There’s very little that surprises you in football these days, but Wayne Rooney’s recent revelation may have done just that.

After leaving Derby County, it seems that Rooney had a completely different career choice in mind before the DC United opportunity arose.
“I applied to do a degree in law,” he admitted to reporters. “[…] It’s something I’ve always been interested in.”
