He's class.
Apart from the mistake, which thankfully wasn't costly in the end, I felt he was really good.
Very interesting that Mourinho played him deeper today, even when Carrick was on the pitch.
People are saying Pogba will replace him in the team, but don't be too surprised to see both, Pogba and Fellaini starting in the deeper roles for us.
Jose likes physicality, and that's certainly what Fellaz gives you.
Carrick with Fellaini and Pogba ahead either side of him would make for a strong midfield three, but that's not happening with Rooney aroundApart from the mistake, which thankfully wasn't costly in the end, I felt he was really good.

He actually had a decent game until his mistake.
Lol at that last paragraph, there are loads of players you could say the same for, a new manager isn't going to make 23 signings when they come in.Anyone who says he had a good game, I just dont see it lads. He is not a central midfielder. He doesnt want the ball, doesn't see a single decent pass and just passes back all the time.
I really hate Moyes for buying him. Even though LVG and Jose now hve used him, I dont believe they woild ever have bought him.
Constantly out of position trying to play as a striker leaving Carrick/Herrera completely isolated and allowing Leicester to go through our midfield as if there was nobody there.
Yes, obviously.Is he actually any better than Darron Gibson, for instance?

Don't think it's the fact Rooney is around, but more because Jose has expressed that he prefers to play a 4231. Even if Rooney was dropped, Mourinho would possibly put Mata or Mkhitaryan in place of him.
I do prefer a 433 myself, though.
I do think Pogba would work brilliantly in rooney's position, the freedom he gets to drive forward I would love to see pogba played there helping zlaten out, if jose wants the team quicker so zlaten gets the service, there is a fundamental problem with that, rooney playing there. A 433 or pogba played in a no10 would work wonders for the team, rooney just adds nothing to the team. Fellaini? no, would rather we signed a top class midfielder to play in fellaini's position, and probably 2017/18 season its going to take for the proper Jose Mourinho team to be seen, that is quick, powerful looking to dominate and has the full mentality of winning trophy's, this season is about injecting that into the team which will be done hopefully
