With 11, Rooney has scored more goals in Manchester derbies than any other player, the most memorable being the overhead kick that stunned City at Old Trafford in February 2011. It came as a Nani cross took a deflection off Pablo Zabaleta and looped higher. With perfect timing, Rooney, with his back to goal, flicked himself into the air and met the ball with a fierce strike that flew into the top corner.

Having already taken Sir Bobby Charlton’s England goalscoring record, Rooney surpassed the World Cup winner’s United tally in January 2017. Rooney came off the bench and curled home a superb injury-time free-kick to secure a draw at Stoke. It was his 250th United goal.
