Rooney returns to where it started
LONDON:England and Manchester United’s record goalscorer Wayne Rooney declared himself ‘ecstatic’ after completing a move back to Everton the club where he first starred as a teenager on Sunday. The 31-year-old -who had become a peripheral figure under Jose Mourinho last season -signed a two year contract on a free transfer according to the BBC bringing the curtain down on 13 trophy-laden years at Old Trafford.
Rooney -- whose move comes the day after United announced they had agreed terms with Everton over buying their leading scorer Romelu Lukaku -- will hope the switch revives his international career which also stalled last season. AGENCIES
