Truth Behind Wayne Rooney's Viral Picture

As United found themselves in dire straits, desperate for a goal, the cameras captured Wayne Rooney’s reaction, which perfectly mirrored the game's bleak situation. His expression quickly gained traction on social media, and a still image of him sitting in Old Trafford went viral.

Netizens were shocked to see the noticeable weight gain of the former English striker and current head coach of Plymouth, prompting a flurry of reactions online. However, the image circulating was actually an edited version, not an accurate representation of Rooney.

Despite the image being morphed, Rooney's appearance raised genuine concerns about his health. Fans noted how different he looked compared to his playing days, leading to a wave of worried comments from supporters.

Wayne Rooney is synonymous with Manchester United, having had a legendary career at the club from 2004 to 2017. Joining from Everton at just 18, he quickly became a fan favorite, known for his remarkable talent, versatility, and fiery spirit. Over his 13 years at United, Rooney scored a staggering 253 goals, making him the club's all-time leading scorer—a record that still stands today.
