Wayne Rooney’s preseason has been priceless. After captaining England to a disastrous showing at Euro 2016, Rooney took a brief vacation before joining Manchester United’s preseason training under new manager Jose Mourinho. His first viral sensation of the new campaign occurred after he was double nutmegged by Memphis Depay and Daley Blind.

Rooney was back at it in China, playing some fantastic footie tennis with the lads. We can’t be certain as to who Rooney was playing against, but the venom on the hit makes me think it’s Anthony Martial.
However, after naming Blind as the slowest player on the Manchester United squad, it could’ve certainly been the Holland international getting a bit of payback.
Great reactions, @WayneRooney! #MUTOUR https://t.co/lm8dfP6ajl

This video just gets better and better the more you see it. It’s long been accepted that Rooney has a mug like Shrek, and it turns out that seeing Shrek get pegged by a soccer ball is thoroughly enjoyable.
