WAYNE ROONEY says he was warned that he would be “f***ed” if there was a nuclear attack – while he was playing golf with Donald Trump.
The Manchester United and England legend was still on the books of MLS side DC United when he went head-to-head with the United States President.
Rooney made a trip to Trump National golf course after a friend flew in from Manchester to pay him a visit.
But they were joined by an unexpected player after the former striker was told that Trump wanted to get involved.
And Rooney, during a guest appearance on A League of Their Own, has revealed that the President joked the ex-Everton man would be left for dead if there was a nuke blast.
He said: “When he was President the first time, I went to play golf.
“My friend was over from Manchester. We went to play golf at his course and when we got there, there were sniffer dogs and there was security everywhere.
“And he said, ‘the President’s coming in, he’s playing with you’. We’re playing with snipers everywhere. There’s all kinds. It was surreal.
“There were three big Escalades there. And one of them had a box on the back.
“So, I said to him, ‘what’s that for?’. He said if there’s a nuclear attack, he gets put in that and airlifted out. So I was like, ‘what happens to us?’. He was like, ‘you are f***ed’!”

Rooney was asked by Trump to coach his son Barron when he was living in the United States in the closing stages of his career.
He and his wife Coleen were also invited to a Christmas party at the White House during Trump’s first term as President.
Rooney rolled back the years by attempting to recreate his iconic overhead kick strike in Manchester United’s win over Manchester City when he was in front of a live TV audience for A League of Their Own.
The five-time Premier League title-winner, 40, has been working as a pundit since he was sacked by Plymouth in December.
It was the fourth managerial role of Rooney’s career, having also bossed Derby, DC United and Birmingham.
