An 18-year-old Wayne Rooney joined Manchester United on this day in 2004.
He won 17 trophies, became the club’s all-time leading goalscorer, and delivered plenty of BIG moments 🔴 [THREAD]
I just wanted to send this farewell message to all Manchester United supporters.
I would like to express my unwavering gratitude and appreciation for the love from the last 12 years. We’ve achieved a lot since my dear Sir Alex Ferguson brought me to this club. I took incredible pride everytime I pulled on this shirt, to lead the team, to represent this institution, the biggest club in the world was an honour only bestows upon a few lucky footballers.
It’s been an unforgettable and successful period since I came here. I didn’t think from leaving Madrid as a young boy we would achieve what we did together.
Now, it’s the right time to undertake a new challenge, to push myself again in new surroundings.
Manchester will always be in my heart, Manchester has shaped me and will never leave me.
We’ve seen it all. 🤘🏼❤️
Less than an hour away for our first kickoff of the 2022 season!! Three players make their first career starts as @GabeSwaisgood (Fairfield), @BrockBiederman (Centerville), and @PeytonTennis (Lakota East) get the nod this evening! #WeAreDubC
I’m extremely blessed to announce that I have verbally committed to Wilmington College to continue my academic and athletic career. I want to thank my coaches, all my teammates, and my family for making this possible.
