Speed, cold calculation and technical skills always help him find himself at any point football field at the most unpredictable moment, which invariably leads the team to victory. On the way to his dream, Wayne overcame obstacles more than once and managed to stir up football stands. It was all these qualities that allowed football player Wayne Rooney to become bright football star. Wayne Rooney today is a true legend of British football. He plays for the Manchester United football club. Rooney is a first-class player for the English national football team. And what allowed such an undoubtedly talented guy to become a star? English football and a world-class professional, we will try to find out from the detailed biography of the football player Rooney. Perhaps the answer to this question lies in distant childhood or adolescence.
Wayne Rooney's childhood and family tree
Wayne Rooney, a native of Liverpool, was born on October 24, 1985. Thomas Rooney, Wayne's father, was a simple dock laborer in Liverpool. Janet Mary Morrie, Wayne's mother, stayed at home with little Wayne and his brothers, taking care of the house. In addition to being born and built his football career in England, Wayne Rooney's roots run deep and he also has Irish blood. Wayne himself is incredibly proud of his Irish roots, but since he spent his entire life in England, he can no longer imagine another homeland.
Wayne was the first-born in his family; he later had two younger brothers. Together with them, the future star of British football Rooney went to Catholic school, and in the evenings they together attended the game of their favorite football team Everton, who played at the famous Goodison Park stadium. Wayne loved to play football with his brothers. Rooney has always been a little overweight, but this did not stop him from demonstrating a highly technical game and standing out when playing on the field. In some sources of Rooney's biography you can read that already, as a 7-year-old teenager, he became a player on the local bar's football team and was very popular in those circles. This went on for some time.
At school, Wayne was the most capable scorer on the school football team. In addition, he was a children's striker football club"Copplehouse Boys", this club participated in the games of non-professional leagues in Liverpool. During one such amateur children's match, Wayne Rooney was noticed by Everton scouts, who immediately decided to invite such a capable and bright young man to their school. After a short period of time, Rooney received an offer to join the famous Liverpool team. But the future hero and professional striker of world football decided to stay in his beloved Everton since childhood. His further education continued at Iriski. He immediately became one of the favorites. His game was brilliant, and the power of his blow corresponded to the strong-willed character of a true Irishman. Wayne grew rapidly in his professionalism, and his goals and passes became clearer and more polished.
By the age of 11, the footballer Wayne had achieved universal recognition by the club's coaches and players; they began to release him as the mascot of the Liverpool squad on the field. It was rumored that this energetic red-haired boy brings good luck with him, and after his release the team will definitely defeat the enemy completely! Wayne Rooney worked hard at football and, of course, everyone noticed that he was progressing quickly. They promised him a future as a famous forward. Thanks to his drive and ambition, by the age of 15, Wayne had become a goalscorer for Everton's youth team, although more experienced older players should have joined it. Rooney scored more than a hundred goals per season and therefore quickly changed teams, everyone wanted such a player in their team. Rooney also continued to play in the England national team, winning victories at various international football competitions.
England career
On February 12, 2003, Wayne Rooney made his debut for the England national team, becoming the youngest player in its history (three years later, Theo Walcott would surpass this achievement). And in the summer of 2004, everyone knew about Wayne Rooney. I admit that I had heard about the extraordinary talented forward from Everton before, but I was able to see Rooney play for the first time in the legendary France-England match.
Then Wayne, with the score 1:0 in favor of the English, earned a penalty, forcing Fabien Barthez to foul, who could not convert David Beckham, and in stoppage time two goals from Zinedine Zidane turned everything upside down.
But in the following matches, Wayne Rooney's doubles ensured the English victory over the Croats and the Swiss, and who knows, if he had not left the field due to injury in the first half of the quarter-final match against (the score by that time was 1:0 in favor of the English), as in In the end, that meeting would have developed.
