He made his debut for United in a 3–0 defeat to Aston Villa in the League Cup at Villa Park on 13 October 1999 . In February 2000 he was loaned to Port Vale , but could only manage three goals in sixteen games for Brian Hortons side who were relegated to Division Two . In the following season he made a second appearance in the League Cup ( as a 90th-minute substitute for Luke Chadwick in a game that went into extra time , United eventually losing to Sunderland ) . On 23 December 2000 , he made his Premier League debut in the 2–0 victory against Ipswich Town at Old Trafford ; he came on as substitute in the 60th minute and with ten minutes remaining he hit the post denying him a goal . This was his final appearance for United as he signed for First Division club Preston North End six days later , initially on loan , but then a permanent deal was agreed for a £1.5 million fee . Preston North End . Healy made his debut for Preston against Sheffield United on 30 December 2000 ; he scored after just four minutes in the 3−2 loss at Bramall Lane . In the remainder of the 2000–01 season , Healy made 26 appearances for Preston and scored 10 goals . He was a virtual ever-present in the 2001–02 season , appearing in 44 league games and scoring 10 goals .

Healy joined Nigel Worthingtons Norwich City on a months loan at the end of January . In the end he stayed for the remainder of the season , but in thirteen appearances for the Canaries he scored only scored past Sheffield Wednesday and Wimbledon . Having attempted to sign him from Man United two years previously , Norwich attempted to sign Healy permanently from Preston but were denied by Brown . He found his scoring form again in 2003–04 , and netted 15 times in 42 matches for Preston . For this feat he was given the clubs Player of the Year award . Leeds United . Aiming for a move away from Deepdale , Healy got his wish in October 2004 , as he was signed by Leeds United for a £650,000 fee . In his first season at Leeds he was the clubs joint top scorer alongside Brian Deane with seven goals , despite only joining Leeds halfway through the season . During his time at Elland Road he was linked with dozens of moves to other clubs , the most notable rumour reported in the press being a potential £3 million move to Manchester City . He again finished as joint top scorer in the 2005–06 season , both he and Rob Hulse on fourteen goals . Leeds reached the play-off finals this season but lost in the final 3–0 to Watford . During the management of Kevin Blackwell Healy found himself regularly being played out of position at Leeds , mainly as a right winger , with Leeds rotating Hulse , Cresswell and Blake up front . Healy then finished the following 2006–07 season as Leeds top scorer with ten goals . With Leeds relegated into League One , he left the club at the end of the campaign . Fulham . Healy reunited with former Northern Ireland boss Lawrie Sanchez at Fulham in July 2007 for a reported fee of around £1.5 million . He scored his first goal for Fulham in a pre-season friendly against South China in the Asia Trophy , with a low diving header . He scored fifty seconds into his league debut for the club following a mistake from Arsenal keeper Jens Lehmann . He also found the net in his second game against Bolton Wanderers , in a 2–1 win at Craven Cottage . However , he only scored two further top-flight goals in the season ( past Reading and Sunderland ) , as well as two cup goals past Bolton and Bristol Rovers . Following the sacking of Sanchez , new manager Roy Hodgson preferred a strike partnership of the American pairing of Brian McBride and Eddie Johnson , leaving Healy on the bench . In July 2008 , Healy caused controversy when he adopted the posture of a flute player , similar to a previous incident involving Paul Gascoigne ) , in response to a question posed by Celtic fans chanting Where were you on the Twelfth ? during a pre-season friendly match against Celtic at Craven Cottage . Healy subsequently apologised profusely for any offence he may have caused and signed many autographs for Celtic fans after the game . He remained out of favour with Roy Hodgson , who regarded his signings Andy Johnson and Bobby Zamora ahead of Healy in the pecking order . Sunderland . In August 2008 , Healy joined Sunderland on a three-year contract for an undisclosed fee , believed to be worth £1.2 million . Despite this sum he would never start a league game for the Black Cats . Healy made his debut for Sunderland four days later in the League Cup and marked by scoring the winning goal in extra time against Nottingham Forest . Healy also scored in the FA Cup against Blackburn Rovers . Healy scored his first Premier League goal for the club in a 2–0 home win against Stoke City on 7 February 2009 .

He scored his first goal for Ipswich on 24 February 2010 , in a 1–1 draw with Scunthorpe United , salvaging a point and ending his goal drought by scoring for the first time in over a year . Healy joined Doncaster Rovers on loan in November 2010 , to fill the void left by the injured Billy Sharp . He marked his Doncaster debut with a goal , finding the net in a 2–1 win over Millwall on 6 November . Doncaster extended Healys loan spell into a second month . Rangers . In January 2011 , Healy signed for Rangers on a six-month deal , with a view to signing a longer contract . Having scored in his Leeds , Fulham , Sunderland , Doncaster and Northern Ireland debuts , he also marked his first Rangers appearance with a goal , coming off the bench to add the final goal of a 6–0 win over Motherwell on 12 February . Upon the expiry of his contract he signed a new one-year deal with the club , tying him to the Ibrox club until the end of the 2011–12 season . On 2 January 2012 , Healy scored his second goal for the club , again against Motherwell , with the opener of a 3–0 win .

