Wayne Rooney’s career

Rooney announced himself in the greatest possible way, scoඣring a superb last-minute goal to give the Toffees a 2-1 win against Arsenal in October 2002 and end the reigning champions’ 30-game unbeaten run.

Rooney spent two seasons in ༺Everton’s first-team before moving to Manchester United for £25.6million in the 2004 summer transfer window.

He went fr🌠om strength to strength at Old Trafford, becoming their top goalscorer of all time with 253 goals and winningꦡ 16 trophies.

Indeed, Rooney became one of only two English players, alongside Michael Carrick, to win the Premier League, FA Cup, Champions League, Lea𝕴gue Cup, Europa League, and Club World Cup.

Man United then allowed Rooney to re-join Everton on a free transfer⛎ in 201💧7, spending a year back at Goodison Park.

The twilight🔜 of his career saw him enjoy stints at MLS side DC United and EFL side Derby County, where he was briefly player-coach.

Rooney is also England’s second-most-capped player on 120 caps, behin🅺d Peter Shilton, and second-topꦦ goalscorer with 53 strikes, with Harry Kane ahead of him.
