Where are they now? The Man United XI that thumped Arsenal 8-2 in 2011

Wayne Rooney

Wayne Rooney has achieved a fair bit since his hat-trick against the Gunners back in 2011.

He had his best goal-scoring season in that campaign with 34 goals in 43 appearances for United, and then went on to win the Premier League with the club in 2013, his fifth league title.

Rooney has also become England captain and their record goal-scorer, having surpassed Sir Bobby Charlton’s tally of 49 in September 2015 against Switzerland, and he is now just two behind the World Cup winner in United’s all time goal-scoring charts, having netted 247 to Charlton’s 249.

Although Rooney’s future at the club has been discussed repeatedly in the last few years, the 31-year-old is still there and is still an important part of the squad – it’s just about deciding where best to play him.
