While it wasn’t the most entertaining match, Wayne Rooney’s testimonial provided us with a moment of comic gold.
Sometimes the scoreline doesn’t tell the full story of the game.
This is not one of those times.
Manchester United celebrated Rooney’s 12-year career at the club on Tuesday night by holding Everton to a goalless draw that was every bit as boring as it sounds, despite the odd nice touches from Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
By far the highlight of the game, at least from a neutral’s perspective was Memphis Depay’s amazingly awful bicycle attempt in the second half. Depay showed a hell of a lot of ambition, but zero finesse as he tried to execute an overhead kick on a cross that went roughly a country mile over his head.
The reaction from Rooney and little Rooney says it all.

Now let’s forget that match never happened (apart from all the proceeds going to worthy causes) and look ahead to the new season.
