Hehe! I have warned my players not to take selfies with Rooney, says Yeovil coach

This is really funny sha, as Thegoalmac can reveal that Gary Johnson has warned his Yeovil Town players not to be star-struck and look for "selfies with Wayne Rooney" when his side host Manchester United in the FA Cup third round on Sunday.


Louis van Gaal has indicated that he will name a strong side for the trip to Huish Park as he looks to make the most of one of the more presentable opportunities to win his first piece of silverware as United boss.

But Johnson says he will get "the raging hump" if he sees any sign that his players are in awe of the Premier League giants' galaxy of stars during Sunday's game.

"I don't want the lads having selfies with Wayne Rooney," Johnson told the Western Gazette.

"We are going into battle and trying to stop one of the best teams in the world. So there won't be any selfies while I'm around.

"Being star-struck by Manchester United is a concern and you can't stop human nature.

"This is a one-off game, which some of the lads aren't going to have again. I'm sure they will think: 'Can I get Wayne Rooney's boots?' You know that's going to happen.

"But we need to make sure we get into game mode. I don't mind it after the final whistle, but I will have the raging hump if my players swap shirts before then."
