Most players who play with him rate him, he must be a fantastic teammate to have. Very selfless.
Really enjoy the partnership forming with Di Maria I have to admit, they definitely seem to be on the same wavelength.

Tbh, he was considered to be just behind Messi and Ronaldo (potential wise or otherwise). Over the years, quite a few players have surpassed him. "Those are not my facts. Those are facts of Wayne Rooney."
This. The gulf between a Rooney in form and a Rooney off his game is absoloutley massive. His bottom level is truly horrendous while he is world class when on form. Sure there might be some kneejerk reactions here and there, but i think there are a couple of factors one need to consider.
- His massive wages
- His flirting with other clubs
- Him being one of, in not THE "star player"
- When he does have bad games, he stinks
- Fotballfans in general being spastics with very short memories
I said a while back that Di Maria is our new Ronaldo. And I didn't just mean that in the sense of him being an indisputably world-class player who can score and create with the best of them. It's also because, at this early stage, he's linking up with Wayne Rooney on the counter-attack every bit as well as Ronaldo used to. The Arsenal game is the prime example (Di Maria releasing Rooney to score, Rooney releasing Di Maria to get a 1 on 1), but there have been a few other examples as well. The two of them together are a potent threat, and Rooney is showing he can still do it at that advanced level.
The main thing I take from this, though, is sadness. Because Rooney and Ronaldo through 2009-2014 could've - no, *would've* - been spectacular. And we never got to see it, even if his link ups with Valencia and Young were also quite good.

Hererra's first goal for United.
has there been any news about Rooney having an injury?
he is showing as a doubt with only 75% chance of playing tonight on fantasy footy website

Hobbled off the pitch after colliding with an advertising hording in injury time (ironically). After the match Van Gaal said Rooney told him he'd be fine to start tonight.
And continued with ''but he always says that''.
I'm honestly not sure if he'll start which would be a massive blow.
I didnt realise that - he is in one of those rich streaks of form so I hope he is ok
Now the important question is whether I go ahead and buy him for my fantasy team
It was an impact injury. Do you really think Wayne Rooney will drop out of a match-day squad because he's got some bruises?
Yep, Rooney will be fine. He had a dead leg at most unless he hit his knee and twisted it when landing. I would be very surprised if he doesn't start.
Rooney will play. Rooney will score. Rooney will conquer.
Based on this comment Ive bought him for my team - Im holding you directly responsible if he doesnt play
I brought in Falcao. Its a high risk strategy but quite frankly Im doing so badly I need to do something dramatic to either make or break my season.
Lusi, Ici, Vinci
BBC have mentioned that LvG has said that Rooney is out injured. So whats that 42 injuries this season already?
D'oh!
We'll miss him, as we do everytime he isnt available.
To quote myself
Any news on the injury?
He will be a big miss. Hope he isn't out for long.
Disappointed he's out, not getting the luck of the draw at all with our injuries.
Feck sake, please not be out for more than tonight.
Hope it's just a precaution considering Rooney thought he was fine after the Hull game.
Feels like we see this almost every season with him. He has a purple patch and he's our best player ever. Then he gets injured, takes too long to get his touch back and is labelled a pub player.

I guess it's simply precautionary to avoid being out for much longer than just the Stoke match.
When this guy hangs his boots up you'll miss him.
Did LVG say anything about Rooney? I heard on social media he was having a scan.. 
Fingers crossed he's back for Southampton, which is thankfully on a Monday. If we continue with a diamond, there's no other striker we've got like Rooney who drops off into pockets and links up with the midfielders.
Still our best player. Di Maria can be be but at this point it is still Rooney and very obviously so.
What the actual feck?
X-mas party.
Not just a football player. An artist at heart.
The pianist looks like he's going to break out in a fit of laughter.
Trained today, definitely back on Monday.
Just saw this stat:
Aguero since signing for city 2011 56 goals and 23 assists in 93 games
Rooney same period 59 goals and 32 assists in 96 games

I do like the look of that stat!
Presumably that's appearances, rather than starts, right? I'd imagine Rooney's notched up a lot more minutes in those games?
Hold on. They seem to be completely wrong!
Wiki has Aguero down as scoring 94 in 141. So I'm calling bullshit on your stats...
