      The ex-England skipper, who once said he was “the big man”, told them that having a “tiny penis” had not stopped him.
      However, it went down like a lead balloon among his Washington-based side. 
      A source said: “It was very funny and he hoped using personal references would make it look like the speech was from the heart. 
      “But the majority of his side were left bemused and struggled to understand what his sex life and size of his manhood had anything to do with what happens on the pitch. 

      “A few of the young lads were horrified. They don’t share the same British sense of humour.”
      The dad of four — who has been accused of cheating on wife Coleen, 36, several times — also opened up about his off-field mistakes.

      He told his players he came back from “f***-ups” and they could do likewise. 
      Rooney took over DC United in July but finished bottom of the MLS eastern conference.

      Haaland, who has scored 18 goals in 13 games for City, previously said his footballs were his “girlfriends”.
      He teased: “I sleep with the five balls for each hat-trick I have scored. I lie in bed and I feel good with them.”

      Fans had no idea she was Isabel, who was also previously spotted watching with his family in the stands while he was playing for Borussia Dortmund.
      A source said: “It seems to be pretty serious. Isabel has travelled to Germany and England to see Erling and now she’s been with him in Marbella.
      “Isabel is well known for her beauty in Bryne. They’ve always known each other.”

      “He needs to be able to trust the people in his life and just concentrate on football.”

      Qatar has rushed to knock up a number of “fan villages” to accommodate the more than one million fans expected to travel to the country during the four-week tournament.
      But many have complained that there were six-hour queues to enter the “sauna-like” cabins and that many sites were still unfinished.
      On Sunday, one disgusted World Cup fan walked away from his accommodation despite paying more than £2,500.
      The Sun Online already revealed that one visited by our reporter was as hot as 37C.

      Two of the fan camps – Fan Village Cabins Zafaran and Fan Village Cabins Free Zone – were reportedly hit with major issues last night.
      Fans reportedly were left sleeping rough, having to find alternative accommodation or waiting for up to six hours as they couldn’t access their pre-booked rooms.
      Multiple fans reported problems at check-in – with some even claiming they were told there simply wasn’t a room for them despite having a booking confirmation after forking out hundreds of pounds.
      And those that did get through complained about poor conditions not worth the price they forked out for the stay at the World Cup.

      Earlier on Wednesday, tensions reportedly spilt over, with one official seen trying to keep order in the fan zone.
      The country’s Supreme Committee confirmed to The Sun Online that it was aware of the issues facing fans.
      And they confirmed they would be offering FULL REFUNDS to fans and free alternative accommodation.
      In a statement, the Qatari Supreme Committee told The Sun Online: “We are aware that a number of fans have faced delays checking into select Fan Village accommodation due to owner and operator negligence.
      “A section of units in these facilities, which are delivered and managed by different private entities, have not met the required standards that were advertised to fans.
      “While these sites are managed by independent commercial entities, rectifying these issues remains the utmost priority for the Supreme Committee.
      “Full refunds are being offered to fans severely impacted by this issue as well as alternative accommodation which will be free of charge for the duration of their stay.”

      Supporters who turned up to their accommodation in recent days have described the fan villages as “unfinished”, with pictures showing workmen still on site, and piles of rubble littering the parks.
      “The beds are super hard and they only clean your room every three days – and I’ve had to chase down towels or toiletries,” one American fan staying at Zafaran until Friday told The Sun Online.
      “There is a lot of activity at the reception desk with many waiting a long time to ask question or get checked in.”
      “The waits don’t surprise me.”
      One Wales fan, who arrived in Doha on Sunday, told The Sun Online his arrival was “disorganised” – and things are only getting worse.
      “We were able to settle in before it has now got very busy,” he said.

      And his legal team even claimed our report would hit England’s chances of winning the World Cup.
      The letter was sent just a fortnight before Toney was charged with 232 breaches of FA betting rules.
      They argued: “The publication of the Article will not only inevitably have an unwarranted, unfair and adverse impact upon our client’s prospects of being selected for the squad, it will also cause disruption for the England manager, the national team and The Football Association at a time when all focus should be on selection of the best squad to give the England national team the best possible opportunity of winning the World Cup.”
      Toney then asked for a “written undertaking that no story of the alleged nature of the Article will be published”.

      The Sun on Sunday indicated that it was prepared to fight the injunction threat and Toney’s team backed down.
      If Toney, valued at £50 million, is found guilty he faces a lengthy ban.
      Leading barrister Gavin Millar KC, praised The Sun on Sunday, saying: said: “It was a very important story indeed for The Sun on Sunday to run and resist the injunction arguments.
      “This was not just about Ivan Toney, it was about the England squad – the most important squad story you can get.

      “That means the public interest in the story being run in a balanced way was very, very strong indeed.
      “Public figures like this should not be threatening papers like The Sun on Sunday.
      “It’s great to see there are still editors out there with the courage of their convictions.”
      Toney was left out of England’s World Cup squad but the FA chief executive Mark Bullingham said last week they did not tell Southgate to do that. More
