Wayne Rooney is excited about returning to his childhood club

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.

GERRARD BACKS ROONEY DESPITE SNUB

Former Liverpool star and ex Three Lions midfielder Steven Gerrard is backing Wayne Rooney despite the career troubles of the Manchester United player.


Rooney is now a peripheral figure at Old Trafford where he was so celebrated years back. He has been snubbed from the national team twice now as Coach Gareth Southgate asks that he plays regularly and in the biggest games to get an invitation.

The 31-year old player is the record scorer for his club and country but many say he is out. Rooney has refused to retire or exit the teams. Gerrard is backing him in the international scene, claiming the team needs to have “a good blend of youth and experience.”

“Wayne brings that and he has scored a heavy amount of goals at international level and that’s very difficult to replace. Of course it’s been a difficult season for him but he’s more than capable of getting a good pre season under his belt and coming back very strong,” Gerrard preached.

In 119 games, Rooney has netted 53 times but the pace of the goals has slowed. After three World Cups, the player is keen to retire on the international front after next year’s edition in Russia. However with the team playing in his absence there are doubts that he would get a chance in. His future at Manchester United continues to be in doubt as he insists on playing out his contract with the club.

Rooney has acknowledged that he has key decisions to make ahead of the re-opening of the transfer window. His legendary status at the club would not make him to be sold just anywhere but he also has to make the right decisions in the best interest of everyone, considering that he takes a huge pay package.

ROONEY TO MISS SUNDERLAND CLASH

Manchester United skipper Wayne Rooney is set to miss the game against Premier League strugglers Sunderland on Sunday.


The Red Devils are hoping to continue their dream of finishing in the top four this season.

Rooney has struggled this seasonand he is set to miss more games due to ankle problems. The 31-year old could prove helpful when he returns for the end of the season scramble. United played Ronald Koeman’s Everton side without the star player as the issues with his ankle persisted. Rooney’s boyhood club forced their hosts to a 1-1 draw.

Manager Jose Mourinho has confirmed that Rooney might miss the match as the club’s all-time highest goal scorer battles fitness ahead of the trip to Sunderland.

“Two ankles, so I don’t know. But I don’t think it is easy to recover in a couple of days,” Mourinho said.

United would welcome the return of right back Antonio Valencia. The Ecuador international was decent in the role and the team missed his absence. He was rested for the game against Everton but he is set to make a return this weekend.

Others set to miss the game are Phil Jones, Juan Mata and Chris Smalling. The coach confirmed that the trio would be sidelined for a “long time” – another blow to United’s hopes this term. The Europa League remains the major lifeline for the club to make the UEFA Champions League next year – a major target for the manager after several misses.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic steps up and defends Wayne Rooney

Wayne Rooney has recently been appearing in the headlines of the media but not in a positive way as the captain of Manchester United was involved in a drinking incident during his latest international break with England and the English attacker was seen drinking late at night as well as entering a wedding ceremony in a rather unexpected fashion.


This is not the only reason of why Rooney has been critiqued from the past few weeks but also because of his lack of goals. Wayne Rooney is a player that earns around £300,000 and he has historically struggled trying to score more than 20 goals in each season.

Things have not been any different for Wayne Rooney in this current season as he has not been a consistent goal-scorer with only 1 goal scored from 11 Premier League matches, although he has been serving more of a provider than an actual goal-scorer as that task has been given to Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

From 2004 until 2011, Wayne Rooney has successively scored from around 11-19 goals in each season which is extremely disappointing for a player that has always been one of the highest paid players in the entire Premier League.

Despite these underwhelming seasons and recent drinking incidents that Wayne Rooney has been involved in, his Manchester United teammate Zlatan Ibrahimovic has recently emerged to defend Rooney as the Swedish attacker said:

“I don’t see many players from England who have had the same career as him. I feel a little bit sorry of the situation because we should show more respect for him. As a person he’s fantastic, I have the luck to get to know the person. As a player, there are no words to not say about him, he’s the perfect player. Everybody knows what he can do, what he did, what he has done. I’m happy for him to break the record and I will help him to go one more then I see it as the real record.”

