Schweinsteiger, Man Utd & even Everton get involved in birthday love for Rooney

Footballers and clubs have been sending their birthday wishes to Wayne Rooney.

Rooney turns 31 on October 24, with the Manchester United captain having hit a troubling period in his career as he struggles to break into the starting XI for both club and country.

He's clearly not been forgotten about, though, with the likes of United teammates Bastian Schweinsteiger and Andreas Pereira getting involved in the birthday love.

 

All the best to your birthday, my friend! Enjoy your day@waynerooney