And at the 2006 World Cup, England lost to the Portuguese, and again in the quarter-finals, and again in a penalty shootout. This time Wayne Rooney acted as a negative hero, leaving his team in the minority - in the 62nd minute, Argentine referee Elisondo Oracion showed Rooney a straight red card for a flagrant foul against Ricardo Carvalho.
To be fair, I note that Rooney went to that tournament having barely recovered from a broken metatarsal bone in his foot, received at the end of the English Championship. The whole of England was then following the forward’s recovery; the fans simply did not allow the thought that this key player for the national team (who was only 21 years old!) would miss the World Cup.
The epic of failures with the national team continued: they missed Euro 2008, were eliminated from the 2010 World Cup largely due to a refereeing error, at the 2012 European Championship they again unsuccessfully took a penalty, performed mediocrely at the Brazilian World Cup, and, finally, became co-authors of a loud sensation, losing in the 1/8 finals of Euro 2016.
By the way, Rooney’s violent temper, which I already mentioned, also manifested itself in matches for national team. For example, he began his performance at Euro 2012 with the third round match, since he had previously served a two-match suspension for a flagrant foul against Montenegrin Miodrag Djudovic. But we must give Rooney his due; coming out in the third round match, he scored the only goal against the Ukrainian national team, ensuring his team qualified for the playoffs.
In total, Wayne Rooney played 119 matches for the England national team, breaking Bobby Charlton's 45-year-old record for the most goals for the national team. Rooney scored his record 50th match on September 8, 2015.
Club career
Once our under 9 team played with the boys from Everton and they completely destroyed us. Rooney scored several goals [six, in fact], but there was one goal that stood out above all. It was essentially a classic scissor kick, a perfect overhead kick, which from a guy of eight or nine years old was really something special. —-Paul McGuinness, Manchester United youth academy coach
Wayne s early childhood played football in the courtyards, and at the age of seven he played for the first time for the Western pub team, scoring the winning goal in this game. Subsequently he played for the Liverpool school team, scoring 72 goals during the season. At the age of nine, while playing for the Copplehouse Boys in the Walton and Kirkdale League (scoring 99 goals in the season), Rooney was spotted by Everton scout Bob Pendleton and invited Wayne to a trial. Liverpool scouts also invited Wayne to try out at Melwood, but Rooney chose Everton, signing a school contract with the Toffees. While playing for the Everton academy, Rooney often served in first-team matches, and in 1996, 11-year-old Wayne took to the Goodison Park pitch for the Merseyside derby as Everton's mascot. In the 1995/96 season (his first season in the Everton academy), Wayne scored 114 goals in 29 matches. Rooney progressed quickly and at the age of 15 he was already playing for Everton's under-19 team. In 2002 he scored eight goals in eight FA Youth Cup matches, including a goal in the losing final against Aston Villa.
Everton first team squad
Rooney is the biggest English talent I have seen since I arrived in England. Since I've been here as head coach, there certainly haven't been any under-20 players as good as him. —-Arsene Wenger on Wayne Rooney in October 2002
On April 20, 2002, 16-year-old Rooney was included in Everton's squad for the first time for a Premier League match against Southampton, but spent the entire match on the bench.

On October 2, he scored for Everton for the first time in official competitions, scoring a double in a Cup match Football League against Wrexham. Thus, Rooney became Everton's youngest goalscorer in the club's history, breaking Tommy Lawton's record. On October 19, five days before his seventeenth birthday, Rooney scored with a long-range strike winning goal against Arsenal, ending a 30-match streak unbeaten streak The Gunners in the Premier League. Rooney also became the youngest goalscorer in Premier League history (he scored at the age of 16 years and 360 days; a record that was later broken first by James Milner and then by James Vaughn). On November 3, Rooney scored the only goal in a match with Leeds, which Everton won 1-0.
