Wayne Rooney Returns To His Boyhood Club

Wayne Rooney will be returning to Everton on a free transfer after 13 years at Manchester United.

Here's what Jose Mourinho said about the club legend:

"It is no secret that I have long been an admirer of Wayne; he has been a model professional throughout his time at the club and will remain in the history books for many years to come.

"It is never easy to see a great player playing less football than he would like and I could not stand in his way when he asked to go back to Everton. His experience, focus and determination will be missed and I wish him well for the future."

 

Excited to be back at @everton. Can't wait to meet up with Ronald Koeman and the lads! #EFC 🔵
