Top 10 highest Premier League goalscorers of all time

#2 Wayne Rooney - 208 goals

Wayne Rooney is United's leading goalscorer of all-time

What is there to be said about Wayne Rooney that most don't already know? He's achieved virtually everything there is in football, thanks to the leadership of Sir Alex Ferguson at Manchester United during the 00s.

He even broke the England record for most goals scored. Rooney's natural gift of goalscoring has kept him in good stead throughout his career, and he's still going today with D.C United, having moved there in the summer of 2017 from Everton. How much more is there for him left to do? We can only wait and see.

In the July 2001, Wayne Rooney was promoted from Everton's youth academy to the U18s. Exactly a year later, he had signed a professional contract to join Everton's first team. In his first season, he featured in 33 games and scored six goals. The season after that, he featured in 34, and this time scored nine, forever showing signs of improvement. Everton fans must have known for a while just how hard it would be to keep hold of a player this brilliant, and so when Manchester United came sniffing in 2004, the writing must have been on the wall.

Sir Alex Ferguson signed Rooney for a whopping £33.8m that summer, and what happened next changed United's fortune drastically. Rooney would be with the Red Devils for fourteen whole seasons, scoring a total of 193 goals in 418 matches.

Rooney eventually returned to his boyhood club in the summer of 2017 on a free transfer. He scored 10 goals in all competitions for the Toffees but would be sold to DC United in July 2018.
