"I mean, I dont know. I dont have great instincts on that."Rooney responded to the remark in a recent episode of his show on the BBC,"The Wayne Rooney Show.""I think it was a very unfair comment. I mean, when I went into Birmingham, they were in a mess, really," the Manchester United legend began. "I think Tom came in once, which was the day before a game where the day is a little bit lighter anyway, and I dont think he really understood football that well at the time. Maybe he does now."FORMER PREMIER LEAGUE PLAYER GEORGE BALDOCK'S CAUSE OF DEATH REVEALED AS DROWNING ACCIDENTDespite taking offense to the remark, Rooney did give credit to Bradys methods that won him seven Super Bowl titles."But what he does understand is hes a hard worker. We know that. So, thats why Im really disappointed with the comment because football is not NFL.NFL works for three months of a year. Players do need rest as well. So, I think he was very unfair, the way hes come out and portrayed that."Listen, I respect Tom Brady massively. Hes one of the greatest, if not the greatest athlete of all time, and Birmingham do look like theyre getting it right now, which is good."Rooney was sacked after just 83 days at the helm of Birmingham City. He recorded just two wins in 15 matches as the club was relegated that season. Now,Birmingham City is one league away from thePremier League after securing a promotion last season.The Associated Press contributed to this report.Follow Fox News Digitals sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
