Wayne Rooney lines up for Everton against Manchester United for the first time in 14 years

Wayne Rooney returns to Old Trafford for the first time since his summer transfer from Manchester United to Everton this Sunday.

United's all-time leading goalscorer is assured of a warm welcome as he returns to the pitch he graced in United colours for 13 years.

The last time Rooney played against United was as an 18-year-old on Boxing Day 2003, during his first spell at Goodison Park.

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho says Wayne Rooney will 'get a welcome he deserves' when the former captain returns to Old Trafford as an Everton player for the first time since he left in the summer.

The teenager played 70 minutes on that occasion, in a 3-2 United victory that took them back to the top of the Premiership ahead of Chelsea and Arsenal.
