D.C. United captain

In the 2nd paragraph in the D.C. United section it's mentioned that he was made captain after 3 games in two separate sentences. These could (and should) probably be combined. 217.39.80.21 (talk) 07:17, 6 August 2019 (UTC)

Changing the image to a more updated picture. 2016 is four years old now. There should be a picture of him in 2020. Hilder2000 (talk) 13:56, 13 August 2020 (UTC)

​The only images we are allowed to use are commons:Category:Wayne Rooney. There aren't any recent ones. – Thjarkur (talk) 14:17, 13 August 2020 (UTC)

I assume you're talking about the infobox on the right of the page? That only includes league goals, if you would care to read the article more carefully. Thanks. – PeeJay 13:15, 13 December 2020 (UTC)

Wayne rooneys goals are completely off, as shown on his official website and many sources to confirm this https://www.officialwaynerooney.com/stats/ 2A02:C7E:3251:5B00:C16C:ECDA:807F:18B2 (talk) 12:50, 15 October 2021 (UTC)

Looks fine to me. If you add up all international apps and goals to the career apps and goals among all competitions, you may find they match the numbers in the link you've provided. Iggy (Swan) (Contribs) 08:01, 17 October 2021 (UTC)

Rooney's final game in his career came in a 3-0 loss to Middlesbrough. Shortly after, he became interim manager and removed himself from the playing squad. 86.29.73.139 (talk) 07:34, 22 November 2021 (UTC)

2nd top scorer

Wayne is no longer 2nd top scorer for a club, as Harry Kane has now equalled Agueros record. 2A00:23C7:519F:1501:5894:BF46:962D:5381 (talk) 00:53, 26 August 2022 (UTC)

Missing information

Rooney was top assister in the Champions League during the 13/14 season. It isn’t listed under his individual awards. Diabolicalsituations (talk) 23:43, 8 March 2024 (UTC)

They don't give people awards for being the "top assister". – PeeJay 18:26, 9 March 2024 (UTC)

Yes they do. Look at Di Maria Wikipedia. Diabolicalsituations (talk) 18:30, 9 March 2024 (UTC)

Wikipedia does not give people awards, and just because something is acknowledged on one page does not mean it has to be acknowledged on every page. – PeeJay 19:13, 9 March 2024 (UTC)

It wouldn’t be Wikipedia giving him an award. It’s missing information that isn’t on his page. That’s stupid logic. If it’s on one page, it should be on all of them. If not, why is it on Di Marias to start with? The pettiest argument.. are you bored? Diabolicalsituations (talk) 20:18, 9 March 2024 (UTC)

09/10, 11/12, 12/13, 15/16, 16/17, 18/19, 19/20, 20/21 UCL top assister are all documented… ON WIKIPEDIA. Diabolicalsituations (talk) 20:32, 9 March 2024 (UTC)

I would argue that they shouldn't be. – PeeJay 22:44, 9 March 2024 (UTC)

Youngest Champs League player to score a hat trick?

The youngest player to score a hat trick was actually Raul v Ferencváros. Raul was 18 and 114 days old. Rooney v fenderbache was 18 and 340 days. Correct now!
