He has played much of his career as a forward, but he has also been used in various midfield roles. He is the highest goal scorer for Manchester United.
Aged nine, Rooney joined the youth team of Everton, for whom he made his professional debut in 2002 at the age of 16. He spent two seasons at the Merseyside club, before moving to Manchester United for £25.6 million in the 2004 summer transfer window. Since then, with Rooney in the team, United have won the Premier League five times, the UEFA Champions League once, the FIFA Club World Cup once, the FA Community Shield four times, the Football League Cup thrice and the FA Cup once. In September 2013, Rooney scored his 200th goal for Manchester United. He is currently on 250 goals in all competitions which makes him the club's top goalscorer of all time. His 195 Premier League goals make him the competition's second top scorer of all time, behind Alan Shearer. Rooney holds the record for most goals for one club in the Premier League, with 180 for Manchester United.
