Left Foot, Right Foot, Headers, Crossing, Free Kicks, Corners, Long Range, Short Range, Acrobatic, Defensive, Passing Range long and short. What a player he was man
He was a few times a year, unfortunately as consistent as Martial. Arguably more talented than Ronaldo as he was brilliant with both feet but just couldn’t find form on a weekly basis
Young Rooney was such an instinctive footballer, it came so naturally to him. He definately quickly evolved into Englands most complete footballer of all time.
He was more of a centre forward, he would always drop back to make plays, his passing was unreal. Arguably better than KDB now. I know ur gonna get triggered City fans I'm not saying KDB is bad since he's one of the best midfielders in the world right now. Rooney did everything, he's like Bruno on steroids lol and had way more consistency
@@MistrzuPL102 yeh he just scored and assisted that much that people got confused where he played, that's how you know ur one of the best players. Nowadays u got fucking Maguire who can't even play CB correctly but somehow is still at UTD. If a manager wants a player to go the player shouldn't have a say. It's bs that we are stuck with this greedy prick that thinks he has nothing to prove
1:49 might be the best goal on here honestly. To finish with that precision and that quickly from such a bad angle and odd shooting position is genius. Not many people would even attempt a first time finish there
Glad I'm not the only one, for my dad it was Roy Kean but for me it's Rooney, I would've done anything to get a Rooney like player nowadays, I know we have Bruno but it's criminal to compare him to Rooney. Bruno is nowhere near that level yet
Wayne Rooney's is the most complete player in the world. He's 1. Great at scoring with creativity, he'll find a way to put the ball behind the net. 2. He's lob passes are so accurate, he assisted many goals too. 3. He's a well-rounded player. He can be in the defensive line.. taking over the centre midfield, and in a blink of an eye, he's in the penalty box of the opponent. 4. He is not afraid to shoot from behind the centre line. 5. One of the most unselfish players ever existed. He'll pass the ball as long as his teammates will convert to goal. Unfortunately, he played in an era where people only see Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. What an underrated player. He's more complete than both of them.
agree, SAF said "If Ronney was a RB, he will become the best RB in the world" , most complete player i've ever seen,, he can score freekick, header, Half Line goalscorer, long pass, bicycle kick etc,,, the most complete player, u can put him anywhere, even at the training, rooney was a GK :')
And his prime was sadly undermined by a SAF-less United and an England side who had some really poor years. He captained two sub-par teams through his entire prime. Couldnt win much with them unfortunately.
I think people are throwing the word underrated too much nowadays, he was highly rated by everyone and that's how it should be, he was one of the best players in the world, his consistency and work rates was unreal
I'm Brazilian and I can say that Rooney was the best English player of all time, he didn't win the Cup but it doesn't matter... he was the most complete English player I've ever seen!
Now that we have seen the full careers of Rooney & Ronaldo, you appreciate Rooney so much more. To be in the shadows of Ronaldo, who goes down as one of the greatest in history, and still shine, is a great great feat
Amazing player... Could have scored many more if he wasn't sacrificed for others (pens, free kicks ) and also positioning. He was more of an assistant rather than the main striker
@@ashleythomas4112 in 2012 benzema was not 🤣 all he had was a good last season and u suddenly think ever since he started his career he was one of the best strikers in the world.
Goal number 7 from rooney against Milan has always left a very deep impression in me. That goal is really not easy as it look. The context of the goal is Milan was the strongest team in that year, Manu hadnt had alot of Clear cut chances that night, that goal scored in the last few minutes before full time. The technical difficulty was , the ball was passed to the right side of rooney. His body angle is not favourable to get give good strike onto the ball. Rooney is as good as 'half back facing the goal post'. But rooney did not take a 2nd touch to the pass, he strike the ball in his 1st touch, and the ball travel LOW and SO FAST that it beats Dida on THE NEAR POST from a strike OUTSIDE the box. That is why the goal was so memorable to me.
I remember this game like it was yesterday against Fenerbache , I just started my second year at college and watched this game on ITV after . I was so amazed by this kid, he had so much natural talent at the time, belief ,strength , determination and aggression. I said it at the time , hes like a regen Gazza but could play across the front three of any team . There's not any players that have all that these days at such a young age.
From goal 16 - 20 this was the time when wazza was at his very best. 2010 was definitely his best season but it was such an unlucky season for us. Produced great performances but came short. Young Rooney was something else for sure but around this time he was on a whole another level. It’s a shame he got injured later on, really halted his momentum. Nani really upped up his game during this time aswell and i really thought he was gonna prevail to fill the void of ronaldo, he was brilliant. My favourite utd player 🙌🏾
Often overlooked, but for me United's greatest ever player phenominal work rate could litterally play any position on the pitch and put a shift in absolute goal machine but also completely selfless in assists.
Look, guys.. I love both Rooney and Beckham, but they weren't even the best in their own teams. Gerrard, Scholes, Lampard, Owen all deserve a mention for that generation.

What a player, I just wish these punk as supporters of today can see him, instead of saying he's overated. 🙄 Legend and was never selfish, unlucky when came for England most of the time he got injured before a big tournament.

First professional hat-trick was for Man Utd, in the Champions League, at Old Trafford….on his Utd debut. Incredible. A true Utd legend.

I’ve always thought this was his top 3 goal. Even Dida was surprised that he shot first time with that accuracy.
