Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.After celebrating his goal against Tottenham yesterday in brilliant fashion, referencing the video that emerged on the same day of him being 'knocked out' by former team-mate Phil Bardsley during a kitchen sparring session, it is no surprise it was given the full meme treatment (or should that be tweetment?).
Rooney made light of the shock video, which was filmed in his own house on 22 February, with the celebration after scoring the decisive third in the 3-0 win over Tottenham.
Talking about the video, Rooney said afterwards: "It's in my own home. It's not public. It's what friends do. They mess around in the house.
"It was a couple of mates in a private house, and somehow it’s managed to get on the front page of a national newspaper. That’s the world we live in today."
Here are the best of the Rooney memes
