Wayne Rooney returns to Old Trafford for the first time since his summer transfer from Manchester United to Everton this Sunday.

United's all-time leading goalscorer is assured of a warm welcome as he returns to the pitch he graced in United colours for 13 years.

The last time Rooney played against United was as an 18-year-old on Boxing Day 2003, during his first spell at Goodison Park.
