Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney last night made himself part of Manchester United history by scoring two goals to join the exclusive United 200 club.
Rooney, 27, wanted to leave United in the summer having put in a transfer request, however his demands were not accepted by Manchester United and he remained at the club. This has since paid off with Rooney scoring his 199th and 200th goals respectively on Tuesday night against Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League group stage.

However Manchester United's, and Rooney'sopener was controversial with Patrice Evra looking to be offside, however play was allowed to continue and Evra crossed in from the left-hand side to find Rooney to the right of the penalty area, with the English forward choosing to take the shot on the volley and kicking it into the ground to beat Leverkusen goalkeeper Bernd Leno. Once again there was controversy with Antonio Valencia looking like he was holding back the goalkeeper from behind the goal-line, however Rooney finished to score his 199th goal.
