Rooney has always become the first choice for the Reds since his arrival. He has played in the golden era in Manchester United history.

Even the former United No.7 and Real Madrid Ace Cristiano Ronaldo couldn’t stop himself from admiring him saying:
“I miss playing with Rooney. Maybe we will play together again one day. He was so powerful, I was calling him ‘Pitbull’. The power of Wayne Rooney is his mentality and strength and he never stops.”
An Old Trafford farewell
There was quite doubt about Rooney’s future in Old Trafford when he was often left out of United’s opening lineup by manager Jose Mourinho from the early matches last season.
In which he appeared just 25 times which was the fewest among his whole 13 seasons. On the other hand, he had managed to net just eight goals which were also the lowest in a season. In recent times, he has also lost space for England’s squad.
Manchester United manager Mourinho said,
“It is no secret that I have long been an admirer of Wayne; he has been a model professional throughout his time at the club and will remain in the history books for many years to come.”
Being on the bench for the longest time in his United career Rooney stated,
“It is obviously frustrating. I have played my whole career and it was the first time in my career where I didn’t play and I was on the bench,” He added, “it was a difficult final year at Old Trafford.”
Everton is hoping to add some silverware with their former hero Rooney in the squad
Rooney is going to wear the No.10 jersey in Everton, which was previously worn by Romelu Lukaku. Answering about his love for Everton Rooney said,
“I have kept it quiet for the last 13 years, but I’ve actually been wearing Everton pajamas at home with my kids”.
Resigning Rooney as a blue again Koeman said,
“Wayne has shown me that ambition that we need and that winning mentality – he knows how to win titles and I’m really happy he’s decided to come home.”
He added,
“He loves Everton and he was desperate to come back. He is still only 31 and I don’t have any doubts about his qualities. It’s fantastic he’s here.”
