The popular item was given and received as a Christmas gift among many supporters of the club. And following the news of Rooney’s departure, they were all left amazed to see his picture plastered all over the month of January. One fan hilariously declared: “Well this is awkward.”.
Another boomed: “They put him in January and he didn’t even survive that long!”. FOOTBALL FREE BETS AND SIGN UP DEALS. One noted: “The calendar curse strikes again.”. Another added: “Good job they didn’t give him December.”. WAYNE Rooney took the football world by storm when he made his debut for 2002 with Everton.
He quickly became the club's youngest-ever goalscorer aged 16 years and 342 days and was named the BBC's Young Sports Personality of the Year. The striker joined Manchester United in 2004 and spent 13 years at Old Trafford. He went on to make 559 appearances for the Red Devils and scored 253 goals. To this day he is still the club's all-time leading goalscorer.
