton correctly in Liverpool and said, ‘It’s there, isn’t it?’ Rooney, clearly frustrated, fires back, ‘It’s f***** the same place.’* 

Fans took to X to mock Rooney, with one posting: ‘How can he have spent the first 18 years of his life in Liverpool and not realised you can see the sea’. 

Another said: ‘Wayne… Everton’s new ground not far from the old ground you’ve spent a chunk of your life is right by the water mate. Fascinating human being’. 

A third added: ‘Putting Everton nowhere near water is absolutely phenomenal.’