In December, Rooney received the BBC's Young Sportsman of the Year 2002 award. On December 14, he scored the winning goal against Blackburn. On Boxing Day 26 December 2002, Wayne received the first red card of his career in a match against Birmingham City. In January 2003, Rooney signed the first professional contract of his career with Everton, making him one of the highest paid teenagers in world football with a salary of around £13,000 a week. On 23 March, Wayne scored the only goal for the Toffees in a match lost to Arsenal. On 6 April he scored against Newcastle, which Everton won 2–1, and on 26 April he scored the winner in the dying minutes of a match against Aston Villa. In total, in his first season at Everton, Rooney played 37 matches and scored 8 goals.
In the 2003/04 season, Rooney scored his first goal on 26 August in a match against Charlton, after which he failed to score for almost four months. On December 13, in the 16th round of the Premier League against Portsmouth, Everton was losing 1-0, but after Rooney came on as a substitute, Lee Carsley first equalized the score, and then Wayne himself put the Toffees ahead. The game ended with the score 2:1 in favor of Everton. In the second half of this match, a small incident occurred: Rooney pushed Steve Stone, after which he left the field, deciding that the referee had sent him off. However, there was no removal: the referee limited himself to a yellow card. Wayne then returned to the game. On December 20, in a match against Leicester City, Rooney scored again, coming onto the field from the bench. On 28 December 2003, Wayne played his 50th league game in a match against Birmingham, scoring the winning goal. On 21 February 2004, Rooney scored his first double in the Premier League in a match against Southampton. On March 13, he scored the winning goal in the match with Portsmouth in the 78th minute of the match, completing a pass from Tomasz Radzinski, and a week later he scored in the game against Leicester City, again from the Canadian’s pass. On April 13, Wayne scored his last goal in the season with a long-range strike from 18 meters in the match against Leeds United. In total, Rooney scored 9 goals in 40 matches for the club in the 2003/04 season, and Everton finished the season in 17th place.
Due to the huge hype generated by Wayne's outstanding performance at the 2004 European Championship, Everton issued a statement stating that Rooney would not be sold for less than £50m. The club offered Wayne an extension to his current contract, increasing his salary to £50,000 a week, but Rooney rejected the offer. In the fight for signing promising football player Newcastle and Manchester United entered. Newcastle made an offer of £20 million to Everton, but the management of the Merseyside club rejected it. After this, Rooney demanded that he be put on transfer. On August 31, 2004, Wayne Rooney's move to Manchester United was officially announced. The transaction amount was about 20 million pounds (27 million including bonuses). The transfer was completed just hours before the transfer window closed.
Rooney's transfer remains the third most expensive transfer of a player from Great Britain in history (only the transfer of Rooney's Manchester United teammate Rio Ferdinand and the transfer of forward Andy Carroll from Newcastle to Liverpool were more expensive). However, the amount paid for Rooney's transfer still remains a record for a player under 20 years of age.
Manchester United
At Manchester United, Rooney received the number 8 shirt. He made his United debut on 28 September 2004 in the group stage Champions League vs Turkish club Fenerbahçe, scoring a hat-trick and providing another assist (the match ended in a 6:2 victory for United). Rooney became the youngest scorer of a hat-trick in the Champions League (he was 18 years and 335 days old). Rooney also became only the second player in Manchester United history to score three goals on his debut for the club (after Charlie Sagar, who scored a hat-trick against Bristol City in 1905). On October 24, in a memorable match against Arsenal, Rooney earned a penalty, which was converted by Ruud van Nistelrooy, and then scored from the game himself. Manchester United won this meeting with a score of 2:0 and interrupted Arsenal's 49-match unbeaten streak in the Premier League.

This season Rooney became top scorer team, scoring 11 goals in the Premier League and 17 in all competitions for Manchester United, and also received the award for the best young player according to the PFA.
Wayne Rooney's personal life and accompanying scandals

However family life The Rooney couple's life was not always cloudless. In 2009, news began to appear in the English press that Wayne often used the services of prostitutes. Subsequently, these messages received official confirmation. A serious scandal erupted around the forward's personality, but ultimately the excitement was calmed down. Wayne publicly apologized for his actions, noting that he was simply “young and stupid” before.
