He became the second youngest first - team player in Everton history behind Joe Royle. In that match, he was booed by the Spurs fans who shouted `` Who are ya ? '' whenever he touched the ball. His first senior goals came on 2 October when he scored twice in a 3 -- 0 away win over Wrexham in the second round of the League Cup. These goals meant that Rooney was Everton 's youngest - ever goalscorer at the time. On 19 October, five days before his 17th birthday, Rooney scored a last - minute winning goal against Arsenal. The goal ended Arsenal 's 30 - match unbeaten run, and also made Rooney the youngest goalscorer in Premier League history, a record that has since been surpassed twice, by James Milner and James Vaughan.

Manchester United 2004 -- 05 season Rooney submitted a transfer request in August 2004, despite Everton having made a new contract offer valued at £ 50,000 per week. Everton then rejected a bid of £ 20 million from Newcastle, and ultimately signed for Manchester United at the end of the month after a £ 25.6 million deal was reached. It was the highest fee ever paid for a player under 20 years old ; Rooney was still only 18 when he left Everton. Sir Alex Ferguson, then manager of United, said that `` There were plenty of eyebrows raised '' when he persuaded the club 's board of directors to sanction `` a multi-million pound '' move to try to sign Rooney from Everton.

These goals made Rooney the youngest player to score a hat - trick in the Champions League aged 18 years 335 days. His first season with Manchester United, however, ended without winning a trophy as they could only manage a third - place finish in the league, and failed to progress to the last eight of the Champions League. United had more success in the cup competitions, but were edged out of the League Cup in the semi-finals by a Chelsea side who also won the Premier League title that season, and a goalless draw with Arsenal in the FA Cup final was followed by a penalty shoot - out defeat.

Rooney threatened to withdraw the FA 's permission to use his image if they did not revoke the ban, although the FA had no power to make such a decision.

After being sidelined for six weeks, he returned for United 's 1 -- 0 Champions League group stage win over Roma on 2 October, scoring the only goal of the match.

On 30 March 2010, during United 's Champions League quarter - final first leg defeat against Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena, Rooney crumpled when he twisted his ankle in the last minute, hobbling off while Bayern were producing the buildup that led to their second goal. There were fears that he had received serious ligament damage or even a broken ankle, but it was announced that the injury was only slight ligament damage, and that he would be out for two - to - three weeks, missing United 's crunch match with Chelsea and the return leg against Bayern the following week. The team list for second leg yielded a massive surprise when Rooney was given a starting place in the United line - up.

Rooney and his representatives released a statement regarding his decision to leave the club, insisting it was not down to money but ambition.

We 've had some fantastic goals here but in terms of execution... you 'll never see that. '' Sir Alex Ferguson on Rooney 's bicycle kick match - winner against Manchester City.

On 28 February 2015, he scored a brace in a 2 -- 0 victory over Sunderland, thus becoming the first player to score more than 10 goals in 11 successive seasons. On 15 March, Rooney scored the third goal in a 3 -- 0 win over Tottenham. Rooney was Manchester United 's top goalscorer for the 2014 -- 15 campaign, but his tally of 14 is the lowest by a leading scorer since 1982.

On 7 January 2017, Rooney scored against Reading in the third round of the FA Cup to equal Bobby Charlton as Manchester United 's top goalscorer of all time. Rooney 's goal was his 249th in 543 games for Manchester United, reaching the landmark in 215 matches and four seasons quicker than Charlton. On 21 January 2017, Rooney finally surpassed Charlton to become the outright leading scorer for Manchester United after scoring his 250th goal for the club and the equaliser from a free kick against Stoke City at the Bet365 Stadium in the game 's final minutes to secure a 1 -- 1 draw. On 29 January, prior to playing his part in the 4 -- 0 triumph in the FA Cup fourth round against Wigan Athletic, Rooney was presented with a commemorative Golden Boot to acknowledge him becoming the club 's all - time leading goal scorer. It was presented by Charlton whose record Rooney broke. Return to Everton After much speculation over the previous few months, it was confirmed on 9 July 2017 that Rooney would return to his boyhood club, Everton, on a two - year contract, after Manchester United allowed him to leave on a free transfer. Rooney was assigned the number 10 shirt for the 2017 -- 18 campaign. He made his first official appearance on his return to the club in a 1 -- 0 win over MFK Ružomberok in the UEFA Europa League third qualifying round first leg on 27 July. He scored on his second Everton league debut on 12 August, when his club beat Stoke City 1 -- 0 at Goodison Park.

