Do you think that Wayne Rooney should have stayed with Everton for the 2018/19 season?Yes, he was still good enough
No, he was past it by then

Having begun his career at Goodison Park, the 34-year-old rejoined the Toffees on a free transfer in 2017 for a season after 13 years with Manchester United (per Transfermarkt).
During his final year in Merseyside before moving stateside to join D.C. United, the attacker featured in 31 Premier League games, in which he scored ten and assisted two (per Transfermarkt).
Loved it when the crowd said shoot

Wish he’d have had one more season, clearly good enough. Shame it ended like that.

What do we think?
As can be judged from the responses of Everton supporters, it is clear to see that they love the footage of the goal that Rooney scored, however, some still wish that he had another season in Merseyside.
The Englishman is currently with Derby County in the Championship and has bagged three goals and two assists in 11 league matches (per Transfermarkt), suggesting that the 34-year-old still has talent.
