Wayne Rooney is excited about returning to his childhood club

Posted on August 16, 2017August 22, 2017 by content

Before Wayne Rooney joined Manchester United and went on to make a name for himself a very talented forward, it was with Everton, where he spent the initial years of his youth.

The English attacker joined the youth squads of Everton and was eventually included into the senior division of the club which he managed to make his senior debut for back on 2002. At that point in time, Rooney was not even 19 years old and he was already scoring more goals and making more of an impact than other performers who were at the twilight of their respective playing careers.

Wayne Rooney went on to spend 2 seasons with Everton before joining Manchester United and initiating his 13 yearlong spell in Old Trafford.

After so many years away from Goodison Park, Rooney is back and he has recently expressed his emotions about returning to Everton as the All-time top scorer of Manchester United said:

¨It’s a great feeling to be back. I cannot wait to meet the lads, get on the training pitch and then get on the pitch to play¨

¨I’m not just coming back because it’s the team I support, the team I grew up playing for. I’m coming back because I feel the club can move forward and be successful. I want to be part of it. There will be pressure on me to perform, but I’m ready to go. I believe I can help move this club forward and be more successful on the pitch.”

Everton finished in the 7th spot during the previous 2016-17 season of the English Premier League but expectations are high for them to secure a top 4 position in the upcoming season not only because of the arrival of Wayne Rooney it´s also due to the other summer signings which includes: Davy Klaassen, Jordan Pickford, Michael Keane and Sandro Ramirez.

Baines: Wayne Rooney can end trophy drought

Posted on August 7, 2017August 22, 2017 by isport

Everton full-back Leighton Baines has backed Wayne Rooney to end the club’s 22-year-wait for silverware. The Toffees have been busy in the transfer market this summer with seven players signed for a combined fee of just over £90m.

While the likes of Michael Keane and Davy Klaassen are valuable additions to the squad, the arrival of Wayne Rooney from Manchester United has been the highlight of the Toffees’ transfer window. The England international returned to his boyhood club after 13-year glorious years at Old Trafford, and Baines believes Rooney can bridge their gap to their rivals in order to attain trophy success.

It’s one of the reasons that Everton have been included in one of the football accumulator bets from William Hill, with many pundits tipping them for League or FA Cup glory.

“A trophy is the ultimate goal and I think that is what the manager has come here to do – to push us on to another level, and get us there. Obviously with the new owner and with the chairman, that is the objective, to take that next step. Everyone understands it will be tough. We have already got a bit of a gap to bridge and we are working on it and we hope to do it. I’m fully aware of what Wayne can bring to us and I think he has already shown it in the few weeks he has been here,” he told The Guardian.

Rooney was the undisputed club-captain during his time at Manchester United, but he struggled to make himself under Jose Mourinho, who preferred the experienced Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Marcus Rashford for the lone role upfront.

The 31-year-old was also utilised as a support striker during the initial phase of last season, but there was not much success which led to Jose Mourinho pushing Paul Pogba into an attacking midfield role. Rooney did have the option to honour the final years of his United contract, but he decided to accept a golden handshake to make a return to Merseyside. The veteran may have lost some of his skill attributes over the past year, but manager Ronald Koeman is confident that the marksman will make a mark for Everton, and eventually retain his place with England.
