People forget that Rooney was truly world class for quite a while. Whether as a main man or in a more supporting role, he always performed for Utd. History will remember him as such when the dust clears
Absolutely correct..Personally,I think for a couple of yrs,he was the best "all round"player in World Football..And I'm talking about his all around influence on an game..Great Players as they have been-His contempories MessI,Ronaldo,Tierri Henri,Zlatan etc have been attackers..(even though we have seen Messi playing a deeper role&he's fantastic-he took Tottenham Hotspur apart the other week)But Rooney at his best&most effective was playing quite a free role for United,or played L&R and the support striker role to accomdate other players..These are the traits that make him stand out..****** .
@ShiftCtrl85 Interesting Comment,I always thought of him as a support striker(10)..But maybe u have a point.. He was moved around all over the place(without complaining)I remember listen to Ferguson on the Training Field saying"Rooney plays anywhere,even in goal"said with a big smile on his face-but ur right he was a "victim of his own success"and versatility..
Agreed,the first time I saw him play was for England,against Turkey,in a Bar in the U.S(That probably may sound strange,but I was busy&the EPL coverage was'nt so good at the time)But straight away he stood out&I spotted him..IMO for a couple seasons he was the best "All round" player in the world..Not forward or Midfield but all round..Now I'm a Spurs fan,but quality is what is..Spurs had Gazza&he certainly had his moments&he also could do exceptional things,but I think Rooney has been a better (once again)all round Player..And for me has me given reasons to watch games.. A true great*****.
It’s seems like a century ago, I can’t imagine how United has fallen. United was Rooney and Rooney was United. The passion, skills and power he had it all. A true united legend.
I will never ever forget the bicycle kick goal he scored against Manchester City. I will always remember where I was and what I was doing that day because of it. Thank you so much Wayne Rooney. One of my favorite players ever and an absolute Man U legend!👍
How is it that Wayne Rooney has been forgotten that fast, while the likes of Henry, zidane Romario are remembered despite his immense contribution at Manchester United? I heard Rooney for the first time in 2004 Euro cup finals. What a player.
That moment with the little old lady was so significant, wasn't jumping and screaming, just wanted to say hello, even to the old man behind her, you don't get that anymore, truly something to cherish
I can still remember his first games. Everyone in the pub wanted to see him! It was magical when he was on the ball. United had once again proven that they had a happy hand for talents. Liverpool Fan.
Football was introduced to me by playing fifa 09 on my pc and this guy was my key striker back then! & This guy was the reason that I started to watch football and support man utd.. Let's face it man utd never been the same after he left the club!
God bless my parents for giving birth to me when they did. The united team I witnessed as a teenager will never be forgotten and this man was the spear-head. Forget goals, this guy had it all, the definition of complete footballer. Stats don't do him justice, neither do accolades, simply watch him torment any team and tell me he's not one of the greatest of all time.
I love man united..been the club fan since 1977...but at the moment I watched more dc United than man united.. Wayne sir booby, sir George best , Giggs.. These are the greatest man united player of all time
Too comment..No one can argue with those choices(no one sensible that is)u couldn't put a price on those players in today's game!.And everything they did was with a Damn hard Leather Ball..Sir Bobby could Produce a Rocket with either Foot.
Rooney was my inspiration growing up when I used to love playing football but He will always be my favourite football player. What a player he was, for Manchester United and for England 👌
One of the top 5 players in premier league history. Second highest goals, one of the highest assist makers in the prem, misused by sir Alex, David Moyes, van gaal and Mourinho as he was shunted about everywhere. His best position was off the striker but was pushed around everywhere to get the best out of the other players. The biggest sign of a great is someone who is brilliant but can sacrifice himself to make others look brilliant while still looking superb himself.
If he wasn't so selfless, I am absolutely sure that he would have been in and around that Ronaldo and Messi bracket..in his prime, he's as good as those two..#just my opinion..
Dude he was not better then 17 year old cr7, messi I cant say. If you watch cr7 play for sporting at 17 years old, it was like he was a veteran, a captain who has done it for years, the only thing missing was the power in his shots. And thats what Rooney always had. Top quality finishing. Anyway i guess thats why they all occupie diferent positions.
The simple truth seems to be that unlike Messi and Ronaldo, Rooney lost his enthusiasm for playing and lacked the dedication and self sacrifice needed to stay at the top and for the last few seasons of his career, he seemed to be getting picked on past reputation alone. I guess that I'm probably in the minority that fails to be dazzled by the statistics and see Rooney as having underachieved.
I always say he underachieved and I get criticised for it. Its as if people think I don't rate him. By saying he underachieved I'm actually saying he's even better than what we saw. He may not have been at messi or Ronaldo level but he was very close. He didn't have the dedication or lifestyle messi and Ronaldo have
Legend on the pitch and off it as well, and he always turned up for United even when Cristiano disappeared. One of the greatest players of English football, he deserves credit for everything (he made a huge part in the build-up of CR7's career as well), u will always be remembered! (a Chelsea supporter :))
I’m so happy he came to MLS. I hope he really enjoys it here and other players come over as well. For every Steven Gerard there’s a Wayne Rooney who want to win and bust their ass.
If I ever wanted a signed United jersey, it has to be Wayne Rooney's signature. For me he is the true personification of a Man United player. A player who gives his all for the teams, who's willing to work up the end of the last minute, to give his all for a win. Or even for a loss, you can never say he was lazy or that he wasn't trying enough. I feel blessed to have grown up watching and following his career.
The forgotten man when it comes to people picking their all time Premier league XI. I really don’t know how. All time top scorer for Manchester United and England. I think he was almost hampered by his amazing ability on the ball, as this made Ferguson utilise him in different positions as he knew he could trust him to do a job. Rooney was his best in his prime as an out and out striker.
I was at his full International Debut in Sunderland, I'm not a big Wayne Rooney fan, but as a footballer, he was something else, he could not legally or go out to vote at this point, I have never seen a reception like that for someone who was essentially still a child at that point, less than a year out of school, to have 45,000 people chanting his name was spine tingling
At 2:35 minutes: The young number 10 will be just what Manchester United need, but will need to wait a few more years in order to knock up a contract and avail themselves of his services. He will make the grade. His love and appetite for the game will grow.
in greek rooney rhymes with gourouni, which means pig... so we had a saying "rooney the ugly mean pig"... which just describes everything about this guy! from his unparrareled beauty(!), to how he was playing... he was playing like he hated the opponent team... so powerful so mean! loved that guy...
Yes he ws really really fearful when he played at so young age full of passion n determination if didn't get injured it could have been a different story altogether but still he is a living legend n still playing n still better than so many players @ man utd in 2020
People forget that Rooney was truly world class for quite a while. Whether as a main man or in a more supporting role, he always performed for Utd. History will remember him as such when the dust clears
I Admire this man, Hes truly great
He inspired me to score 19 out of 10 games
Not me.. I will never forget wayne

