He's actually looking seriously lean.

There is a pic of him holding a boot on the United facebook and he looks malnourished.
He has come back from pre season in good shape the last few seasons now.
Thing is, Rooney for me should have equalled the united record by now. If we kept Ronaldo for his peak years, he would have already gotten to it.
Yep, he was meant to be going Italy. Funny enough we go away to Juve and he puts in an amazing performance and that was that.
He should have equalled it if you had crazy expectations about him. Ronaldo is a scoring freak, not an example to measure other players with.
Ronaldo and Messi are freaks whose records won't be emulated by many. Unfair to compare Rooney with two amongst the History's top ten players.
This ain't no dregs you're smoking, it's some premium quality shit.
Hope he has a brilliant season, not only for our results but to shut up the 'haters'. I hate the way he's treated us during his contract renewals but that's in the past, move on and give the man a chance to lead our team.
So after all that fuss Rooney kicked up with Fergie about being a goalscorer, not wanting to play deep anymore and what not, he's now told Van Gaal that his best position is not as a striker but in behind and dropping into midfield.
Says he expects himself to get both Sir Bobby's all time goalscoring records.
Louis van Gaal - 'I was not satisfied with Rooney's performance as a striker and Mata as a midfielder.' (Hence trying something different and by not being 'satisfied' he mean't they played well but not spectacular).
He also said Rooney thinks his best position is in the CAM role, but I always thought he wanted to play as a striker and that's why he wanted to leave last season?

Coincidence now that we've signed Falcao? Maybe he feared for his position in the starting XI. Being captain and all, means he has a bit more leeway than the rest.
I'd definitely rather Rooney was played as a striker where he's less involved in the build-up. He's still a fine goal scorer, but our overall play suffers when he's at #10.
Low expectations from some of you guys.
Would rather much have Rooney in my team than not he's a great player and criminally under rated on the cafe.
Leicester 5:3 Man Utd
with the comments made by vn gaal it seems he'll be on a tight rope if he doesn't perform today
So lvg not happy with his performance but rather than drop him drops our most productive player over the last ten games....
Enough of nepotism!
We demand changes!
WE DEMAND TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY!

Played alright in the first half. Nice link up with Di Maria for the assist, played Van persie in with a lovely ball (who was marginally offside), and looked proper fast when he was sprinting through the middle to get on the end of an anticipated cross.
Playing well. Touch is good, and he;s not just hoofing it to the wing.
The pass to Di Maria was perfect. Still think he can do better though. Slows down play too much for my liking, and needs to stop looking to the right hand side as his main outlet. Better though.
he hasnt been in such good condition in a few years. He's back to his ball demanding best which can only be a positive for the football club.
I think he's had a decent half, mixing his passing up more.
Again touch is poor but his link up play is excellent today. Some bad decisions with his final ball too unfortunately.
looking good again
Rooney isn't captain material, after the pen he joined the panicking players, instead of calming everyone around him.
He was trying to get sent off in the last five minutes, wasn't he?
Did well when we were on top and dominating. When we needed to get control back though I don't think he did particularly well. But certainly not one of the poorer players today. I'm not a big fan of him dropping off, certainly not when Mata is available but I also think when up top in the diamond his willingess to track back, more so than say RVP would help us.
Worst captain ever
Its hard to watch him screaming at everyone around him, when he keeps giving the ball away on the edge of his own box and in his own half and doesnt make a good pass all game
Officialy not world class anymore, its a pity that he's undroppable.
Makes you wonder about the rest when he was closest to 4th goal scorer at the moment of shot.
Good game until Clattenburg.

It's not about screaming, but just calming everyone, instead of panicking and giving a key pass to the opponent.
I actually wasn't impressed by him at all today, even in the first half. Thought he misplaced a lot of passes, and slowed down our play more often than not.
This!
Gave the ball away with a terrible clearance for the 3rd goal and then shouts at everyone else! 
Wut? He was one of the best performers on the pitch today.
People do expect superman goals all the time!
When he plays deeper that's what he does. He slows down our attack's. He doesn't have the vision or awareness of a proper playmaker so in turn just passes it back the way. He done well with Di Maria's goal, because he was looking into space, but most of the time he turns back and plays it wide after a few too many touches.
Where do i start with wayne? This is not knee jerk and have been feeling it for some time! Firstly he HAS been in decline for years now, there is no doubt in my mind! Been awful all season and is only getting in that team because of his reputation that he has created for himself a few years ago. Still has very good ability but his touch is dreadful. He is only starting because he is captain and he is only captain because there was nobody else which brings me on to my next point...
Rooney lost his head after second after the appauling officiating! Which then resulted to a poor clearence just because he was still angry. He lost his head then had the cheek to single out the defence (which were bad in the 2nd) and was shouted and screaming at Blackett. He panicked the whole team! Blackett then got nervous as did the rest! As a senior memeber he should no when the time is to encourage and when to be a bit more brutal. That was not the time! To be honest i am sick of him and wouldnt mind to see him go!
