‘You ain't well man' – Rio Ferdinand screams at Wayne Rooney's driving as Man Utd stars reunite for US road trip
RIO FERDINAND screamed at Wayne Rooney's driving as the Manchester United legends reunited in the United States. The Red Devils' current crop have jetted across the pond for pre-season games against West Ham, Bournemouth and Everton. 4 Rio Ferdinand and Wayne Rooney went on a US road trip Credit: INEOS GRENADIER 4 Ferdinand, 46, looked terrified at Rooney's off-road driving Credit: INEOS GRENADIER To mark the occasion, United sent club legends Ferdinand and Rooney on a US road trip, captured on camera for Ineos Grenadier's YouTube channel. The idea was inspired by Rooney's infamous April 2011 tweet, in which he wrote, without directly addressing Ferdinand: "Hi rio do u want picking up in the morning pal." For the road trip, it was actually Ferdinand that picked up Rooney in Manchester, Michigan - with the pair making a 250-mile trip to Chicago. During the adventure, the pair stopped off for an off-road driving experience. The duo appeared to have a brilliant time, although Ferdinand looked terrified at one point. The former centre-back, 46, went first, laughing as Rooney said "Easy, easy" while sitting in the passenger seat. Ferdinand then asked "Do you want a go?" - to which Rooney replied: "I thought you'd never ask me." Worried about his pal's driving, Ferdinand said: "This is where it gets a bit sticky for me."

Woah, Jesus!" Laughing, Ferdinand added: "You ain't well man, oh mate." Wayne Rooney lands £800k deal to be Match of the Day pundit as he and wife Coleen become British TV's new power couple Giggling, Rooney said: "It's sick that, you know." To which Ferdinand replied: "My hands are sweating. I ain't doing that." Ferdinand quit his role on TNT Sports after last season's Champions League final in order to focus on his own content. Rooney, meanwhile, has landed a position potentially worth £800,000 to work as a pundit on Match of the Day - having not managed since being sacked by Plymouth Argyle on New Year's Eve. Manchester United began their pre-season schedule with a 0-0 draw against Leeds in Stockholm last weekend. Ruben Amorim's side will next be in action on Saturday night as they take on West Ham at MetLife Stadium.

Amazon Prime's ‘dark' new crime thriller shocked me for an unexpected reason
To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video This Metro review is based on three out of six episodes. I love a good thriller. Who doesn't? The way that the high-octane action sends adrenaline racing through your veins. The cliché tropes that you can see coming from a mile away, but that you can't help but lap up all the same. Going into The Assassin, starring Bodyguard's Keeley Hawes and The Good Doctor's Freddie Highmore, I was expecting to enjoy it. But the impact it had on me took me off guard in a way I wasn't expecting. The new Amazon Prime series created by The Tourist's Harry and Jack Williams isn't just packed with gripping twists and stunt choreography that'll have you on the edge of your seat. It's also funny. And not just enough to spark a light chuckle. It's funny in a quintessentially British fashion, with humour that's dry and relatable. I was sucked in straight away. In a tale that one YouTube user commenting on the trailer described as 'Lara Croft meets Norman Bates', referencing roles previously played by Keeley and Freddie, The Assassin follows a former hitwoman who's forced to come out of retirement. Julie (Keeley) is the titular assassin, who's been out of the business for years and, in the present day, has a grown-up son called Edward (Freddie). The pair have a fractured relationship, especially considering how reluctant Julie is to divulge any details on the identity of Edward's father, a mystery that will undoubtedly unravel as the series goes on. Having not seen his mum in a while, Edward pays her a visit on the remote Greek island where she's now living. What begins as an awkward meet-up between an estranged mother and son quickly turns into a fight for their lives when a terrifying incident occurs. Amid the chaos while they're on the run, Julie finally reveals to her son what she used to do for a living, having previously told him that she was a headhunter (not the most inaccurate description of her profession). But the uber-cautious journalist Edward also has secrets of his own that he has been keeping concealed. It's mind-boggling to me that Freddie, 33, and Keeley, 49, haven't worked together before when their on-screen chemistry is this dynamic. Metro had the opportunity to attend an early screening of the first episode of The Assassin, followed by a Q&A session with the writers and actors. Even there in London's Soho Hotel, you could tell how in tune the pair were with each other, making it clear why they work so well as an on-screen mother-son duo. We recently spoke to Freddie (more on that to come), during which he explained how he and Keeley had been on the same page from the get-go. I hope we get to see them work together again in the future. The Assassin begins all guns blazing – literally – with a flashback to Julie's past, when she's still in full swing as a highly-trained assassin in her younger years (played by Georgina Bitmead). Fast-forward three decades, and her days as an unstoppable killing machine are behind her. Or so it would seem. Shortly after Edward arrives on the Greek island where she now lives, Julie is reluctantly drawn back into her former profession. But the mission she's been tasked with doesn't go to plan, and she goes from being the predator to the prey, with Edward in tow. Keeley and Freddie are joined in the cast by actors including Shalom Brune-Franklin as Kayla, Devon Terrell as Ezra, Alan Dale as Aaron Cross, Jack Davenport as Sean, and Gina Gershon as Marie. Julie's failed mission appears to be connected to secretive business dealings, as well as a tech whiz called Jasper (David Dencik), who's been holed up in an Albanian prison. More Trending I was immediately enraptured by The Assassin's fast-paced action and cleverly choreographed fight sequences, as well as the wry British wit embodied by Julie and Edward as they strive to make something of their awkward relationship. Despite the wild twists and turns of the story, it still feels relatable and grounded at its core. Julie's no-nonsense wisecracks are a joy to watch, as is Edward's bumbling nature as he's forced to grapple with his entire world being flipped upside down. While he's the sensible one, his mother lives life on the reckless side – an entertaining subversion of the typical roles played by a parent and child. It's Mamma Mia combined with Taken, with a dash of Black Doves thrown in for good measure. Having only seen the first three episodes out of six so far, I feel as though the series still has room to grow to give me the level of TV-watching satisfaction that I crave as an avid fan of the genre. I can't predict how the show will end – but I'm firmly strapped in. View More » The Assassin is now available to watch on Prime Video in the UK & Ireland. Got a story?

