Last 5 players to score a Premier League hat-trick for Manchester United: Where are they now?

#4 Wayne Rooney

Rooney has scored more hat-tricks than any other Manchester United player

Wayne Rooney, has more than 200 goals in the English top-flight, but did you know that he never won a Golden Boot award, despite scoring more than 25 league goals on two different occasions?

The Liverpool-born player rose through the ranks at Merseyside club - Everton's youth setup and made his full-time Premier League debut before even turning 17 years of age in 2002.

He joined The Red Devils in the summer of 2004, but had to wait for more than two seasons before his first hat-trick. The victims of his goal-scoring exploits were Bolton Wanderers and had to see Rooney taking home the match-ball after absolutely destroying their defense at their home on 28 October 2006.

Interestingly, his last treble as a United player also came against the same opposition at the same venue, five years later on 10 September 2011.

He now plays for MLS side DC United, having joined them last summer, following a one year spell with his boyhood club Everton.

In the years following his Manchester United exit, he had retired from international football, ending his association with the Three Lions as their all-time record goalscorer.
