Rooney leaves Man Utd for Everton


Today, the request of a 31years old stint Manchester United striker has been  granted by Jose Morinho, Man Utd manager. The successful, skillful and experienced player moves happily to his boyhood football club Everton, where he started his life as a young footballer before he was bought by the red devils.

His two years signed contract to everton is like an answered prayer, he has desire to return back to his root club but as a legend in Man Utd he won't be easily allowed to leave. Happily is he as his request was granted openly today at Old Trafford with cheering from fans and friends.

 His experience, focus and determination will be missed and I wish him well in his future. He waves friends good bye as he leaves his 13years stick in old trafford to his club in a two years deal.