The reason that made me love United and football as a whole. Now you make me support DC United
as a long time D.C. United fan, comments like these are still so weird to read but yet very welcome. VAMOS UNITED!
As a fellow long time DCU fan, its rare to find fellow fans on videos not related to the team. We've arrived, Vamos!
Bikesh Shrestha same here mate

I still have a baby shirt which is Man U and it says Rooney I was only four and I still love him
It’s seems like a century ago, I can’t imagine how United has fallen. United was Rooney and Rooney was United. The passion, skills and power he had it all. A true united legend.
The young rooney was ridiculously good. I remember seeing a talent like that specially for an attacker after brazilian ronaldo. He was unstoppable
I will never ever forget the bicycle kick goal he scored against Manchester City. I will always remember where I was and what I was doing that day because of it. Thank you so much Wayne Rooney. One of my favorite players ever and an absolute Man U legend!👍
Gotta love the famous shinkick.
I remember shouting soo hard, that the neighbors came in thinking I was in trouble or something!
There's only ONE Rooney. UNITED LEGEND NO DOUBT!
How is it that Wayne Rooney has been forgotten that fast, while the likes of Henry, zidane Romario are remembered despite his immense contribution at Manchester United?
I heard Rooney for the first time in 2004 Euro cup finals.
What a player.
He's a footballing genius. Not just his ability and strength, but intelligence and vision.
This guy made me love football
What an amazing virtue for a man is his humility.
Rooney is the reason im a football fan
Much love from 🇺🇸
Hope one day he will be back at O.T as the manager #GOAT
That moment with the little old lady was so significant, wasn't jumping and screaming, just wanted to say hello, even to the old man behind her, you don't get that anymore, truly something to cherish
This man has brought so much joy into my life lol. Thank you Wayne for all the memories. Was a world class player, United legend!!
I can still remember his first games. Everyone in the pub wanted to see him! It was magical when he was on the ball. United had once again proven that they had a happy hand for talents.
Liverpool Fan.

