Rooney's first United hat-trick came on his debut on 28 October 2004, in a 4-0 win over Fenerbahce in the Champions League. However, his first Premier League hat-trick came two years later, on 28 October 2006, during Manchester United's 4-0 win over Bolton Wanderers at the Reebok Stadium.

When he was just 20 years old, he gave masterclasses in finishing. His goals that day included a sharp counter-attack from Louis Saha, a well-placed effort past the goalkeeper, and a stunning late strike to seal the hat-trick.

Amad's display against Southampton came late, as he scored all three in just 12 minutes. He is the first United player to score a hat-trick since Cristiano Ronaldo.
