Harry Redknapp plays ‘Winner Stays On’ game and picks Wayne Rooney over Eric Cantona and Brazil legend Ronaldinho

Harry Redknapp played a game of ‘Winner Stays On’ and displayed his admiration for Wayne Rooney. 

Redknapp will manage Team England at Soccer Aid on June 9 and his backroom staff includes Frank Lampard, Robbie Williams and David Seaman. 

Gary Cahill, Jermain Defoe, Jack Wilshere are among the name he will manage along with a host of other big names such as Sir Mo Farah, Stuart Broad and Steven Bartlett. 

On Soccer Aid’s social media, Redknapp took a turn in playing ‘Winner Stays On’ where he was given the option of two players and had to stick with one until a better one appeared on the screen. 

To start off, the former Tottenham and Portsmouth manager picked Paul Scholes over Lampard having initially struggled to make a decision.

He then picked the ex-Manchester United midfielder over Eden Hazard before the former fell to Luis Figo. 

The 2000 Ballon d’Or winner was then put up against Wayne Rooney and Redknapp unsurprisingly picked the latter. 

The 77-year-old even picked Rooney over Ronaldinho, who many rate as one of the greatest to play the game, and Eric Cantona. 

His selection comes despite not having had the opportunity to manage the former striker during his time on the touchline.  

The Manchester United and England legend was eventually eliminated by Zinedine  Zidane, who Redknapp also picked over his son Jamie.
