Wayne Rooney is set to represent Manchester United’s Legends team for the first time when the Reds host Celtic at Old Trafford on 7 September.

Twenty years on from linking with up with United for the first time, when the then teenage sensation switched Goodison Park for Old Trafford in the summer of 2004, Rooney can now look forward to a second debut with the Red Devils – this time, a maiden outing lining up alongside fellow United legends.

One of the club’s greatest ever players, and all-time leading goalscorer, Rooney’s name is one to transcend generations of not just United fans, but lovers of football worldwide, as one of the brightest sparks to have graced the game.
