Wayne Mark Rooney 

(born 24 October 1985) is an English football manager and former player

who currently manages Championship club Derby County,[4] for which he previously served as
interim player-manager.[5] He spent much of his playing career as a forward while also being used
in various midfield roles. Widely considered to be one of the best players of his generation,
Rooney is the record goalscorer for both the England national team and Manchester United.[6]
Rooney joined the Everton youth team at the age of nine and made his professional debut for the
club in 2002 at the age of 16. He spent two seasons at the Merseyside club, before moving to
Manchester United for £25.6 million in the 2004 summer transfer window where he won 16
trophies and became the only English player, alongside teammate Michael Carrick, to win
the Premier League, FA Cup, UEFA Champions League, League Cup, UEFA Europa League,
and FIFA Club World Cup.[7][8][9] He scored 253 goals for United in all competitions to make him
their top goalscorer of all time, with 183 Premier League goals being the most scored by a player
for any single club. Rooney's 208 Premier League goals make him the Premier League's second-
top scorer of all time. He also has the third-highest number of assists in the Premier League, with
103.[10]
Rooney made his senior international debut for England in February 2003, aged 17, and is
England's youngest ever goalscorer.[11] He played at UEFA Euro 2004 and scored four goals,
briefly becoming the youngest goalscorer in the history of the European Championship. Rooney
later featured at the 2006, 2010 and 2014 World Cups, and was widely regarded as his country's
best player.[12][13] He has won the England Player of the Year award four times, in 2008, 2009,
2014, and 2015. With 53 goals in 120 international caps, Rooney is England's second-most-
capped player (behind Peter Shilton) and all-time record goalscorer.
