The striker was subject to interest from the Reds as a child, but he ultimately chose to join boyhood club Everton - but not until after he taunted their Merseyside rivals
Wayne Rooney has revealed how he rejected Liverpool's attempts to sign him a child by turning up to a trial in an Everton kit before signing for his boyhood club shortly afterwards.
The Manchester United forward, 29, was interviewed for BBC programme Wayne Rooney - the Man Behind the Goals, part of which can be watched above.

Rooney described how his goalscoring exploits attracted the attention of Anfield, but he wasn't keen on a move to Everton's Merseyside rivals so he wound up Liverpool before getting the last laugh by joining the Toffees - and the rest is history!
Rooney became England's all-time record goalscorer last month, overtaking Sir Bobby Charlton's long-standing tally that had stood for almost half a century.
The striker could well surpass Charlton as Old Trafford's top scorer by the end of the season, too - Rooney currently trails the World Cup 1966 winner by 14 goals at Manchester United.
