The 2014-15 season marked a historic chapter for Wayne Rooney as he was appointed club captain, leading Manchester United with his characteristic passion and tireless work ethic. Despite frequently dropping into a deeper midfield role to support the team’s transition under Louis van Gaal, Rooney finished as the club’s top scorer with 14 goals, including a clinical strike on the opening day and a vintage brace against Newcastle on Boxing Day. This era is fondly remembered for his leadership in guiding the Red Devils back into the Champions League and his milestone moment of surpassing Thierry Henry to become the third-highest goalscorer in Premier League history.