International career Rooney playing for England in 2006 See also : List of international goals scored by Wayne Rooney Early international career and Euro 2004 Rooney was eligible to represent the Republic of Ireland, through an Irish grandmother. In 2015, he confirmed that he had rejected an approach from Ireland at the age of 16, describing himself as `` English through and through ''. Rooney became the youngest player to play for England when he earned his first cap in a friendly defeat against Australia at the Boleyn Ground on 12 February 2003 at 17 years and 111 days, coming on at half - time as manager Sven - Göran Eriksson fielded a different team in each half. On 6 September of that year, aged 17 years and 317 days, he became the youngest player to score for England, equalising in a 2 -- 1 away victory over Macedonia in a UEFA Euro 2004 qualifying match. His first tournament action was at UEFA Euro 2004, in which he became the youngest scorer in competition history on 17 June 2004, when he scored twice in England 's second group match against Switzerland, which ended in a 3 -- 0 victory ; however, this record was topped by Swiss midfielder Johan Vonlanthen four days later. Rooney added two more goals in the competition in England 's final group match on 21 June, a 4 -- 2 win over Croatia, but subsequently suffered an injury in the quarter - final match against hosts Portugal on 24 June, and England were eliminated on penalties. After scoring four goals in four matches, Rooney was named in UEFA 's Team of the Tournament. 2006 and 2010 World Cups Following a foot injury in an April 2006 Premier League match, Rooney faced a race to fitness for the 2006 FIFA World Cup. England attempted to hasten his recovery with the use of an oxygen tent, which allowed Rooney to enter a group match against Trinidad and Tobago and start the next match against Sweden. However, he never got back into game shape and went scoreless as England bowed out in the quarter - finals, again on penalty kicks. Rooney training with England in September 2009 Rooney was red - carded in the 62nd minute of the quarter - final for stamping on Portugal defender Ricardo Carvalho as both attempted to gain possession of the ball, an incident that occurred right in front of referee Horacio Elizondo. Rooney 's Manchester United teammate Cristiano Ronaldo openly protested his actions, and was in turn shoved by Rooney. Elizondo sent Rooney off, after which Ronaldo was seen winking at the Portugal bench. Rooney denied intentionally targeting Carvalho in a statement on 3 July, adding, `` I bear no ill feeling to Cristiano but I 'm disappointed that he chose to get involved. I suppose I do, though, have to remember that on that particular occasion we were not teammates. '' Elizondo confirmed the next day that Rooney was dismissed solely for the infraction on Carvalho. Rooney was fined CHF 5,000 for the incident. Rooney top scored for England in their 2010 World Cup qualifying campaign with nine goals ; one behind the UEFA section 's overall top goalscorer, Theofanis Gekas of Greece. On 14 November 2009, Rooney captained England for the first time in a pre-tournament friendly with Brazil. Rooney was given the England number 10 shirt by manager Fabio Capello ahead of the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. During the tournament, England drew 0 -- 0 in their second group match against Algeria on 18 June, and the England players were booed off the pitch by their supporters ; Rooney was at the centre of controversy when he criticised the England fans for booing the team after the match, and subsequently apologised for his actions. Rooney went scoreless throughout the tournament, and England were eliminated in the second round, following a 4 -- 1 defeat to Germany on 27 June. Euro 2012 Rooney taking on the Italian defence at UEFA Euro 2012. The Euro 2012 qualification campaign went well for England, as they qualified at the top of their group, winning five and drawing three games. Rooney scored three goals, one against Switzerland and two against Bulgaria. In the last qualifier against Montenegro ( 2 -- 2 ), Rooney was sent off for a tackle on Miodrag Džudović in the 74th minute. It was anticipated that Rooney would miss at least one match in the opening round of the first phase at Euro 2012. After the game, Rooney sent a personal letter to UEFA in which he apologised and expressed regret for the tackle on Džudović which earned him the red card. Despite the letter, UEFA punished Rooney with a three - game ban, meaning that he could not play in any of the group stage matches. After UEFA 's announcement, Džudović stated that he believed the sentence for Rooney was too severe and that he would defend him if needed. He later asked the UEFA to pardon Rooney. The FA then decided they