WAYNE ROONEY showed off the picturesque grounds of his £20million Cheshire mansion as he caught up with old pal Gary Neville on The Overlap.
Wazza, 38, and wife Coleen forked out on the six-bedroom pad back in 2019.
Trolls at the time poked fun at the England and Manchester United legend’s purchase – likening it to a “Travelodge” and even a “Morrison’s”.
The property sits on a 40-acre plot of land, and includes a number of buildings, stables, two man-made fishing lakes and an orangery.
Rooney used his sprawling grounds to wander around with old pal Neville for his appearance on The Overlap.
The newly-named Plymouth Argyle manager answered 53 quickfire questions from Neville, in a nod to his tally of England goals.

During the conversation, Rooney’s enormous home could be seen looming over them in the background.
The mansion’s interior boasts a TV room, snooker room, bar, wine store, cinema, gym and swimming pool, as well as an underground tunnel to a six-car garage.
Its grounds, meanwhile, feature man-made fishing lakes with a bridge to cross over.
The Cheshire mansion is one of a fleet of properties, which also includes a £5m Barbados pad and £300k Florida apartment.

Rooney’s portfolio is set to expand in the near future, with the former striker having started house-hunting in Salcombe.
The Devon resort is among Britain’s costliest coastal hotspots.
Salcombe is around 25 miles east of Plymouth, which would give Wazza a manageable commute down to his new club.
Mum-of-four Coleen, 38, is said to be keen on having a second family home by the coast — although the Cheshire mansion will likely remain their principal base as their sons are enrolled in schools there.
During his chat with Neville, Rooney revealed his lowest moment in football to be his 2006 stamp on Ricardo Carvalho, which saw him red carded during England’s quarter-final clash with Portugal.
Speaking on The Overlap, brought to you by Sky Bet, he said: “The red card in the World Cup was my lowest moment in football.
“That was a difficult one because I remember going in the dressing room and thinking, if we go through, I’m suspended for the semi-final and final if we get there. If we don’t, it’s your fault.
“It was horrible.”
In the coming weeks, Rooney is set to balance his new gig at Plymouth Argyle with punditry work for the BBC at Euro 2020.
The Pilgrims’ Rooney appointment has seen their relegation odds plummet ahead of the new Championship season.
‘I’LL BE LIVING HERE’
Upon his arrival, Rooney spoke of the importance of forging a strong bond with the Argyle faithful – many of whom would be keen to see their manager move to the area on a full-time basis.
Rooney said: “It’s their club; it’s the fans’ club. People like myself, or players who are coming in, may be from different backgrounds and at different clubs, but ultimately now, we’re together as one.
“I don’t know how it’s been before, but fans will see open training sessions where they can come watch training, really feel a part of it from that point of view. I’m a coach who really has nothing to hide.

“I think the interaction with players, with myself, with the fans is so important. I’ll be living here.
“The fans will see me out in restaurants or in cafes, amongst the place. Feel free to come and say hello – I’m sure we’ll have a great relationship.”
