Launched last year, the Hall of Fame recognises and honours retired players who have an exceptional record of on-pitch success and have shown significant contribution to the league since its inception in 1992, as the highest individual honour awarded to players by the Premier League.
Rooney and former Arsenal captain Patrick Vieira have today both joined the six legends who were inducted in 2021, including United greats David Beckham, Eric Cantona and Roy Keane.
As well as being United’s all-time top scorer, Rooney also ranks second in the Premier League’s goals chart with 208 to his name, behind only Alan Shearer (260) on the coveted list.
