Watch the moment Wayne Rooney rolls back the years with stunning curling free kick against Celtic at Old Trafford in legends game

Wayne Rooney shows he's still got it and why he remains Manchester United’s record goalscorer.

The ex-Premier League star hit a stunning free kick in the Manchester United vs Celtic Legends game at Old Trafford today.

The curling effort stunned Boruc in goal, who just stood helpless in the goals as the effort whizzed passed him straight into the top left corner.


The now Plymouth manager's 25-yard strike has propelled the Red Devils into the lead in the star-studded exhibition game.

During his decorated career Rooney, 38, scored a record 253 goals for United across 559 games.

The Old Trafford legend joined the Manchester club from Everton in 2004 and well the rest is history.

The scouse-born striker won five league titles, an FA Cup, three League Cups, the Champions League in 2008, the Europa League, and a Club World Cup under Sir Alex Ferguson at Manchester United with United.

Rooney went on to play out the vast majority of his career with United, spending 13 years with the Red Devils.

He left the club in 2017 to rejoin his childhood club Everton where he played one full season before going elsewhere.

He joined American outfit DC United the following year before finishing his playing career with Derby County.

Ahead of the game today Rooney did admit that he would have liked to don the jersey of the Scottish club during his playing time.

He admitted to 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 to.

'But I did not work out and I did not get that chance.'
