He doesn't, but our team does. IMO.
I wouldnt trade him for anyone else
He has a better scoring record than all three of them. He's started only 32 games this season.
makes ya wonder what he would have acheived this season if he had stayed fit - i think he's been our best attacking player this season, including ronaldo
lets hope he can stay fit

Agreed.
You're a spastic along with your buddy Karma. You pissed off the usually cool Raven bladeRooney is beginning to form a great partnership with Ronaldo as a striking duo. The mistake was to think he could be effective, upfront, with Berbatov. Let the latter play his natural game - ie a deeper position behind the other two.
Just read some of his previous posts and my responses. What else can you say to such stupidity?
Think he's wasted upfront with Berbatov but we'll never get "the best of Rooney" because he's his best with a player like Ruud and SAF seems over players that just poach.
I'm fine with him on the left so long as he's free to also roam i.e. Ronaldo but then we need Fletcher or Park out there to compensate by running themselves ragged.
By far my favorite player at United for some time. The true heart of a lion; Terry can F off!

Brilliant, especially in the last couple of matches he has turned the season around.
Stresses the point, Goals and Assists shouldn’t count much in rating a forward especially in the premiership. This season he is having a better run than C.Ronaldo, forget about starfish Bernaaard.
Rooney hungry for more goals
Wayne Rooney insists there is still a lot more to come from him.
Although he was denied an appearance in Sunday's FA Cup semi-final against old club Everton after being left at home to rest ahead of Wednesday night's Premier League showdown with Portsmouth, it could still be a glittering year for the Manchester United striker.
He said: "I would love to score more goals consistently each year. I am still working on that and hopefully I can improve."
But there is no way the United striker will start taking it easy. He knows there is still plenty to do if he is to fulfil his talent, including scoring a few more goals.
"There is still a lot more to come from me," he said.
Rooney has reached 17 for United already this term, plus another seven for England.
"I am only 23 but I suppose I started off at an early age so I have achieved quite a lot," said Rooney.
"I understand people expect things of me now. I just have to keep playing as well as I can. That is what I must try and do.
"If I can help Manchester United or England win trophies it would be great for me."

He has nearly ten years at the top level to give to the club. And he will only get better. He is not a player I'd see leaving United unless something outrageous happens. Things are looking good./
I think he's been our best player this season.
I think he's been the best player in England.
I think he has the potential to be the best player in the world.
Thats still Vidic for me. Barring a game or two, Vidic has been near perfect. The equivalent of that kind of form for a forward would be Ronaldo's season last year.
Though Rooney hasn't surpassed Ronaldo's season of last year, there's no doubting that his overall play has been considerably better. If Rooney ever goes through a season without getting injured for prolonged periods, I suspect that we'd be witnessing something similar to what Messi has done this year.
Yes, I did just say that.
Yes, I did just say that.
As much as i love Rooney, Messi is phenonanom like a young Ronaldo (Brazil) and Rooney im afraid is not in that bracket only a few ever have been, he's imo more in a Berkamp Zola Henry class and that in itself is awesome and by no means a slur. Best English talent for years ranking alongside a Gazza Shearer Lineker Waddle Barnes Scholes and Hoddle.
Nail on head
Rooney when he was younger though, you could see him being a "phenomenon" like that.
We'll see what Messi does at the business end of this season. However, not bad to be ranked with the likes of Bergkamp, Zola and Henry. In other words truely world class. He certainly is amongst the best English talent and what's more at 23 he's still developing. I think he has every chance of being rated ahead of the others you mentioned by the time he's finished.
His omission from the PFA list is a farce. His omission from the PFA team of the season is even worse.
''I saw my mate, the other day, he said to me he's seen the white pele. so i asked, "who is he?"
was there ever any doubt?
He hasn't been in the PFA team of the year since 2005, right? He'll surely be in it this time round and hopefully win POTY.
Rooney is in great form at the moment.
Nice to see if you look at his goal return is that he scoring in the big games and against the lesser/mid table sides. No problem that the bulk of the goals have come against such opposition, Ronaldo was the master at that, but he also has 2 against City, 1 against Arsenal, 1 against Chelsea in the CS and one against Spurs so his overall contribution in terms of winning games has been magnificent.
If he keeps this going for the remainder of the season he's got to be candidate for top three in the big individual awards and a candidate for player of the season which would be a big step in his individual career.

feckin' rooney!! i love him!!
Better Premier League goal return (goals per game) than every striker who currently plays in England except for Torres, if my stats are correct.
If he keeps this form up, he could get in nominations for World Player of the year, which would be a massive achievement
Nice to see him scoring with a few headers
He's just fantastic.What a way to score so fecking late, I was really shitting it
His overall play today was magnificent, better than his 4 goal return as Fergie said. I'm going to jizz in my sleep dreaming of that pass to Giggs, as well as the shift with the outside of his boot before it.
One word. Legend.
The guy's movement is out of this world. The amount of times he loses his marker and finds himself in space is unreal. He could almost reach Ronaldo figures this year.
In past years he's gone on scoring runs like this, but gone missing just as long as if someone flicked a switch.
Hopefully he can keep up a consistancy with his scoring, and the rewards will come, both for the club and himself...

This thread wouldn't have been bumped if it wasn't for Nani and Giggs. Two amazing crosses.
You're missing the point mate.
Right place, right time. He scored and won the game. That's all that matters.
Technique doesn't win matches.
