Wayne Rooney roasts Manchester City fans on Twitter

Wayne Rooney may have swapped the red of Manchester United for the blue of Everton, but it seems Manchester City fans haven’t forgotten the 31-year-old’s exploits against their club.

Rooney, who moved back to his boyhood club Everton in the summer after 13 trophy-laden years with Manchester United, scored the opener in the Toffee’s 1-1 draw with City on Monday night at the Etihad.

And after cupping his ears and celebrating in front of the home end, Rooney was subject to quite a bit of abuse, but the 31-year-old probably couldn’t hear it as he was mobbed by his teammates on reaching the milestone mark of 200 Premier League goals.

Rooney, who scored quite a few against United’s arch-rivals City while he was a Red Devil, is perhaps most famous for his overhead kick against them in 2011, a goal which is said to be the finest the Manchester Derby has ever witnessed.
