The forward revealed he switched his approach to Merseyside derbies when returning to the club from Manchester United.

Rooney made a heroic return to Goodison Park in 2017, having previously left Everton for United as a teenager.

But while the Liverpool-born ace left for the States in the following summer, he was still able to part his wisdom on his Everton counterparts.

When asked about his approach to Merseyside derbies, the ex-England man told Sky Sports: "When I went back, as a young player you understand the game but around it, you are just going with the flow with the senior players.

We had to get them to turn the TVs off so the game wasn’t constantly on people’s minds and get them to relax a little bit more."
