Wayne Rooney official joins Everton

Manchester United has announced that Wayne Rooney, the club's all time highest goal scorer with 253 goals has just signed for his boyhood club, Everton on a free transfer, after Man U offered to buy out his remaining contract, in a deal that involved the £75m capture of Romelu Lukaku.

Rooney, left Everton 13 years ago as an 18 year old to join the Old Trafford club and ever since then his career hasn't looked back winning every possible trophy a club could garner in the European continent.

Everton confirmed the two-year deal with a short teaser video entitled 'welcome home Wayne'. Announcing on the club's website, Jose Mourinho said,

"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."
