The goal I wish I'd scored: Rooney v Man City

Wayne Rooney’s incredible overhead-kick against City in 2011 was not only enough to win the 158th edition of the Manchester derby - it also later went on to claim the club’s Goal of the Decade award, plus a special Premier League gong for the finest effort in the first 20 years of the rebranded top-flight.

As many as five past and present Reds have also selected it as the goal they wished they’d scored, as part of an ongoing United Review feature which celebrates us hitting the 10,000-goal mark earlier this season.
