Derby County star Wayne Rooney says that then England teammate Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain had never heard of Marc Overmars.

Oxlade-Chamberlain was at Arsenal at the time, but he had never heard of the legendary Dutch winger who played for the Gunners.

Rooney said that he told Ox to go watch videos of Overmars to see how he played.

The latter was devastating at his prime, also starring for Barcelona.

Speaking to The Times, Rooney explained: "I've spoken to young players — a lot of the stuff they're watching is freestylers, skills and they actually don't watch the right stuff

"I remember speaking to [Alex] Oxlade-Chamberlain in the England squad. He was at Arsenal. I said to him, "You're coming to the ball too much; you've got your back to play and you're making it easy for defenders".

"I told him to come short, run off the ball. I said, "Go and watch Marc Overmars," and he didn't know who Marc Overmars was. I was like, "You're playing out wide for Arsenal, how can you not know Overmars?"'
