Wayne Rooney has won five Premier League titles with Manchester United, and he wants the world to know it.
The United forward posted a photo on his Facebook page in which he wore four Premier League winners’ medals around his neck.
Rooney included a caption with the photo which said “Can’t wait to get my 5th Premier League medal!”
Rooney played a key roel in United’s league championships in 2006-07, 2007-08, 2008-09 and 2010-11.
United clinched the 2012-13 Premier League title Monday, after Robin van Persie‘s hat-trick (and wonderful volley on the second goal) saw the Red Devils ease to a 3-0 win over Aston Villa. The three points gave United an insurmountable 16-point lead (with five games to play) over Manchester City, so Rooney will soon collect that fifth medal.
Whether he will stay at Old Trafford long enough to collect a sixth is uncertain. The 27-year-old is the subject of transfer speculation saying United will sell him this summer. French club Paris Saint-Germain is thought to be a leading suitor, but he would reportedly rather sign a contract extension with United than leave the club.
But questions about his future don’t seem to bother Rooney at this point, as he is busy celebrating this latest triumph.