Currently, he still lives with his wife Colleen.

Announced his retirement from playing for the national team. According to the footballer, playing for the Three Lions team for many years was initially his secret dream and was a fulfillment of desires.
Rooney thanked everyone who had "walked this journey with him" and acknowledged that it was time to make way for the next generation.
A native of Croxteth, a suburb of Liverpool, he made his England debut in February 2003 at the age of 17, becoming the team's youngest ever player at the time (his record was broken three years later by Theo Walcott, who came on as a substitute 36 days younger ).
In the same 2003, on September 6, Rooney became the youngest scorer of a goal for the England national team (17 years 317 days). And in the summer of 2004, he updated the age record as the youngest goal scorer at the Euro among all countries. It is appropriate to add that before being invited to the country's first team, Rooney was regularly called up to the U15, U17 and U19 youth teams.
Mine final match He wore a T-shirt with the legendary emblem on November 11, 2016 at London's Wembley. England defeated Scotland in qualifying for the 2018 World Cup, and their leader played the full 90 minutes but failed to score.
However, Rooney is already the team's top scorer in history - 53 goals in 119 games. Only legendary goalkeeper Peter Shilton took to the field more often than him (125 meetings).
Twice Rooney competed with the Russian team - and both times not very successfully. In October 2007, the British lost to ours at Luzhniki in a key qualifying match for Euro 2008. The athlete, who was then in the prime of his career, opened the scoring in the middle of the first half, but after the break, a double brought success to the hosts (2:1).
In June 2016, Rooney ran in vain for 78 minutes before being substituted in a match against Russia at the European Championships in France (1:1).
Thus, he will definitely not come to our country at the 2018 World Cup in the role of an active player of the England national team - except perhaps as a spectator or TV employee. True, even before Rooney’s official statement, experts were skeptical about his chances of being included in Gareth Southgate’s final bid for the tournament. The new Three Lions coach is clearly relying on other performers. Moreover, Rooney’s age is not of paramount importance in this case.
Yes, he will turn 32 at the end of October, but Southgate considers important role in the attack of the national team to the 30-year-old, and during this year he repeatedly called up the 34-year-old Jermain Defoe.
In the case of Rooney, however, one should pay attention to the injuries that the athlete suffered over the years of performances and the general deterioration of the body: Wayne began to play a lot at the highest level too early.
“You know, Southgate actually called me this week and expressed his desire to have me in the national team. It was nice, I really appreciate this attitude,” Rooney told his official website. - But I've been thinking about it for a long time. important issue. I had to report the decision taken. It was hard for me. I consulted with my family, those closest to me and the Everton manager.
Playing for the national team was special for me. Every time I have been called up to a match as a captain or player it has been a privilege and I thank everyone who has helped me.
But now is the time to leave. I will forever be a passionate England fan.
IN last time Rooney tried on the Red Devils jersey in the victorious Europa League final with Ajax Amsterdam (2:0). In Stockholm, Mourinho released the club's ex-captain in the 90th minute.
Despite the sad parting with the team, in whose ranks the footballer nicknamed Shrek won the Premier League five times, the FA Cup and the Champions League once each, he left Manchester as the best sniper in the club's history: 253 goals in more than 450 matches.
Rooney does not cease to achieve achievements even now, wearing the equipment of the more modest Everton from Liverpool.
Thus, after the second round match of the 2017/18 Premier League with Manchester City (1:1), thanks to another well-aimed shot, he reached the grandmaster level of 200 goals in the elite division of the English Championship.
Only one player in history has scored more - the Newcastle standout (260).
In the structure of Everton, to which Rooney returned to “finish the game,” he stayed from the age of ten. It was from here that in the early 2000s he attracted the attention of scouts from Manchester United, other clubs and the national team, and also became the youngest goalscorer of the Toffees (at 16 years old) and earned the right to be called the “golden boy of English football”. By the way, many analysts consider Rooney to be the country's best player of his generation.
