Wayne Rooney |
Honestly, it felt like we’d hit rewind to his prime years, as if he’s still the king of Old Trafford. This goal wasn’t just a nice moment for the fans; it was a reminder that the instincts and raw talent Rooney had throughout his career aren’t going anywhere, even in retirement. That right foot of his? Still as dangerous as ever.
Watching Rooney nail a free-kick again at the Theatre of Dreams felt oddly comforting. It’s like seeing a piece of football history unfold live—familiar yet still awe-inspiring. It shows that football, with its ups and downs, always has those constant moments that make you fall in love with the sport all over again. And for Manchester United fans, today, that moment came in the shape of their legend reminding everyone why he’ll forever be a name etched in Old Trafford’s legacy.