would appeal to UEFA against the ban. On 8 December 2011, after the FA had appealed the ban, UEFA reduced the sentence to two matches. This meant that Rooney missed the matches against France and Sweden. He was able to play in the final match of the group stage against Ukraine on 19 June 2012, scoring the only goal of the game, allowing England to progress to the quarter - finals. England were eventually knocked out in the quarter - finals against Italy, who, after a scoreless 120 minutes, won 4 -- 2 on penalties, although Rooney was able to net his spot - kick. After another international tournament in which the English media criticised Rooney 's performances, Fabio Capello claimed Rooney `` only plays well in Manchester ''. 2014 World Cup On 12 October 2012, Rooney became England 's 5th highest goalscorer of all time after scoring his 30th and 31st international goals in a 2014 World Cup qualifier against San Marino. Rooney captained England for the first time in a competitive match in the same game. On 6 February 2013, Rooney scored in a 2 -- 1 win against five - time world champions Brazil at Wembley in a friendly. In March, he scored goals against San Marino and Montenegro in World Cup qualifying, before scoring against Brazil again in a 2 -- 2 draw on 2 June, in the official re-opening of the refurbished Maracanã Stadium. On 11 October 2013, Rooney became England 's all - time top goalscorer in competitive internationals when he scored his 27th competitive goal in a 4 -- 1 World Cup qualifier against Montenegro. Rooney ended the 2014 World Cup qualification campaign as England 's top scorer with seven goals. At the 2014 World Cup, Rooney started in England 's first group match against Italy, setting up Daniel Sturridge 's temporary equaliser, in a 2 -- 1 loss. In England 's second 2014 World Cup group match against Uruguay at the Arena Corinthians, Rooney scored his first ever goal at a World Cup finals with a 75th - minute equaliser in a 2 -- 1 loss. England drew their final group match 0 -- 0 against Costa Rica, and were eliminated from the World Cup, finishing last in their group ; despite playing a part in both of England 's goals, Rooney was criticised by English pundits for his performance in the tournament. Euro 2016 Following Steven Gerrard 's international retirement after the 2014 World Cup, Roy Hodgson named Rooney as England 's new captain. On 3 September 2014, in the first match of his captaincy, Rooney scored a penalty against Norway to give England a 1 -- 0 friendly win. Later on, he showed his leadership attribute by calling player - only meetings in September 2014 to reflect on the players ' performance and discuss how they can do better as a team. Rooney said, `` Obviously the manager gives us our game plan, but because we do n't spend that much time together as a team we need to know and feel confident in what we 're doing as a team together. In the meetings, you 're having the players speak up who would n't normally speak up when coaches are there. '' On 15 November 2014, Rooney won his 100th England cap against Slovenia in a Euro 2016 qualifying match, scoring a penalty to equalise in a 3 -- 1 win. In another qualifier away to the same opponents on 14 June 2015, Rooney scored the winner with four minutes remaining for a 3 -- 2 victory, his 48th international goal putting him joint second in England 's list alongside Gary Lineker, and one behind Bobby Charlton. In his 106th England appearance, he equalled Charlton 's record of 49 goals ( also in 106 matches ) on 5 September 2015 by scoring a penalty against San Marino. On 8 September 2015, Rooney broke Charlton 's England goalscoring record, netting his 50th international goal from a penalty in a Euro 2016 qualifying match against Switzerland, at Wembley, in his 107th appearance for England, also equalling Ashley Cole as his country 's fifth - highest capped player ; this was also his 300th professional career goal. In England 's opening match of Euro 2016 against Russia at the Stade Vélodrome in Marseille on 11 June, Rooney was selected to start in central midfield and was named man of the match by the BBC after a 1 -- 1 draw. On 27 June, he scored the opening goal in a 2 -- 1 defeat to Iceland from a penalty in the round of 16, which saw England eliminated from the tournament. 