If ever Manchester United had an iota of doubt on shelling out £26 million for an 18-year-old, it lasted for just a game.

Wayne Rooney started his career at Old Trafford with a hat-trick on debut against Fenerbahce in the Champions League, the biggest stage of them all.

An injury delayed his debut for his new club and he made Fenerbahce pay for it, annihilating them to a 6-2 defeat. The striker now has 197 goals for the Red Devils and remember, he is only 27-years-old. Look out Alan Shearer!