Well, point to sports biography It's still too early to stage Shrek. For now, another European Cup season awaits him. Everton will host on Thursday return match Europa League qualifying play-off round against Hajduk in Split. The first meeting is over confident victory Liverpudlians (2:0). Apparently, the group stage is practically guaranteed for them.

"I'VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT A SOLUTION FOR A LONG TIME"
Events developed rapidly.
REWRITE ALL RECORDS...
Rooney built brilliant career in the national team. He burst into her like a hurricane 14 years ago, almost immediately, while still a funny, big-eared and not fully strong young man, surprising everyone with football that was mature beyond his years. All his time as part of the Three Lions was marked by the fall of all kinds of records.
On February 12, 2003, the striker became the youngest debutant in the history of the national team - when he came on as a substitute in a match with Argentina, he was only 17 years and 111 days old (this achievement will be surpassed in 2006).
September 6 of the same year Rooney scored the first goal for the Three Lions against Macedonia. He was 17 years and 317 days old - the history of the national team still does not know younger goal scorers.
And then it was phenomenal Euro -2004. At that tournament, 18-year-old Wayne scored two goals each against Switzerland and Croatia and pulled the team out of the group after the opening defeat to France. And it is unknown what the fate of the English would have been in the playoffs if Rooney had not been injured in the middle of the first half in the quarter-finals against Portugal.
Ten years later, seasoned Rooney was a full-fledged captain of the national team, and on November 15, 2014, he played the 100th anniversary match, receiving Bobby Charlton a special cap for this occasion. By the way, of the nine players who exchanged a hundred, Rooney- the only one who did this before reaching his 30th birthday.
And finally, on September 9, 2015, Wayne became the first English footballer to score 50 goals for the national team. This event happened in the match against Switzerland.
After that, the forward scored three more goals and strengthened his status as the best English scorer of all time. And it’s unlikely that anyone will catch up with him in the near future, because his closest pursuers, who have not yet completed international career, there weren’t even 15 accurate hits...
119 matches. 53 goals. Three European Championships. Three world championships. From England team An entire era has passed. And there is no point in arguing with this.
...AND NOT EVEN REACHING THE SEMI-FINALS OF A MAJOR TOURNAMENT
But it seems that English fans will always argue about the greatness of Rooney compared to his predecessors. Even under a touching entry Gary Lineker, which is on Wednesday at social network congratulated Wayne on his amazing international career and called him the best of the best, controversy erupted.
“How many of his goals were important and helped England progress in major tournaments?” asked one.
“How many goals did he score at the world championships? And how did he even play at them?” asked others.
And indeed, Euro -2004 remained the only great international success for Rooney, and all other major tournaments turned into failures. The forward went to the 2006 World Cup with an injury, recovered only towards the end of the group stage, and in the quarterfinals with Portugal received a red card and quarreled with a partner.
July 1, 2006. Gelsenkirchen. England - Portugal - 0:0, penalties 1:3. 62nd minute. Wayne ROONEY (9) receives a red card in the World Cup quarter-finals. Photo by REUTERS
On Euro -2008 England didn't get in at all, giving up the ticket Croatia And Russia. At the 2010 World Cup Rooney did not score a single goal, and his team crashed out of Germany(1:4) in the first round of the playoffs. On Ukraine in 2012, Wayne went, having been disqualified for the first two games, scored one winning goal against the hosts of the tournament, but was eliminated again in the quarterfinals. The 2014 World Cup ended in fiasco and failure to leave the group of death, although in Brazil Rooney finally scored his debut and only goal at the world championships.
And the last trip to France a year ago ended in the 1/8 finals with a deafening and resonant defeat of the founders of football from the brave Icelanders. By the way, in that meeting the captain of the English team scored his last goal in the national team’s T-shirt.
