Wayne Rooney has won five league titles at Old Trafford, one Champions League title, two League Cups and one FIFA Club World Cup.
Rooney announced himself on the Premiership stage when, in 2002, five days before his 17th birthday, he came on as a substitute for Everton to score a sensational last-minute winner against Arsenal. In December, Rooney was named 2002's BBC Young Sports Personality of the Year.
Rooney became the youngest player to play for England when he earned his first cap in a friendly against Australia on February 12, 2003 still aged only 17, also becoming the youngest player to score a goal for England.
In August 2004, Rooney emoved to Manchester United for £25.6 million, the highest fee ever for a player under 20 years old. Any doubts whether he could cope with the pressure of the transfer fee were dispelled when he scored a hat-trick on his debut, as United thrashed Fenerbahce 6-2 in the Champions League.
He picked up his first Premiership medal in the 2006-07 season, scoring 14 goals to help end Chelsea's brief period of dominance under Jose Mourinho. The following season he won a Premiership and Champions League double. A third Premiership medal followed in 2008-09, and in 2009-10, Rooney was awarded the PFA Players' Player of the Year and the FWA Footballer of the Year.
In 2010-11, Manchester United faced a fresh challenge at the top of the table from their newly rich arch rivals Manchester City. Rooney's response was to score the greatest goal of his career, a stunning overhead kick, to overcome City 2-1 at Old Trafford and put the Red Devils in the Premiership driving seat. It was voted goal of the season.
On May 14 2011, Rooney stroked home a penalty to give United a 1-1 draw against Blackburn Rovers at Ewood Park in the penultimate game of the Premier League season - enough to secure a record 19th top division title for United, and giving Rooney his fourth Premier League title winner's medal.
In May 2013, after establishing a successful new partnership with Robin van Persie, Rooney won his fith Premiership, in Sir Alex Ferguson's final season as manager.
