Wayne Rooney got his jaw snapped in Manchester brawl despite "enjoying" fighting

Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney got his jaw "snapped" after being hit by someone at a concert when he was just 13 years old.

The former England captain revealed the incident in Amazon's new documentary about his life and career, which is released on Friday.

He went on to win five Premier League titles, four League Cups, the Champions League, Europa League, FA Cup and Club World Cup during a glittering Old Trafford career.

Rooney also became United's and England's all-time leading scorer, as well as win the PFA Players' Player of the Year award in 2009-10.

"We'd be in the mosh pit, and there's probably about 15 of us, all Scousers, and we could be in the middle of Manchester, and always ended up being a fight
