Wayne Rooney is Manchester United's all-time leading scorer.

Wayne Rooney is the record goalscorer for Manchester United and the second most goals scored in the Premier League ever behind Alan Shearer.

The former United-star burst onto the scene as a 16-year-old teenager, representing his boyhood club Everton. Since those early days, Rooney was earmarked for success by the pundits and fans alike.

As a result, Manchester United, probably the biggest club at the time, wasted no chance in snapping up the youngster and the young Rooney responded with instant success.

He was a consistent performer for United until he left in 2017 for his boyhood club Everton. During his time in the Premier League, Rooney scored a massive 208 goals in total, missing 54 big chances in the process.


#8 Daniel Sturridge (57)

Daniel Sturridge has struggled with injuries.

The former Chelsea forward has been extremely unlucky with injuries throughout his career.

Sturridge, who currently plays for Liverpool has thus far played 203 games for the likes of Manchester City, Chelsea, Bolton and West Brom in the Premier League, scoring 75 times in the process.

A Premier League winner with Chelsea and a two time Player of the Month recipient, the England international has lost a yard of pace, which might partly be responsible for missing 57 big chances.x