2018 World Cup qualification and retirement On 4 September 2016, Rooney earned his 116th appearance for England in 1 -- 0 away win over Slovakia in the 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifiers, making him the nation 's most - capped outfield player of all time, and England 's second highest appearance maker behind Peter Shilton. A few days earlier, he had confirmed that he would retire from international football after the finals in Russia. In March 2017, Rooney had been left out of the England squad by England boss Gareth Southgate. Following Rooney 's return to Everton in July, which saw him put on a string of impressive performances, Southgate wanted to recall Rooney back to the England squad for the upcoming 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifiers. However, Rooney announced his early retirement from international football with immediate effect on 23 August 2017, snubbing Southgate 's recall. His final England appearance came on 11 November 2016 in a 3 -- 0 win over Scotland, in which he provided the assist for the third goal, scored by Gary Cahill. Style of play Rooney is a creative, energetic forward who combines technical skill with strength and physicality, while also excelling in the air despite his lack of height. He is a versatile attacker, capable of playing anywhere along the front line ; although his preferred role is as a striker, he has also been used as a supporting forward, or even as a winger. In more recent years, he has even been deployed in a deeper, more creative role, as an attacking midfielder, or even as a central or box - to - box midfielder under former manager Louis van Gaal, due to his vision, range of passing and team - work. A prolific goalscorer, Rooney is a powerful striker of the ball and an accurate finisher, who is capable of scoring goals both inside and outside the penalty area, as well as from volleys. In addition to his offensive attributes, he has been praised for his work - rate and stamina by players, managers and the media, and is highly regarded for his dedication and willingness to press opponents when possession has been lost in order to win back the ball and start attacking plays. Due to his precocious displays as a teenager, Wayne Rooney was given the nicknames `` Wazza '' ( a reference to former England international Paul `` Gazza '' Gascoigne, who was also a gifted player troubled by off - field issues ), `` The Wonder Boy '', and `` The White Pelé ''. Rooney was a fast, agile player in his youth ; however, several injuries throughout his career have affected his speed and mobility in recent years, which has led to some in the game accusing him of not quite living up to his full potential, on occasion. Despite his reputation as one of the top strikers of his generation, and as one of England 's greatest ever players and all - time leading goalscorer, Rooney has been criticised for his behaviour and aggression on the pitch at times, which has led him to pick up unnecessary bookings. Personal life In addition to Everton, Rooney also supports Celtic. He is also a supporter of the Leeds Rhinos rugby league club. Rooney, originally a boxer, still pursues the sport recreationally for stress relief. In June 2011, he visited the Harley Street Hair Clinic and had a hair transplant. He has a number of tattoos, including one of a Celtic cross on his arm. Family Rooney 's wife, Coleen, in October 2006 Rooney met his wife, Coleen Rooney ( née McLoughlin ), while both were at secondary school. They married on 12 June 2008 after six years of dating, during which Rooney admitted to soliciting prostitutes in Liverpool in 2004. `` I was young and stupid. It was at a time when I was very young and immature and before I had settled down with Coleen. '' He has a tattoo of the words `` Just Enough Education to Perform '', the title of an album by his favourite band, the Stereophonics ; Coleen arranged for the group to play at their wedding reception. The wedding ran into some controversy with the Catholic Church. The couple held a religious ceremony at the Abbey of Cervara, a converted monastery near Genoa, despite being warned by the local bishop 's office against the plan. The bishop 's office told the Rooneys that La Cervara is deconsecrated and not suitable for a wedding. It suggested a different church, five miles away. Nevertheless, the couple ignored the advice and Father Edward Quinn, their local Catholic priest from Croxteth, presided over the ceremony. In April 2006, Rooney was awarded £ 100,000 in libel damages from tabloids The Sun and News of the World, who had claimed that he had assaulted Coleen in a nightclub. Rooney donated the money to charity. Rooney 's wife gave birth to a son on 2 November 2009, Kai Wayne. The couple 's second child, Klay Anthony, was born on 21 May 2013. The couple 's third child, Kit Joseph, was born on 24 January 2016. Rooney 's younger brother, John Rooney, is also a professional footballer who plays for Guiseley. He has previously played with Macclesfield Town, Barnsley and Bury, and in January 2011 signed a contract to play in Major League Soccer ( MLS ) in the United States. John was selected by the New York Red Bulls in the second round of the 2011 MLS SuperDraft. Rooney 's cousin, Tommy, is also a footballer. Commercial