WAYNE ROONEY brought the house down with his hilarious mocking of Jamie Carragher.
The Everton star appeared on Monday Night Football ahead of Chelsea’s trip to Watford.
And he wasted no time in ripping into regular pundit Carragher, who came across the ex-Manchester United star on many occasions during his time at Liverpool.
After being introduced to the audience by host David Jones, Rooney said: “It’s great to be here.
“To be honest this is probably the closest Carra ever got to me so I’m sure he’ll enjoy it as well.”
The England legend was applauded on social media for his razor sharp wit.
