Rooney is the second-highest goal scorer in Premier League history, with 208 goals for Man United and Everton, with whom he won five league titles.

Vieira, on the other hand, guided Arsenal to three Premier League titles in 11 seasons, including the ‘Invincibles’ club that went undefeated in 2003/2004.

The pair join Alan Shearer, Thierry Henry, Eric Cantona, Roy Keane, Frank Lampard, Dennis Bergkamp, Steven Gerrard, and David Beckham as the ninth and tenth players to be inducted into the Hall of Fame.

Rooney presently manages Derby County, while Vieira currently manages Crystal Palace.

“It’s a wonderful honour for me to be named in the Premier League Hall of Fame, with such an incredible group of players who have previously been inducted,” Rooney stated in response.

After winning the Champions League, Kylian Mbappé is expected to be announced as a new signing by Real Madrid the following week.

In February, the 25-year-old international athlete made his choice. He can now be regarded as a new Real player because every document has been completed, sealed, and signed.

As per media reports, Kylian Mbappé joined Real Madrid from Paris Saint-Germain on a free transfer. “.. I wanted to announce to you all that it’s my last year at Paris Saint-Germain. I will not extend and the adventure will come to an end in a few weeks. I will play my last game as Parc des Princes on Sunday,” Mbappe said in a video statement on X.

“It’s a lot of emotions. (For) many years I had the chance and great honour to be a member of the biggest French club, one of the best in the world which allowed me to travel here,” Mbappe added.

“It’s hard and I never thought it would be this difficult to announce that I will leave the country, France, the league and the Championship. But I think, I needed this, a new challenge after seven years.”
