Rooney Returns to Manchester United in Shock MoveRooney Returns to Manchester United in Shock Move In a dramatic turn of events, iconic striker Wayne Rooney has made a sensational return to Manchester United from Major League Soccer side D.C. United. The 34-year-old forward, who left Old Trafford in 2017 after a record-breaking 13 years with the club, has agreed a one-year contract to become a player-coach under Ole Gunnar Solskjær. Rooney’s return has sent shockwaves through the footballing world. The former England captain is United’s all-time leading goalscorer, having netted an incredible 253 goals in 559 appearances for the club. Following his departure from United, Rooney spent a season at Everton before moving to the United States in 2018. He has been a key figure for D.C. United, scoring 25 goals in 52 matches and leading them to the MLS playoffs. However, Rooney has always maintained a close connection with Manchester United, and the opportunity to return to the club where he made his name proved irresistible. “It’s a dream come true to come back to Manchester United,” said Rooney. “I have some unfinished business here, and I’m determined to help the team achieve success again.” Solskjær welcomed Rooney’s return with open arms. “Wayne is a true Manchester United legend, and he will bring a wealth of experience and knowledge to the squad,” said the United boss. “He knows what it takes to win trophies at this club, and I’m confident he will play a vital role in our success.” Rooney is expected to take on a reduced role on the pitch, mentoring young players and providing cover for the likes of Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial. However, his presence in the dressing room is likely to have a significant impact on the team’s culture and mentality. The return of Wayne Rooney is a major coup for Manchester United and could signal a new era of success for the club. The iconic striker’s experience, leadership, and passion for the game will undoubtedly inspire his teammates and lift the spirits of the United faithful.
