It's two years since Manchester United allowed Wayne Rooney to leave Old Trafford on a free transfer... but some fans have taken to Twitter to call for his return.

Some were joking but many sounded deadly serious as they tweeted the 33-year-old's praises after he scored a stunning winner for DC United against Orlando City.

Rooney, who joined DC from Everton last summer, nailed a sublime lob from well inside his own half after spotting City keeper Brian Rowe off his line.
