Manchester United's all-time record scorer Wayne Rooney has re-signed for his boyhood club Everton after 13 years at Old Trafford.

The 31-year-old joined on a two-year deal for an undisclosed fee. 

Rooney made his Premier League debut at Everton as a 16-year-old in 2002 and joined United after two seasons. 

"Wayne has shown me that ambition that we need and that winning mentality - he knows how to win titles and I'm really happy he's decided to come home," said Everton manager Ronald Koeman.

"He loves Everton and he was desperate to come back. He is still only 31 and I don't have any doubts about his qualities. It's fantastic he's here."

He had 253 goals from 559 games he played for United.
