The Athletic FC Podcast · What If... Wayne Rooney joined Manchester City in 2010? · 13 Sep 2026 podcast

Uh matched

It w yeah, it would have been really, really, really badly received by huge numbers of Manchester United fans and it would have you know, it it w just im j j j just imagine ha what it would be like the first Manchester Derby in which Rooney was lining up in blue and the booing and the hatred and the placards and the signs and all all the rest of it, it would have been yeah, I don't really think matched

there I can't really think of any precedents for it. matched

I mean I suppose you could say Saul Campbell it's not quite the s it's not quite the same, but that's that's one I I think it would have been that level of of of hatred directed towards him. matched

I hypothetically had this happened. matched

Yeah. matched

I mean it's interesting. matched

I mean I let's say they signed him in twenty ten. matched

I think there's no reason to assume that Guardiola wouldn't have taken the job in uh to to start to replace Pellegrini in twenty sixteen. matched

I don't think I think Dan is probably broadly right. matched

I don't think things would have would have changed the path that much. matched

I certainly don't I guess the really qu interesting question is would they still have signed Aguero because you know, would you matched

need Aguero six months after signing if you signed Rooney in January twenty eleven, do you need ru Aguero in the summer of twenty eleven? matched

I'm not sure. matched

Would Rooney have done as well for Aguero as City? matched

I doubt it. matched

I mean I don't think he would have scored 260 goals for City like Aguero did over the course of ten years. matched

Um simply based on Rooney's output for Manchester United you know for Manchester United Everton and elsewhere in the 2010s. matched

So I matched

think in the main it probably like City probably would not have been as good. matched
