The Red Devils took to Instagram to remind their followers about the captain's spectacular goal in a past Manchester derby
Great goals often live long in the memory but great goals in big matches mean even more. One such stunner was Wayne Rooney's outrageous overhead-kick in the Manchester derby of 2011, which came five years ago today.
Rooney's belter gave Manchester United a 2-1 win over Manchester City and gave the Red Devils a boost in the title race, with the striker describing it as his "best ever goal" at the time.
And to mark the anniversary of the strike, the Old Trafford club took to Instagram to post a video of the effort, with the England captain in full flight and Joe Hart stranded.
What. A. Goal. Five years ago today. #mufc
