Watch: Rooney races back 50 yards to make superb goal-line clearance

Wayne Rooney may not offer much in attack at this stage of his career, but you certainly can't fault the Manchester United captain's effort.

Minutes into Saturday's FA Cup semi-final against Everton, Rooney, whose season has been equal parts disappointing and injury ravaged, thwarted Romelu Lukaku from finding the net by racing half the length of pitch before heading away what would have been the opening goal.

Good thing, too, as Marouane Fellaini would give the Red Devils a 1-0 lead later in the opening stanza.
