It does appear that Wayne Rooney will be leaving Manchester United in this summer’s transfer window, but there are no suggestions that the 31-year-old is ready to hang up his boots.
It would be fair to say that the England captain struggled for the Red Devils last season, although he hit some form in the latter stages of the campaign when head coach Jose Mourinho rung the changes.
A record of 253 goals makes him Man United’s all-time leading scorer, and there is no doubting that the forward has enjoyed a sensational career at Old Trafford following a 2004 move to Everton.
As expected, Rooney represented Man United’s 2008 team in Michael Carrick’s testimonial on Sunday afternoon, and an entertaining clash at Old Trafford finished 2-2.
Rooney started and finished the fixture against a team managed by Harry Redknapp, but the Premier League striker struggled to make his mark against an outfit largely made up of former professionals.
It was not just Man United’s supporters that took to Twitter to criticise Rooney, with a number of football fans quick to jump on the 31-year-old’s less-than-impressive performance.
