Manchester United’s all-time record scorer Wayne Rooney has left Old Trafford after 13 years at the club.

The 31-year-old, who won five Premier League titles and a Champions League trophy with United, has rejoined his boyhood club Everton.

Rooney, who burst onto the scene as a precocious 16-year-old with the Toffees, told Everton TV: “It feels great. To be honest – I’ve kept it quiet for the last 13 years – but I’ve actually been wearing Everton pyjamas at home with my kids. I had to keep that a bit quiet!

“It’s a great feeling to be back. I’m excited, I cannot wait to meet the lads, get on the training pitch and then get on the pitch to play. I’m ecstatic – I just cannot wait to get back playing.”