He left Ibrox at the end of the 2011–12 season following the expiration of his contract . Bury . He signed a one-year deal with League One side Bury in August 2012 . He had previously been linked with a return to Preston North End , but manager Graham Westley rejected the chance to re-sign the striker after finding that Preston fans still resented Healy for the manner of his departure eight years ago . He made a scoring debut for the Shakers on 25 August , converting a penalty in a 2–2 draw with Coventry City at the Ricoh Arena . He was limited to one goal in his 19 games in the 2012–13 campaign as Bury were relegated into League Two . He was one of 16 players released at the end of the season . Unable to find a club after his release and struggling with persistent ankle injuries , Healy announced his retirement from football on 3 December 2013 . On 31 July 2014 , Healy played for Glenavon in a 5–0 loss in a pre-season friendly against his former club Leeds United . The match was part of Glenavons 125th anniversary celebrations . International career . He made his début for Northern Ireland on 23 February 2000 , putting a brace past Luxembourg . He was still only 20 years old ; having made his début for Manchester United the previous October , he had just joined Port Vale on loan . His competitive international début came in September 2000 , in a World Cup qualifying game against Malta , and he scored his first competitive goal for his country a month later against Denmark . On 6 June 2004 , in a friendly game away to Trinidad and Tobago ( his 35th international ) , he scored his 13th and 14th goals for Northern Ireland , thus equalling and overtaking Colin Clarkes record for the country . In September that year , Healy was controversially sent off in Northern Irelands 2–2 draw with Wales . After celebrating the goal he scored to put Northern Ireland 2–0 up , he made a hand gesture towards the fans . The referee sent him off but Healy later explained that he was celebrating towards his family and that was how he always celebrated when scoring for his then-club , Preston North End . On 7 September 2005 , at Windsor Park , Healy secured a famous victory for his country against England in a World Cup qualifier when he scored the only goal of the game . This was his nations first win over the English since 1972 . He achieved his 50th cap and 20th international goal against Finland in August 2006 , also playing as captain . A month later , on 6 September 2006 , Healy became the first man since Colin Clarke to score a hat-trick for Northern Ireland and the first since George Best to do so in Belfast . His three goals gave Northern Ireland a historic 3–2 victory over Spain . Healy followed this feat with the winner against Latvia on 11 October 2006 . In the following international game , against Liechtenstein , he scored a second hat-trick , thus becoming the first player ever to score two hat-tricks for Northern Ireland . He scored both of Northern Irelands goals in a 2–1 win against Sweden on 28 March 2007 , and two more against Liechtenstein on 22 August , followed by a penalty away to Iceland on 12 September . On 17 November 2007 , when he scored against Denmark , it was his 13th goal in the UEFA Euro 2008 qualifying Group F tournament ( in eleven games ) . This made him the highest-ever goalscorer in a UEFA European Championship qualifying campaign . The previous record , of twelve goals in ten games , had been set by Davor Šuker of Croatia in 1996 . As a result , Healy was presented with the award by Michel Platini , who quoted : David Healys record goes down in history and he beat a world-class striker in Davor Suker to do so . The outstanding performance of David in the qualifying competition of the European Championship and his goal tally of 13 goals is a new record and deserves to be recognised . I am sure that this record will last for some time to come and will be hard to beat . This is why I will be presenting him with a special award to celebrate his fantastic achievement . In October 2008 , Healy received several death threats after he welcomed an international goal he had scored by saying the famine is over . The goal had come after an uncharacteristic drought at the time . Healys comments were interpreted as a reference to Rangers fans chant – the famine is over , why dont you go home ? Healy claimed to be oblivious to the fact that he had offended anyone saying , Im so disappointed and upset that anyone could even try and make this link . And when told about this I was totally bemused . Despite finding a new club , Healy was left out of the Northern Ireland squad for the 2014 FIFA World Cup qualifiers in 2012 by new manager Michael ONeill . On 14 November 2012 , he marked his return to international duty with an equalising goal from the bench against Azerbaijan – it was his first international goal in four years . He won a total of 95 senior caps , making him Northern Irelands third most capped outfield player and fourth overall in the nations all-time appearances chart behind goalkeeper Pat Jennings ( 119 ) , Aaron Hughes ( 112 ) and Steve Davis ( 108 ) . His 36 international goals make him the nations all-time leading goalscorer by a considerable distance . Management career . Linfield . Healy was appointed manager of NIFL Premiership side Linfield in October 2015 , the club he had supported all his life . He steered the Blues to a second-place finish in 2015–16 , eight points behind Crusaders . On 7 February 2017 , he won his first managerial honour as Linfield beat Crusaders 3–1 in the County Antrim Shield . On 25 February , he was given a six-game general ban after being dismissed from the touchline for the third time of the season . Despite this setback , the Blues went on to win the league title in 2016–17 , and ended the campaign with a treble after beating Coleraine 3–0 in the final of the Irish Cup . He went on to add the Charity Shield to Linfields honours with a 3–1 victory over Coleraine at The Oval . They went on to lose to Celtic in the second round of qualification for the UEFA Champions League in the 2017–18 season , and had a disappointing campaign domestically as they finished fourth in the league and exited both cup competitions at the quarter-finals . On 16 February 2018 , Healy won his fifth domestic honour with Linfield as they won the Northern Irish League Cup final with a 1–0 over Ballymena United . Healy won his second league title as a manager during the 2018–19 campaign , with Linfield finishing seven points ahead of second-placed Ballymena United and Healy also being named as Manager of the Year . He also added the League Cup to his collection , as Linfield defeated Ballymena United 1–0 in the final . Linfield also reached the 2019 County Antrim Shield final , losing out 4–3 to Crusaders . He stated that he was looking to strengthen the first-team in the summer , saying that were not just going to be bringing in players for the sake of making up the numbers , were going to be bringing in players who will be challenging for a starting berth . The 2019–20 season was ended early due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Northern Ireland and Linfield were crowned champions after finishing ahead of Coleraine on points per game . Healy said that it was unfortunate that they were unable to secure the title on the pitch but was pleased that they were rightly crowned champions . Linfield retained the league title in the 2020–21 campaign and on 21 May , Healy won his second Irish Cup when his Linfield side defeated Larne 2–1 .
