When is Rooney documentary out on Amazon Prime and how to watch it for free

The up-front hero, 36, did it all winning the Premier League, FA Cup, League Cup, Champions League, Europea League, Club World Cup and PFA Player's Player of the Year. In total, he won 16 trophies as a Man United player and is the club's leading goalscorer of all time.

He is also the second-highest Premier League scorer of all time and is currently the top scorer for England of all time with 53 goals. He is also the Three Lions' second most capped player.

Wayne picked up the permanent Derby County managerial gig in 2021, with the embattled club fighting for survival after financial woes and subsequent points deductions.
