Top5 - Number 3: vs Middlesbrough

Back in 2005, Rooney was still just a promising talent who was destined for big things. So, when he lined up against Middlesbrough for Sir Alex Ferguson's in-form Manchester United, none could have envisaged the wonder goals that the young man would score.

In this one, the better in my opinion, was a delightful lob from distance after he saw Boro goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer languishing off his line. He softly floats the ball high over the Aussie's head and into the gaping goal.

Some finish for someone so young.
