One posted: “That’s how you do it, I’ve never seen Bruno Fernandes score one before.”

A second wrote: “None of our players has scored a free kick goal since Cristiano Ronaldo in 2022 against Norwich. Shameless.”

A third commented: “Free agent, by the way, he never lost it.”

A fifth declared: “That is actually TOP TOP TOP BINS. He’s ridiculous.”

Throughout his career, Rooney played in 559 games across all competitions and scored a record 253 goals for the Red Devils.

He left Everton to join the team in 2004 and returned to the Toffees in 2017.

After that, Rooney played for a while for Derby County and DC United before retiring.

Earlier in the day, Rooney had admitted that he would have liked to have played for Celtic during his career.

He told Celtic’s club media: “Celtic has always been a team I have followed and wanted to win.

“Unfortunately, I did not get the opportunity to play for Celtic. I would have liked too.

“But I did not work out and I did not get that chance.”

Leny Yoro’s life at Manchester United has not gone as planned since his summer transfer from LOSC Lille.Có thể là hình ảnh về 1 người A agreement was reached between the two teams, with United paying £52 million to transfer the 18-year-old to Old Trafford for five years, until 2029. However, just 35 minutes into his second game in a Red Devils shirt, the centre-back was forced to leave due to injury. The match was the pre-season tour opener against Arsenal in Los Angeles, with Rasmus Hojlund also injured and United eventually losing 2-1.Có thể là hình ảnh về 2 người và gương chiếu hậu The injury in question was reported as a non-contact ankle ailment, and a physio assisted the defender off the pitch. Later, this was revealed to be a metatarsal injury, with Yoro initially not anticipated to return until late October, which became New Year after more tests were conducted when the squad returned to Carrington. However, a new video has surfaced, which may give United fans some optimism. The video in question, uploaded by Instagram user Mufcmax, shows Yoro driving a can and being stopped by a little fan. The video’s description reads: “I’m glad to hear recovery is going well; it won’t be long.” The fact that Yoro is now driving indicates that he is no longer on crutches and is considered safe to drive, with the caption alluding to the man’s own statements. We don’t know when the centre-back will return to the pitch, but with Matthijs de Ligt now in the starting lineup, Yoro will have to work hard to win his spot in the squad.Leny Yoro was spotted RETURN to Carrington ahead Liverpool game | Man Utd News