KOEMAN HAPPY TO SIGN ROONEY FOR EVERTON

Everton manager Ronald Koeman has said he would be “pleased” to bring back Red Devils skipper Wayne Rooney back to the club after years at Old Trafford. The former Southampton boss said:


“He is a great player, and he has still not finished his career. I do not know how his situation is, and I need to respect that situation. That’s not my problem,” Koeman said.

Rooney, who is three goals shy of being United’s leading goal scorer, has struggled this term under Coach Jose Mourinho but the Portuguese tactician insists that Rooney is part of his plans. The former Chelsea boss decided to back Rooney at the start of the season despite the criticisms, but after a sloppy start to the season, he had to drop the captain.

“But even when we get one time the possibility that Rooney is an option for Everton, I’m very pleased,” Koeman added.

Rooney moved to Man United back in 2004 for £27 million. He has played over 500 games for the club, scoring an impressive 246 goals. Many since his snub from the starting line-up had questioned the 31-year old player’s future.

The player would likely not consider a move to his boyhood club considering his status. He was a star at Goodison Park when he joined in 2002 but nature has definitely taken its toll on him. In the last 23 games for United, he has scored only two goals against Bournemouth. While he is still a decent player, at the end of the season he might consider a move away from the club before he further rubbishes his legacy in the Manchester-based outfit. Koeman was likely playing to the gallery, as he would want any of his players to be at their best.

ROONEY TO MEET ENGLAND COACH

Three Lions skipper Wayne Rooney is set to meet with the interim manager of England Gareth Southgate on Friday over his future with the country.

The Red Devils star has been struggling with form this season, and has not fared well to the heavy scrutiny and criticisms. After the performance at the Euro 2016, many questioned his place in the international set-up.

After Sam Allardyce got the England job, he declared his support for the player. However, it seems Southgate has different ideas. Daily Star reported that the 30-year old will discuss the plans Southgate has for England’s record goal scorer. Southgate was appointed interim manager following the termination of Allardyce’s deal after a Telegraph investigation. Southgate will oversee the next four matches in the World Cup qualifiers, pending a permanent appointment.

The report also mentioned that Rooney would want to clarify his position as the captain of England and his position in the set-up. At the club level, Coach Jose Mourinho plays Rooney as a No. 10, refusing to play him in the midfield where he played under Louis van Gaal. Under Allardyce, Rooney played in similar role. Rooney would require assurances, particularly after he was benched in the game against Leicester City in the Premier League, and reports saying he would see more of the bench in the next few league games.

The squad announcement for the next international break is due on Sunday. Southgate will take the reins for the games, so a discussion between the pair was imminent as Rooney might not get a call-up due to his recent form for his club. After the Europa League, and Stoke City games, the interim boss should be able to decide if he needs Rooney in the team in the face of several options, and high target.

Roy Hodgson has revealed that he has no intention is to retire from management just yet

Former England manager Roy Hodgson has revealed that he has no intention is to retire from management just yet.

After a disastrous Euro 2016 in which England once again failed to even reach the quarter-finals, Hodgson announced that he would be stepping down from his post after four years in charge of the national team. During this period, the former Liverpool and West Brom manager has been unable to make any impact at a major tournament. However, he will be credited for introducing the likes of Harry Kane, Jamie Vardy, Dele Alli, and the Raheem Sterling into the national team at a very young age.

At 68 years of age, it was thought that Hodgson would announced his retirement from management. Instead, Hodgson says that he will make a decision on his future once he returns from a holiday and he is likely to look at a return to Premier League football. Best known for his time at Fulham a couple of years ago, Hodgson has not experienced much success in the last few years. His time at Liverpool was a spectacular failure while he did not achieve much at West Brom either. It remains to be seen if he will receive a job offer from a club in the Premier League.

“I would have loved to stay on for another two years. However, I am pragmatic and I know we are in the results business. My contract was always up after the Euros, so now is the time for someone else to oversee the progress of this young, hungry and extremely talented group of players. They have been fantastic and have done everything that has been asked of them. I’m extremely disappointed of course about tonight’s result and, ultimately, our exit from the competition,” said Hodgson after announcing his resignation following the Euro 2016.
