5 Amazing players who left Manchester United on a free transfer

#4 Wayne Rooney

Rooney moved to Everton after 13 seasons with Manchester United last year

A modern-day Premier League legend, Wayne Rooney is probably the one of best #10 to have ever played in the English top-flight.

Having joined Manchester United in 2004 from Everton, he opted to move back to his childhood club after his contract at the Old Trafford expired.

Rooney who is only the second player in Premier League history to cross the 200 goal milestone, was a true hero among Old Trafford faithful.

His free transfer from Old Trafford to Goodison Park proved fruitful for him, as glimpses of his past glories were seen in his performances as he ended the season being the club's top goalscorer with 10 goals in the Premier League.

The only good thing about this move was that this deal facilitated the €85 million transfer of Romelu Lukaku from Everton to Manchester United.
