1. Overhead Kick Vs Manchester City
Of course, No.1 on our list simply had to be the overhead kick Rooney scored vs Manchester City back in 2011. If the finish wasn't special enough, the fact it came against United's "noisy neighbours" well and truly put the cherry on the cake. The build-up to the goal started with Nani, who floated in a cross that took a deflection, wrong-footing Vincent Komany, allowing Rooney to latch onto the ball with a first-time bicycle kick that thundered into the back of Joe Hart's net, rendering the goalkeeper little more than a spectator. It was a special goal from a truly special player. What are your favourite Wayne Rooney goals? Let us know in the comment section, below.
