Yep, I'd say about 15%, which is probably higher than Rooney's.
He clearly puts on muscle easily though, while Rooney doesn't, which is why Rooney wont ever have a good six pack, and will have slightly flabby arms even with lower levels of body fat.

15% isn't bad, and it clearly doesn't make him fat, but if it could be brought down to 12 ish %, it would be a benefit. He wont ever be twiggy, in the same way Rooney isn't, even at his trimmest.

Some players (like Shaw) are muscular but have to work more than others to keep their fat down; some (De Gea or Young) have no problems with keeping to ideal levels of body fat, but have to worker harder to gain and mantain muscle; some (Welbeck or Valencia) have it easier and have great natural bodies to work with. Some one like Rooney (and to a lesser extent, Joe Cole as an example) doesn't put on muscle that easily and also has to work harder at keeping his fat down.

Eh? Rooney doesn't put on muscle easily?

Hardly thin! Beer belly on that

Oh come on please! The wind blowing through the shirts is seriously misleading you here. Same with Rooney next to him and the same can be said of the Luke Shaw photo from earlier in this thread. Show me a photo of Jones without his shirt on and lets see that beer belly. You're better than this :devil:

Sterling looks slightly stockier in this pic. Next!

Just cringed a bit for him hearing Roy Hodgson on SSN talking about his body shape developing and his "puppy fat" (I think he actually did air quotes at one point)!

The essence of what he was saying was probably correct but it was still a tad 'embarrassing Dad/Grandad-esque'.

The faces, always the faces! :lol:
 
Feck sake. Can we catch a fecking break with these injuries?
 
He has finally arrived as a Manchester United defender.
 
Un-fecking-believable.

Could do with a banging head against wall smiley. I would get a lot of use out of it.
 
Gutted for him, he needs game time to fully gel with the squad. But delighted for Young though, perfect opportunity to carry his form into the new season.
 
We were asking for it; part of the risk when you leave all your transfers until so late. No top team should be starting their season with only one proper left back.

Guessing it's James on Saturday then, assuming Valencia isn't fit to allow Young to play on the left.
 
Good job we've brought in cover then...

Smalling or jones next?
 
Shame for the lad but hopefully that will force us to do something in the transfer market. It was always clear that we weren't going to last a whole season with Shaw as our only LB. It's only a matter of time before Evans/Jones/Rafael get injured, we should get Rojo signed up as soon as possible as he can fill in at LWB whilst also adding depth at CB.

Blackett can also do the same and we have James who looks eager to impress. I wouldn't fancy Young defending on his weaker foot. If we are going to play him at WB, it should be on the right side.
 
There must be some sort of curse with us and defenders. For the last 7 or 8 years we've constantly suffered from an injury crisis in defence at some point during the season. Only Evra seemed immune to the voodoo.

As if buying some more defenders wasn't urgent enough as it is. If we don't buy anyone we're going to need an incredibly lucky season with injuries to finish in the top 4 and as this shows we're never lucky in that regard anymore.
 
He hasn't played since the Liverpool game, has he? I remember Van Gaal saying he didn't want to play him in that game because he'd done so much fitness work earlier in the day but his hand was forced by James (I think?) getting a niggle in the warm-up. Bet he's seriously regretting that decision today.
 
Isn't it good we brought in defensive cover so early in the window instead of leaving it until the last few weeks.
 
Very rarely injured at Southampton, comes to United and is already out for a month. We're cursed when it comes to injuries.

Oh well, I suppose this will give James a chance to stake his claim. Either that, or if Valencia is back, I take it Young will be used on the left.

Wasn't that the Inter game? Anyways, the liverpool game he came on since Valenca got subbed off injured early on, don't think Van Gaal said anything about not planning on using him. Think this is just unfortunate rather then anything.
