Now this is funny

Eyebrows were raised when Ronald Koeman agreed to re-sign Wayne Rooney for Everton earlier this summer.The move made perfect sense for Rooney, who had the opportunity to return to his beloved boyhood club and continue earning a very good wage, but did it make sense for the Toffees?The 31-year-old’s final few seasons with Manchester United were largely disappointing. The forward often flattered to deceive and it became increasingly obvious last season that his time at the very highest level was coming to an end.

Rooney, however, felt he was still capable of scoring plenty of goals in the Premier League.

Aware that he’d be spending more time on the subs’ bench if he opted to stay at Old Trafford, the England captain decided it was in his best interests to end his 13-year spell with United.

Romelu Lukaku moved in the opposite direction and it was Rooney who led the line in Everton’s Premier League opener this afternoon against Stoke City.
