Manchester United's Wonder Kid: Wayne Rooney
Wayne Rooney was born in Liverpool on 24th of October 1985. Wayne, at only 19, is the most expensive teenagers in world football. With the price tag of 27million pound Wayne Rooney is dubbed as the future hope of English football. The skillful striker fulfills his dream to play at Old Trafford on 31st of August 2004, minutes before the transfer window ends. Wayne Rooney is the youngest ever player who has played for England. Started his career at Everton at the age of 16, he has the unique ability to score fantastic goals. He scored his first international goals on September 2003 when he was only 17 years old and he is the one who broke Arsenal’s heart with a powerful goal behind Arsenal’s net. His reputation as the most exciting teenagers in world football has been proven in international levels when he played for England in Euro 2004. His brilliant touch and dribbling skill has been compared to the legendary Pele and has been called “the white Pele” because of the excitement he brings every time he touches the ball. At only 14, he has been closely monitored by Sir Alex Ferguson, English Premier League’s most successful manager. The negotiation to bring him to Old Trafford was not smooth but it was worth it when the teenagers started paying his dues with a hattrick on his first debut in the Champions League against Fenerbahce.
