Wayne Rooney, the all-time leading scorer for Manchester United and the English national team, is leaving Manchester to rejoin his first career club, Everton.
It’s a major milestone in the striker’s career. Rooney has always been an Everton fan, but left the club for Manchester United 13 years ago. Back then, he was one of the top young talents in global soccer. But now 31 years old, Rooney has perhaps only three or four years of top quality football left in him. Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has clearly decided Rooney’s best days are behind him.
