Really liking the look of some of the link up play that Rooney is having with RVP at the moment. Its something that creates chances out of no where and would worry any defence. Hopefully they continue to gel together and become even more lethal
He has really upped his level of play since we got RvP.
He's all over the place and it's just a joy to see him in such a state.

Didn't have a particularly outstanding game yesterday, but his link up with RvP is amazing to watch, and it seems like they're getting to know each other better and better with each passing game.
Overall he has been fantastic since coming back, and United's overall play has greatly improved since his return.
I think this is the start of a wonderful partnership between 2 of the best strikers in the world, and seeing as they've just about hit their stride we should be in for a handful of goals between the two.
Oh and, happy birthday Wayne

Roberto Carlos mentioned something about Anzhi making a bid for Rooney.
The title's misleading.
Basicaly what he was saying is that the owner is willing to invest and that any club could use a player like Rooney (duh).
He was never specifically talking about him, unless I misinterpreted the whole thing.

That's the way I read it too, it's just lazy journalism with sensationalist headlines which have no foundation whatsoever.
If they'd have asked the Accrington Stanley manager if he'd like to sign Rooney, he'd have said yes to that one aswell.

What a scholar..
Any idea how credible this figure is? Shocking if true.
'City's information'
Incredibly credible.

feck me. What a load of shite.
Maybe post the source to help determine its validity....
If it's someone like Duncan Castles I would take it with a pinch of sodium chloride
Given how much we are in love with Wayne Rooney, I wouldn't put it past Fergie. No other player had such freedoms under him. Quality players like Becks and Ruud were given the boot for pretty much harmless things, whilst Rooney was rewarded with a huge payrise.
Rooney only got freedom because ronnie had left.
If ronnie stayed, Fergie would have no issue fecking off wayne.
Should've just tried giving ronnie 300k a week in 2009. Would've completely blown everything/everyone else out of the water but hindsight says it would've been worth it.
You haven't got a clue have you.
Like consistently requesting a transfer and making it clear he didn't want to be here?
Not quite harmless, is it?
Cantona had as many freedoms from SAF as Rooney has been receiving, probably more. I can see Rooney having a Cantona esque impact on the current team too so it makes sense?
Some people like to ignore facts to suit their own argument, both Ruud and Ronaldo were determined to leave
Ruud for example was harmlessly bullying Ronaldo

I wouldn't bother with that one, she's a fangirl
I'd love to be a fly on the wall when he'd pitch that to the Gill/ the Glazers - immediate £80m income on one played and get his £5m+ p/a wages off the books or invest £75m on giving him a new contract. How would you propose to pay for the 2010 bond issue with £90m less in the club's bank account?
Wayne Rooey on £300k p/w? Not a chance. We're not run by complete idiots.
I've been saying this for years.
Its easy to "follow your dream" when they triple your wages.
Yet the club were praised for arguing Ronaldo should have honor his existing contract... not giving in to "player power"
All very short sighted
Right decision to bring Rooney off today due to him being on a yellow and the Bridge trying to get him sent off, however, I do feel that if he had remained on the pitch we would have bagged at least another goal againt the 9 men such is his creativity.
I think Fergie subbed him off because he was poor, nothing else really.
Poor display from Rooney. Started well then really careless first to lose possession, then to concede a freekick in such a dangerous position with a reckless challenge.
Are you serious? So the yellow and then a tackle that was basicaly his final warning weren't the reasons?
Ronaldo will be making 400k p/w by this time next year won't he? I imagine they looked into how much it would cost to keep Ronaldo, a player who was evidently unhappy in his last year, and realised it didn't add up. +£80m to let him move on or -£150m to keep him for the next 5 years. Given the worth/cost of Ronaldo the club obviously would've looked at every possible angle, it would've been a careful, vital strategic decision...very harsh to call it short-sighted with nothing to back it up. We're not run by fools.
Good man , now sort that red mist out.
okay, maybe one of the reasons eventough that was bad decision because his last foul was never a foul, it was poor decision by the ref, but my point is still the same, he was poor.
How is your point still the same? Your point was that he was brought off because he was poor, "nothing else really", you said.
It's pretty clear why he was brought off, because he'd have been sent off. The crowd were agitating for things to be levelled up, Rooney was on a booking and had been given a warning for another foul. One more and he was gone, the ref would've been pressured into making the decision.
Rooney may well have been poor in the second half, but that wasn't why he was brought off, so your point was bollocks, frankly.
I liked his passing today, really crisp. He also did a great job tracking back and making some good interceptions.
I didn't notice him too much going forward, maybe why some of you are saying that he had a poor game. He has hit a decent run of form though for sure.

Not the best of performances in terms of supporting the attack and creating goalscoring chances. However, in these types of tight high stakes matches, he is always dependable in helping out with the defending and I thought he put himself about quite well.
Alot of our best passing started through him in the first 30 odd minutes. He did start to become less effective in the second half though in terms of keeping the ball and creating for us.

Brilliant up until the brainfart for their freekick. I think he stayed in the dressing room after half time.
He had a stupid moment or two. But apart,from that he was good
I thought he did really good in the first half, and then in the second he was treading a bit of a fine line especially with them having reds. Got subbed off purely because it looked like he might have gotten sent off. He was definitely playing sort of an attacking midfielder, was not a forward today so you can't expect him to have the same goalscoring input but he wasn't a pure midfielder either. Thought he did well though, good passing throughout the game. Struggled a bit when we were under pressure but you can't really expect him to relieve the pressure single handedly.
Okay, being on yellow card is one of the reasons, I made a mistake when I said that, but I still don't think it was main reason he was brought off.
I'd say you're in a group of one, since it was pretty obvious for all to see what happened. The fact it was almost immediately after he'd been warned for a tackle, where the crowd were calling for him to be booked again, made it pretty clear.
Red mist? He picked up one yellow all of last season.