That is why such polarly different opinions arise regarding the career of the now former national team captain. On one side of the scale there are outstanding personal achievements, and on the other there is any lack of team achievements. Rooney joined the list of legendary and charismatic football players of the generation (! ! ! !) who were never able to bring great happiness to the country at least once. And this is something Wayne, as he admitted in his farewell letter, regrets very much.
World Cup 2018 POOR
And the decision to say goodbye had indeed been brewing for a long time, because for the last couple of years England had been unanimously arguing whether the current Rooney team, is he the same, isn’t he dragging the team down with his gigantic authority, but not the same anymore high efficiency. Wayne was looked for new positions on the field, dropped into the middle of the field, and often left as a substitute.
This summer, the 31-year-old forward returned to his native country, unable to withstand the competition in " Manchester United", which was perceived unambiguously: best years completely over now Rooney just finishes the game. There will probably still be some bright matches in his career, maybe new records will be set, but in his situation it is really better to focus on club affairs, and leave the national team to the younger and victory-hungry generation. Who might be a little luckier.
Wayne Rooney's England career. Photo "SE"
Wayne Rooney is a British football star; he has been part of the main team of the England national team since 2003, and has been its captain since 2014.

For the first time at the age of 7, he played a match for the Western pub team, in which he scored the decisive winning goal. Already at school, he signed his first contract with the Everton youth team, where at the age of 15 he competed with 19-year-old athletes. The youth team coaches highlighted his talent and innate technique.
Professional football biography The future star's journey began at the age of 16. In 2002, he attended a Premier League match where Everton took the field against Southampton. First official game he spent on the bench. A couple of months later, Wayne was again announced for the game, this time the coaches released the footballer onto the field against Tottenham. After a successful game, Rooney was included in the main team. In a matter of days, he becomes the leading player, and then the main star of the club.
He scored a lot, and was noticeable on the field due to his strong build. The athlete’s height and weight are 176 cm and 83 kg. However, this did not stop Rooney from quickly making it into the national team - in 2004, he already went as a forward to the World Cup in Portugal with the main team.
It was at this time that rumors began to spread that the talented footballer was not comfortable at Everton. The team immediately announced that they would sell the player for no less than £50 million. Rooney's management offered an increase in wages to 50 thousand pounds per week and an extension of the contract. Wayne refused.
At the beginning of his career, Rooney was known for his violent temper and aggression, often arguing with players and referees, and swearing on the field. For this behavior he received warnings several times and was removed several times. Over time, the youthful fervor faded, and the footballer became calmer and more restrained.
On August 31, 2004, Rooney moved to Manchester United for a total fee of £27 million. There he performed under number “8”. Since 2007, after the departure of striker Ruud van Nistelrooy, Wayne changed his jersey to number 10.

Successful football career brought the star many awards. Professional merits and high level games allow him to remain among the highly paid football players.
Personal life
Since school, the footballer dated a girl named Colleen McLaughlin - they met when they were 12 years old. In 2008, Wayne and Colin officially became husband and wife. There are 4 children in the family, all boys: born in 2009, 2013, 2016 and 2018.
Even before the wedding, in the early 2000s, the bride caught Wayne cheating. After a successful European Championship, the football star decided to relax and spent a few nights with girl lung behavior of Charlotte Glover. In addition to the money, he left her an autograph for the services provided - and that’s how he got caught.
At the end of 2004, the English media accused Rooney of having an affair with 48-year-old Patricia Tierney, a brothel worker. The age difference did not bother the footballer. The woman confirmed the fact of meeting the football player, but denied sexual relations.
After this scandal, Wayne confirmed his passion for easy relationships: he admitted that in his youth he visited brothels and massage parlors. Rooney also said that he regrets his actions and hopes for the support of Coleen and the fans.
After the wedding, his personal life passed calmly for a year, until in 2009, escort employee Jenny Thompson spoke about her long-term relationship with Wayne. According to her, the footballer often spent nights with her during his wife’s first pregnancy, valuing each one at £1,000. Colleen again found the strength to forgive her husband and continued her relationship with him.
