Wayne Rooney put in a Man of the Match performance as Manchester United brushed aside Bournemouth 3-1 at Old Trafford. Rooney opened up the scoring in the 43rd minute after some lovely team play between Anthony Martial and Juan Mata on the edge of the box.
The goal was Rooney's 100th in the Premier League at Old Trafford, and the OptaJoe Twitter account was quick to highlight the relevance of that.
The absurd reality of Leicester City claiming the Premier League title was made to wait for at least another week following a draw between Leicester City and Manchester United. Leicester City were denied the fulfillment of their season long excellence as Anthony Martial’s early strike negated Wes Morgan’s 17th minute header to force the sides to settle for a draw.
Some say he was offsides, but no matter the call, Wayne Rooney scored a delightful goal today against Derby. While playing away in the 4th round of the FA Cup, Rooney beat the Derby keeper with a curling ball from the left corner of the box. With a lackluster first half of the season, Rooney is a changed man in 2016. He has six goals for the new year and has been making under pressure manager, LVG very happy. With Rooney's curling effort, Manchester United would go on to beat Derby 3 - 1.
Since we were kids, we've looked around for inspiring figures, people that we can imitate and learn from. And very often we tend to find them on a pitch or a court. The world of sports — and soccer in particular, due to its huge reach — is full of inspirational people for the fans.
But have you ever wondered who the biggest players admire? No matter how perfect we see them or how many qualities we project on them, they are as human as you and me, and they also grew watching other inspirational figures that pushed, motivated and taught them.
Given his waning (sorry!) skill-set on the pitch, it's time to think about what's next for Wayne Rooney, and we have the answer.
If there was any speculation about the post-footballing job prospects of Wayne Rooney (there are some who would argue that his post-footballing job is Manchester United center forward), that needs to cease right now, because on Monday we found the perfect career for him: professional wrestler.
Wayne Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo formed one of the most devastating strike partnerships in recent memory. Together, they brought wild success to a Manchester United club where there was no alternative given the pressure and the demands of the fans and media. It's truly impressive what Rooney and Ronaldo accomplished as Red Devils. They should both get testimonials in our opinion, but the Wayne Rooney testimonial will have to do.
Wayne Rooney is not having a ton of luck with the ladies. Or, rather, Wayne Rooney's Twitter is not having a ton of luck with the ladies. OK, some guy in Tinder using only Wayne Rooney tweets is not having a ton of luck with the ladies.
We get to watch though, and the results are predictably hilarious.
Separated by a three-mile stretch on the A57 road, a 15 minute drive southwest will take you from the Etihad Stadium to Old Trafford, the site of this Sunday’s Manchester derby between Manchester United and Manchester City.
A top of the table clash between United and City, rarely seen throughout the course of the Manchester derby’s illustrious history, has heightened the drama beyond its normal magnitude. This is a fixture that will go a long way towards deciding who will be crowned Premier League champion come May.
David Attenborough is perhaps best-known for his narration of the television series "Planet Earth" and for his nature show on the BBC.
What he is not known for is soccer commentary, but that's just what happened when someone (who we must say is a proper genius) put audio of David Attenborough's narration over a clip of Manchester United practicing.
The bit about Wayne Rooney in particular made our day better.
Wayne Rooney had a bad game against Swansea this weekend, and Manchester United lost 2-1.
Rooney has been much maligned this season, and, aside from a hat-trick against Club Brugge in a Champions League qualifier, hasn't done much of anything on the field.
He has, however, made one of Swansea's mascots' days infinitely better. It's hard to hate on Rooney when he inspires this type of reaction from children.
Face it, you will probably never have this reaction to anything in your life.
