The Manchester United captain has surprisingly chosen his penalty kick against
Blackburn ahead of his overhead kick in the Manchester derby as the best goal of his playing career. The penalty kick secured United's Premier League crown in 2011.“The overhead kick is the best one,” he said.
“It was 1-1, 10-15 minutes to go so it was the winning goal in the derby so that was a great feeling and it won us the game. Then we went on to win the league."
“But I think the most memorable one was Blackburn away, the penalty late on. If I scored we won the league. So it was pressure taking it, there was a big delay before I took it so I had to try and keep myself calm and thankfully I scored and we won the league."
He also seems to be preparing for life after retirement.
“I would like to be manager when I finish playing,” Rooney said as part of a Facebook Q&A session with team-mate Ashley Young. “Football is what I’ve done my whole life. I’m currently in the process of taking my coaching badges so hopefully when I finish playing I’ll have that complete.”
The 30-year old has made over 500 appearances for the club since joining in 2004.
