This February 11 was fulfilled 11 years of one of the best goals in Manchester United history. On that occasion, Wayne Rooney hit a bicycle kick against his main rival that gave his team all three points and was the beginning of the road for United to reach the Premier League 2010-2021.
On that occasion, with the match tied 1-1 by Nani’s goals for United and Silva for the citizens, a cross from Nani himself with a slight deflection from Argentine winger Pablo Zabaleta found Rooney that an unstoppable Chilean was invented before the fixed and surprised body of the rival goalkeeper Joe Hart.
Behind the goal, Rooney ran to the corner to celebrate and spread his arms to feel that all the fans at Old Trafford were at his feet.
The victory was key on that occasion to secure the Premier League that they ended up winning by accumulating 80 points, with a difference of nine against their closest rivals Chelsea and City themselves.
Interestingly, the goal was nominated for the Puskas Award for the best FIFA goal, competing against Lionel Messi’s goal against Arsenal in the Champions League and Neymar’s goal against Flamengo in the Brasileirao. However, he did not win the prize that went to Neymar in the end.
Wayne Rooney retired from football last 15 of January of 2021 in a Derby County jersey, after spending several months as assistant player-coach. Since then, he continues to manage the club that has flirted with promotion to the Premier League on two occasions.