Wayne Rooney my favorite striker much love from Ghana.

& This guy was the reason that I started to watch football and support man utd..
Let's face it man utd never been the same after he left the club!
United hasn’t been the same since Ronaldo left, started with him and made worse by Rooney leaving. It’s sad quite frankly
The best England player ever..it is not just scoring goals but also play making
God bless my parents for giving birth to me when they did. The united team I witnessed as a teenager will never be forgotten and this man was the spear-head.

Cristiano Ronaldo should be on that list as well, and Scholes
I hate to point out the obvious but you forgot Roy Keane.
@Colloquial Soliloquy Ahahahaaa I'm in tears!!Give the man a break 🤣🤣
Wayne Rooney is a legend an a hero the man that we won’t forget.... you will forever be my hero
Rooney was my inspiration growing up when I used to love playing football but He will always be my favourite football player. What a player he was, for Manchester United and for England 👌
One of the best players England has produced! 🐐
Lots of respect for this man. He made much of my youth to be fabulous just by watching him.
I support man united because of him .He is 🌟
One of the greatest players of all time, Wayne Rooney, no doubt about it. Those who don't agree, just don't know enough about him.
That goal though.....was just WOW.......Yes, that goal , you're right
He deserves more respect
Why, because he was good at playing football?! He's been more than amply rewarded for that.

He was a young g running it and is a big baller now hail Rooney xx xx
Rooney. I never forget you in football, u are Amazing.
He has the best assist in MLS history no question.
If he wasn't so selfless, I am absolutely sure that he would have been in and around that Ronaldo and Messi bracket..in his prime, he's as good as those two..#just my opinion..
its all about how big your marketing budget is
dude Ronaldo and Messi are light years away from him in skill. But he was a suberb striker no doubt.
Dude he was not better then 17 year old cr7, messi I cant say. If you watch cr7 play for sporting at 17 years old, it was like he was a veteran, a captain who has done it for years, the only thing missing was the power in his shots.

Remember that first goal so vividly the man was a fucking special player from a blade well done wayne 👊
I miss the angry rooney in the field
Def made me even more a fan lol... Salute to him an his fam.. Great doc!!!!
Best player of all time.......in my opinion

Last of a dying breed.❤️
Indeed, players are not built like that anymore, I think Wayne is one of the last great players from a generation that no longer exists.
I’m so happy he came to MLS. I hope he really enjoys it here and other players come over as well. For every Steven Gerard there’s a Wayne Rooney who want to win and bust their ass.
Stevie best midfielder of all time
That is mad. England and Man U greatest ever goal scorer. What a life
The one that brought back tl watch football, my legendary striker as Ronaldinhio...
Thanks for every thing we'll never forget you...
Still gives me cold shiver when I seen him score for england
Here in Bangladesh. Everyone loves Rooney .
10:31 "Remember the name, wayne rooney"
So True
If I ever wanted a signed United jersey, it has to be Wayne Rooney's signature. For me he is the true personification of a Man United player. A player who gives his all for the teams, who's willing to work up the end of the last minute, to give his all for a win. Or even for a loss, you can never say he was lazy or that he wasn't trying enough. I feel blessed to have grown up watching and following his career.
Wayne was the best player in Manchester and lives a simple life .but lukaku played 2 years and drive 2 rolls Royce
Rooney is a team player!!! He always played for his team and club with real passion. That is why he will always remain one unique player.
Wayne’s world!!! Wayne’s world!!! Love that movie
Rooney all time best.
I love Rooney
best english player of his generation, top player and what a debut for utd...il never forget
Hopefully his sons go pro so I could watch them play.
'Yet no one outside his family and close friends, really knows him'. Surely that's the same for everyone?
U r the number 1 best player that i ever seen .i don't care wt everyone saying.
I grew up to see Rooney play. I don't know much about pre-and-post Rooney period. I only know that I love Rooney.
Wayne rooney is a legend
Rooney ❤️ you are great player
Much respect to you ⚽️❤️⚽️❤️
A pure Legend
