#2 Wayne Rooney

Manchester United v Fenerbahce SK
Rooney announced himself with a stunning hat-trick against Fenerbahce

Manchester United signed 18-year-old Wayne Rooney in 2004, spending nearly £25 million, which was a then-record for a teenager.

An overwhelming talent for his age when Manchester United signed him, although his main position is as a striker, he can play in any position on the pitch. Rooney has a powerful game, mixed with technical and physical attributes, and he is a prolific goal scorer.

Rooney was one of the best signings in Manchester United's history, and as he is Manchester United's all-time top scorer with 253 goals. He won everything at club level with Manchester United, and became captain in 2014. He is regarded as one of the best players in the club's history.

Manchester United fans will remember Wayne Rooney forever as their idol and his overhead stunner against their neighbours Manchester City will give them goosebumps whenever they see it.

“The best goal was definitely against Man City, It was phenomenal". - Sir Alex Ferguson on Rooney's best goals
