It was announced in July 2011, that Wayne Rooney’s jersey was the best-selling sports product that is under the auspices of the Premier League. Manchester United sold, during the 2009–10 season, between 1.2 million and one and a half million shirts and it is estimated that of that, Rooney’s name was printed on several hundred thousand.
