He is one of the best in the world, even still, and there's not another striker I would trade him for. He's been an absolute asset for us for s number of years and despite all the scrutiny not only from other supporters, but our own as well, he always manages to produce and react positively. It'll be a sad day when he eventually parts ways.

Which he is. No doubt.
Not really.
Gerd Muller I would have thought was the greatest international goalscorer...
Hopefully he stays with United until he retires. I'd hate to see Rooney leave.
He really is under appreciated in some parts.
Rooney is very popular in foreign countries though.
I kind of feel like his unattractiveness is the problem, he doesn't look,talk or act like a star, if he looked like Nick Powell he would be a god by now.
Yeah, I hate to see Rooney not being truly recognised as an elite player. Whenever I tell my mates Rooney is up there with the best (bar Ronaldo and Messi), I always get laughed at. He's better than Lewandowski and up there with Aguero and Suarez IMO.
In France, I don't really have this problem. Most of my mates that watch football regard him as one of the best players around.
100% agree. Rooney's has performed superbly for us for 10 consistent seasons, and yet some fans don't want to appreciate him because of what he's done in the past, despite him still being here, unlike some players that move to Real Madrid. The guys an absolute legend, whether people like it or not.
How was he on Tuesday evening? Didn't get to see the game!
He was pretty good. Arguably the only attacking player who performed in the first half, and then at the centre of all our best football in the second. Unlucky not to score (must have had a couple saved and a couple off the woodwork). Worked hard, and his long-passing game was in full flow. Produced the pass of the match with a flat, raking 50-yarder floated over a defender and into Walcott, who really should have found the back of the net.
Subtle dig noted.
That aside, it is a shame how he doesn't get the credit he deserves. Henry is spot on, opposing teams on the continent respect him as a player, and they know what he brings to the table.
Cheers!
Ander Herrera feels Wayne Rooney's leadership skills are helping to inspire Manchester United ahead of the run-in.
The club captain gave a passionate speech to the squad following the disappointing FA Cup exit to Arsenal and it had the desired impact with top-drawer performances accounting for Tottenham and Liverpool in two tough Barclays Premier League outings.

Sell him.
Man Utd 3:1 Aston Villa
Second game in a row where he hasn't impressed at all. Both games have highlighted his really bad first touch.
Under pressure, he doesn't know how to control the ball.
Has ruined almost every bit of good play, but he's working had and creating space.
Done much more than Falcao and rvp would do.
Caf logic when he plays crap.

Rooney is a very good player, but we should still look to get a new youngish Striker in (and get rid of RVP)
Didn't really do much in the first half, expect him to score though.
No, he's done absolutely nothing, and no more than the two you named.
If he's not playing well, we are entitled to call him out and discuss.
Playing such a disjointed line up earlier in the year with 2 up top clearly hurt our strikers form. They won't be afforded a run up front as a lone striker anytime soon though.
He's just fine today.
I think for games like this we need someone like Mata behind him or Di Maria
How, just how do you come up with this?
He's been probably our worst player today, barely involved, and lost the ball most of the times due his poor touch, just how is it possible that this is considered as fine?
I have lower standards than you. 
EDIT: What a shit shot, no longer fine! :X

Woah!
Boom!
More than makes up for 75 mins of crap.
Outrageous
What a goal
One of his best. Just pure class.
Some strike
Rooney to AdM/AdM to Rooney has to be our most productive partnership of the season? Anyone got the numbers in terms of how many goals they've linked up for?
That goal was an absolute beauty.
Will check after the game.