In September 2017, Wayne's pregnant wife left home after a scandal when the football player was caught driving while alcohol intoxication in company with a girl of easy virtue. According to information The Daily Mail, on the day of her husband’s adventures, Colleen was vacationing with her children in Mallorca. After the media began discussing the situation, the woman urgently returned home, packed her things and moved into her parents’ house, taking the children.
In those days, sources close to the family stated that the marriage had long been falling apart at the seams, and this situation was simply the last straw. However, the couple found the strength to reconcile and continued to live together.
An anonymous source close to the couple said that Coleen Rooney is a mother of many children, for whom children are a priority. He is sure that the woman is interested in maintaining a relationship with her husband for the sake of financial stability.
During the time sports activities the athlete entered into advertising contracts with Nokia, Ford, Nike and Coca-Cola, and appeared on the cover of FIFA game releases four times. In 2010, after a scandal involving the footballer's infidelity, the Coca-Cola company excluded Rooney from an advertising campaign. Lately, Wayne has been famous not only for his sex scandals, but also for his disastrous casino game: in June 2017, he lost about €600 thousand in one night.

In February 2018, a fourth child appeared in the family - again a boy, who was named Cass Mack. A few days after his birth, the father of many children posted on "Instagram" photo with his sons, which he jokingly captioned:
“The mini-football team is complete!”
As for sports, in August 2017 Wayne Rooney announced his retirement from international football. On August 23, he posted a photo on his Instagram page in which he said goodbye to the team and thanked him for his support.
This means that famous athlete will not come to the 2018 World Cup in Russia. Wayne called the decision firm and added that the team has many talented players who are fighting for a place at the World Cup. In July 2017, Rooney returned to the Everton team, signing a 2-year contract.
After the transfer, striker Wayne Rooney told the media that he had received offers from Chinese clubs, who offered impressive sums for the player. But money is not the main thing for a football player; the desire to play is more important to him.

This time I went there. You know what website claims that the Englishman left for free, but the media reports an amount exceeding 10 million euros. That's how much Everton allegedly received from DC United.
More than a month has passed since that transition, and the Briton has already managed to show off in the new league. The main thing here is what happened to him.
Assisted in his debut game
Wayne made his debut for DC in mid-July in a game with Vancouver. In that match, he entered the field in the 57th minute. This was enough to make his first effective move at the new club. Yes, partly formal, but goal-oriented.
Kicked Everton
After leaving United, Rooney returned to his boyhood club. For the sake of the transition, he even rejected a major offer from China. “I wore Everton pajamas,” Manchester United’s all-time leading scorer admitted at the time. The story of a triumphant return did not last long, and Wayne nevertheless left to play in a more exotic championship. Whose initiative it was was not clear at first, but later the footballer told everything.
“I told management, ‘I’m not a child. If you want me to leave, then say so.” And they made me understand everything.
For what reason, I still don’t know, because I was the team’s top scorer, even though I played in midfield for most of the season. But that’s football, and I decided to leave.”
Rooney: Everton made it clear that they would be happy if I left
Scored the first goal...
The Englishman scored for the first time for DC in his fourth game, against the Colorado Rapids. In the 33rd minute, Rooney feinted a defender and shot between the legs of his former Manchester United teammate. Tim Howard. That goal is still the only one for him in .
... and broke his face in the same match
A couple of minutes before final whistle Rooney suffered terrible damage. His face became bloody and the Englishman had to leave the field. The result is a broken nose and a cut. The forward had to get several stitches. Fortunately, he did not end up in the infirmary and a week later he was running around as if nothing had happened.
He is an outsider in the league with his club
Divided into two conferences - East and West. Rooney's club plays in the Eastern and is currently in last place. Another sad fact is that DC United is among the least scoring clubs in the conference. Rooney, however, did not participate in most matches. And the calendar in the league is strange: the club has several matches in reserve.
