Wayne Rooney reveals the best goal he has ever scored and it's NOT the stunning overhead kick against Man City... as he admits Sir Alex Ferguson told him to run LESS so he would be fresh to punish opponents in the last 10 minutes

Wayne Rooney has revealed his best goal he has scored in terms of footballing craft, and it's not his famous overhead kick against Manchester City in 2011.

Rooney, now at Derby County, spent 13 years at Manchester United from 2004-2017, and is the club' all-time leading goalscorer with 253 goals in 559 appearances for the club.

The goal most people remember from his distinguished United career was a match-winning overhead kick in the Manchester derby, but while Rooney says that is his favourite goal, a strike against Wigan in 2009 is his best strike.