How Oasis shrugged off tensions between Liam and Noel to rock Murrayfield for the first time in 2000
Tickets cost just £27 when Oasis first played Murrayfield Stadium in July 2000. But most fans were simply relieved the band made it on stage at all after a string of bust-ups between the Gallaghers, says Chris McCall Liam Gallagher strolled on stage, leaned in to his microphone and announced the first song of the evening. "This one's for Frankenstein!," he excitedly shouted. Noel rolled his eyes. "Whatever that means, who knows?" he told the crowd. The drum loop of Go Let It Out kicked-in and the 60,000 strong crowd roared its approval. It was July 29, 2000, and Oasis were headlining Murrayfield for the first time. It was a gig many thought wouldn't happen, coming just days after the band played a disastrous second night at the old Wembley Stadium. Speculation was rife Noel would announce his permanent departure from the group before he arrived in Edinburgh, or would confirm he was quitting immediately after the show. Tensions in the band were so bad that the songwriter had already walked out on Oasis once that year after a now infamous dressing room bust-up in Barcelona. A replacement guitar player was brought in, and the group limped on through its remaining European tour dates. Noel, fans were told, would be back in time to play a massively anticipated stadium tour across the UK and Ireland. The first night at Wembley in July went smoothly and the show was later released as the Familiar to Millions live album. The second night was broadcast live on Sky TV - a novelty at the time for a huge stadium gig - and went very differently. If you've never heard Liam's on stage rant about his recent divorce ("she's left me with a teabag!"), it's all there on YouTube. It was rumoured the singer hadn't slept between the gigs. Noel, it's fair to say, was less than impressed with his brother's performance. So the fact Oasis made it on stage at Murrayfield at all came as a huge relief to all those with tickets, myself included. I was 14, going on 15, and had scraped together the £27 cost of a standing ticket. This was a time when I was paid £12 for a five-day paper round. The Gallaghers, perhaps reflecting on the carnage of the previous weeks, were on their best behaviour in Edinburgh. But Liam still found time to share his frank opinions on the speculation his band were finished. As Stand By Me came to a close, the signer firmly told the crowd: "That one's for all the silly journalists who keep going on about 'oh this is the last gig' and all that s**t. No one f***ing knows what's happening." There was a lighter mood before the band played Shakermaker. The supposed rivalry between Oasis and Robbie Williams, then the country's biggest solo star, was still being played out in newspapers. "This one's for fat arse," Liam announced, without explanation. The crowd responded with a less-than-flattering chant about Williams. It proved an icebreaker for the Gallaghers, who had been eyeing each other warily until that point. "Enough of that s**t, let's get back to business," retorted Liam to the crowd. Noel, deadpan as ever, added: "Robbie Williams is one of the finest actors the world has ever seen, and he's an amazing stand-up comedian as well." The brothers seemed slightly taken aback by the level of enthusiasm they were greeted with from the Murrayfield crowd. There was no front pit in the standing section - meaning anyone was free to force their way from the very back of the pitch to the stage, if they were brave enough. Noel stopped just two songs in to remind the crowd: "This is an Oasis gig, but cool out down the front, man." I had arrived early with my school friend Graeme. This wasn't my first gig, or even my first show at Murrayfield. I was used to visiting Edinburgh without adult supervision. But Oasis was a different level of atmosphere. Inside the stadium, we wisely positioned ourselves on the front barrier and decided to stay there, come what may. It was a terrific show. The disaster of the second Wembley night, and a week of negative press headlines writing off the band, had combined to push Liam and Noel's performance up several notches. Somehow, we even managed to stay at the front barrier for the whole gig, safe from the swaying masses behind us. But not everyone was impressed. News reports in the days after the gig focused on the vast amount of litter dropped in and around the genteel Murrayfield neighbourhood. One councillor thundered that Oasis should be banned from ever performing in the Capital again. They told one newspaper: "We are taking legal advice. The people of Edinburgh would expect nothing less. Old ladies in Roseburn are entitled to protection. This was not the normal Saturday rock concert. The place was under siege.'' Oasis, however, would return to headline Murrayfield once again in 2009, a show that wasn't a patch on their 2000 performance. They would also play the Usher Hall and the Corn Exchange venues in the Capital in the same decade. How will the 2025 version of Oasis fare in comparison? The footage from Cardiff and Manchester suggest this is a slick, well-rehearsed band who have all enjoyed a good night's sleep before each show. Have they lost their manic spontaneity of old? We'll find out soon.
