# ‘Did we include a buy-back clause?’ – Man United fans show love for Rooney after Man City goal

**Though they weren’t playing last night, the Manchester United fans in the Transfer Tavern let out an almighty roar at one stage.**

Indeed, the sight of Wayne Rooney scoring against rivals Manchester City was a fairly regular one for our resident Red Devils over the years, a trend that continued last night.

While it didn’t prove to be the winner, the 31-year-old notched for Everton at the Etihad last night, to make it 200 Premier League goals in his storied career.

Amazingly, Wazza’s 50th, 150th and 200th goal have come against the Sky Blues and who knows, his strike last night could have implications in the title battle to come.

That’s two in two for Rooney since his return to his boyhood charges and, predictably, quite the reaction has been sparked online.

With that in mind, here’s a look at how Man United fans on Twitter reacted to Rooney’s goal against City last night.

> Wayne Rooney doing what Wayne Rooney does.\
> Congrats Wazza!\