interests Rooney has endorsement deals with Nike ( he is the face of their T90 Laser IV boots ), Nokia, Ford, Asda, and Coca - Cola. He appeared on six consecutive UK - version covers of Electronic Arts ' FIFA series from FIFA 06 ( 2005 ) to FIFA 12 ( 2011 ). In October 2010, Rooney was dropped by Coca - Cola from one of its advertising campaigns following issues surrounding his private life. In 2012, Rooney was listed as the fifth highest - paid player in the world, behind Lionel Messi ( 1st ), David Beckham ( 2nd ) and Cristiano Ronaldo ( 3rd ), with an annual income of US $ 32.6 million. Rooney mural at the San Siro, Milan It was announced in July 2011, that jerseys with Rooney 's name and number were the best - selling sports product under the auspices of the Premier League. During the 2009 -- 10 season, Manchester United sold between 1.2 million and 1.5 million shirts and it is estimated that of that, Rooney 's name was printed on several hundred thousand. The account is taken from official jerseys sales across the globe, not just in England. On 9 March 2006, Rooney signed the largest sports book deal in publishing history with HarperCollins, who granted him a £ 5 million advance plus royalties for a minimum of five books to be published over a 12 - year period. The first, My Story So Far, an autobiography ghostwritten by Hunter Davies, was published after the 2006 World Cup. The second publication, The Official Wayne Rooney Annual, was aimed at the teenage market and edited by football journalist Chris Hunt. His third book, My Decade in the Premier League, was published in September 2012. In July 2006, Rooney 's lawyers went to the United Nations ' World Intellectual Property Organisation ( WIPO ) to gain ownership of the Internet domain names waynerooney.com and waynerooney.co.uk, both of which Welsh actor Huw Marshall registered in 2002. Three months later, the WIPO awarded Rooney the rights to waynerooney.com. Social media In October 2014, Rooney became the first Premier League footballer to reach ten million followers on social networking site Twitter. As of October 2014, Rooney is the fifth most - followed footballer ( and sixth most - followed sportsperson ) globally on Twitter. In terms of top UK Twitter individuals, Rooney ranked at number 9 in October 2014. Paul Stretford controversy In July 2002, while Rooney was with Everton, agent Paul Stretford encouraged Rooney and his parents to enter the player into an eight - year contract with Proactive Sports Management. However, Rooney was already with another representation firm at the time, while Stretford 's transaction went unreported to the FA, and he was thus charged with improper conduct. Stretford alleged in his October 2004 trial that he had secretly recorded boxing promoter John Hyland and two other men threatening and attempting to blackmail him for an undisclosed percentage of Rooney 's earnings. Stretford 's case collapsed due to evidence that conflicted with his insistence that he had not signed Rooney, and on 9 July 2008, he was found guilty of `` making of false and / or misleading witness statements to police, and giving false and / or misleading testimony ''. In addition, the contract to which Stretford had signed Rooney was two years longer than the limit allowed by the FA. Stretford was fined £ 300,000 and given an 18 - month ban as a football agent, a verdict he appealed. Stretford left Proactive in 2008 and took Rooney with him. Proactive later sued Rooney, claiming £ 4.3 million in withheld commissions. In July 2010, Proactive was awarded £ 90,000 as restitution. David Moyes On 1 September 2006, Everton manager David Moyes sued Rooney for libel after the tabloid newspaper the Daily Mail published excerpts from Rooney 's 2006 autobiography that accused the manager of leaking Rooney 's reasons for leaving the club to the press. The case was settled out of court for £ 500,000 on 3 June 2008, and Rooney apologised to Moyes for `` false claims '' he had made in the book regarding the matter. Allegations of infidelity Helen Wood claims Rooney paid £ 1,000 for a threesome with her and Jennifer Thompson in a Manchester hotel while his wife was five months pregnant. It was reported his solicitors unsuccessfully tried to fight the allegations when they first surfaced in early August 2010. Drink - driving conviction On 1 September 2017, Rooney was arrested in Wilmslow by Cheshire police after being caught driving over the prescribed alcohol limit. He appeared at Stockport Magistrates ' Court on 18 September and pleaded guilty to drink driving. Rooney was fined £ 170 by the court and banned from driving for two years, and was ordered to complete 100 hours of unpaid work as part of a twelve - month community order ; Everton fined him two weeks ' wages in the region of £ 300,000.
