Wayne Rooney
Wayne Rooney is an English footballer widely regarded as England’s best player. He currently plays for the ‘English Football League Championship’ club ‘Derby County Football Club’ and England national team. He is one of the world’s most popular football players and has been named the ‘England Player of the Year’ four times. He scored 99 goals for a local junior league team at the age of nine which led to the ‘Everton Football Club’ signing a contract with him. He made his professional debut with ‘Everton’ in 2002, and within weeks became the youngest-ever goal-scorer in the history of premier league, a record which has now been surpassed. In 2004, he signed a contract with ‘Manchester United’ and found great success with them. His career with ‘Manchester United’ began in a great way; he scored an unforgettable hat-trick against ‘Fenerbahce’ in the ‘Champions League.’ By the end of the 2004-05 season, Rooney had amassed 17 goals in 43 appearances. He played in the 2006, 2010, 2014, and 2018 ‘World Cups’ for his national team. He helped ‘Manchester United’ win four ‘Premier League’ titles in five seasons. He became the youngest player to have played in 200 ‘Premier League’ games in 2008. As a popular player, he is endorsed by ‘Nike’ and ‘EA Sports.’
