Manchester United captain Wayne Rooney joined fellow Red Devils stars Sergio Romero, Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial in an innovative new video series, launched by the club’s global partner Swissquote, demonstrating the synergies between FX trading and football.

The ‘Take the Lead’ series showcases the similarities between players and traders in a unique split screen format.

Created from a point of view angle, the video details two visions in 180 degrees from the perspective of a player and a trader, giving viewers a unique 360˚ insight into the mental and physical preparation required away from the football pitch as well as with forex trading.

In the first video, above, you can watch England skipper Rooney limber up and prepare for a match.
