It is February 12, 2011, a day of Mancunian derby, and Wayne Rooney is definitely making the legend of the Red Devils.
With a fabulous acrobatic kickback against City, he offered a decisive victory in the quest for the Premier League title and electrified the grounds of Old Trafford.
Top scorer in the history of the club (253 goals from 2004 to 2017), but also of the English selection (53), Wayne Rooney comes this Friday to announce the end of his adventure on the lawns.
At 35, the one who has often been called a "bad boy" decided to take care of the Derby County club full time, in bad shape in the 2nd division (22nd out of 24 in the Champioship).
Since the dismissal of Dutch coach Phillip Cocu in November 2020, he was already in the role of interim coach, while continuing his career.
The Everton-trained player also made his mark in the history of the Three Lions in 120 caps, after having participated in three World Cups and three Euros.
Only Peter Shilton has played more games with the national team.
A moving farewell was returned to him in November 2018 at Wembley.
The moment all of Wembley was waiting for!
The entry of Wayne Rooney, for his 120th and last selection.
