Rooney, who soon changed his mind and signed a new deal, says his decision to question Ferguson and Man United wasn't about money. He simply wanted to keep winning the sport's biggest trophies.
"They were offering me a contract of £200,000 a week," he says.
"It would have been quite easy for me to say, 'Five years, £200,000 a week, let me sign it now'. But I wanted success on the pitch. That means more to me."
Yet, Rooney's manager for nine years was not interviewed for the documentary. Rooney played over 400 games under Ferguson, but we only hear from the Scot via archive footage and he does not contribute to the film and speak about the player.
According to unconfirmed reports, Rooney 'did not want' Ferguson to be interviewed for the documentary. As neither man has commented on the situation, it is not clear exactly why Ferguson did not contribute.
What is clear, however, is that Man United have floundered in the years after the pair left. They may not have always seen eye to eye, but Rooney and Ferguson experienced some of the best days of their careers together.
