As was Silva.
Relax, he was giving everything in United derby and that's all we need from our captain. 
No, seriously he has passed it, cannot play football of top level anymore. He's an United legend but right now he needs to carry a plant wherever he goes, what a waste of oxygen

He scored a goal from a defensive error and did sod all else. He had a 5 yard head start on Phil feckin jagielka and still got caught up!.
Feck me, I was coming in here to say he looked better (marginally better then his current form), but those stats are terrible. I think he was difference between us winning and drawing.
I wonder what excuse Scholes has come up for that performance.
Isn't Jagielka one of the fastest players in the league at full speed, according to some statistic?
Aye, no other forward players did anything more than Rooney.
Jesus Christ, talk about brain dead statements.
Lingard did more than Rooney. Martial on the left side looked more like scoring (and he would have had to beat 2-3 players at least to do so).
This is just revealing how dumb and delusional some of our supporters are.

Young caused havoc.
Any ball with any player close to him and he loses it.
Fails to make a 5 yard pass or a 50 yard one.
Cannot run with the ball.
Cannot play with his back to goal.
Cannot hold up the ball to bring others into play.
Does not even track back well or press either from the top or when he loses the ball.
Wtf is he in the team for again?

For a generation of United fans, we have seen a plethora of great strikers up top for this club.
Think Cantona, Yorke in 99, Ruud and his majestic brilliance, Wayne Rooney in 09/10 and RVP in 12/13..That is the standard, and something we demand at a club like ours. For all his supposed faults , Fergie usually did well in selecting his forwards.
Forgive us if we think that him putting a defensive shift makes him have a good game as our main forward. For me as United fan, I just cant accept such mediocrity, the above should be the standard, always!
Its a kick in the gut when a far superior striker is in the team, and being played elsewhere..I am not looking for silent domination, I want a proper forward. This man is not one.

I was backing Rooney the other day but I'm afraid the milk has finally gone stale. (Thanks to Claude)
He's taken to aimlessly throwing himself through the air like a sack of spuds on puppet strings.
Sell Rooney, sign Carroll.

Martial created our best chance of the game with a lovely ball to Lingard. It's not even about creating chances... it's the fact that Martial looked threatening whenever he had the ball, whereas Rooney struggled holding the ball up and constantly kept giving the ball away. Experts like Gary Neville like to criticise players like Mata more than Rooney, and I'm sure we all know why that is.
I don't care if he's usain bolt, with a 5 yard head start a striker for man utd should be away and scoring.
He wasn't even that bad today. Yes, he produced nothing and he kept giving the ball away but he had some passes completed and in some instances managed to control the ball with his first touch which is realistically as much as you can expect from him these days.
We should get Kane and Mane and bench him.
Don't forget to mention that he worked hard because that's a very important trait. More important than scoring goals.
Horrendous today. Reading that he lost the ball 5 times more than any player. Jesus christ.
Yep, if someone has the time to make a YouTube vid with Martial and Rooney's touches in the game, you'll see Martial constantly getting his nose towards the goal and taking on a man while Rooney runs away from pressure if he even manages to stay in possession. It's night and day between the two in terms of attacking mentality. We need someone who has the pace and technique to bring the ball forward leading the line.
Based on his performances compared to the others in his position this season, it doesn't make sense not to play Martial up front. Similarly, it doesn't make sense not to play Rooney on the bench. He's earned some time on his arse now.
Noooooooooooooooooo.
I say every game its an issue buy now its become a farce. Why is he playing?
Rooney is not playing great by any means, but Memphis hasn't been great either and considering both Mata and Herrera are getting games, the only player Rooney is keeping on the bench so to speak is Fellaini.
It is up to the younger lads to get into the team and take his place...If Memphis puts in a few motm performances then he will take the left spot again and Martial will retake the central position, putting Rooney's position under threat but currently that isn't happening so like it or not Rooney is the best option.

I'd seriously let him go for free now that Martial is here.
I'm sure we'd get some takers.

He gave his all. I honestly don't think he is capable of more than what he showed today so he deserves credit for this game. It was similar performance to Everton but he did not get to have one-on-one with the keeper this time.
I truly hope he will be sold at the end of the season if he keeps this up. Or promote someone else to captain, but I don't know if LVG would do that.
He wouldn't even get in Villa's team at the moment. Truly abhorrent form.
He's holding everything back. It's pathetic.
"Wasn't that bad" ffs standards have dropped dramatically for a #9, gone are the days we expect the van nistelrooys, beratovs and sahas UTD. I'd be quite happy the see Wilson thrown in ahead off him ATM, I hope to God I don't see Rooney anywhere near the line up against Middleborough.
Tim Howard was very pleased by his headed clearance at the end.
1) Two wrongs don't make a right.
2) Not really. He's effectively keeping Depay (couldn't care less), Fellaini, Wilson, Lingard, Young and Pereira out of the team as our attacking options go. Martial should've taken his place up front and that gives place on the wing (or #9 for Wilson and Fellaini [I'm not a fan of him at #9]) for most of those players.
3) Why would anybody have to put in MOTM performances if 'not worst on the pitch' level should be enough to bench a player who's playing like Rooney at the moment?
4) He really isn't.
Lost the ball 28 times today. 28 FECKING TIMES! More than anyone on the pitch.
Would never describe myself as Rooney basher but must say,never seen anything like it,when it comes to passing and first touch of pro player.Not even angry at him,i just can understand how its possible,spec. those situations when he doesnt have anyone around him.
Wow..
People are finally starting to notice he's been complete shit. Don't know how long it will take before we just drop him and there isn't a huge enquiry about it. Probably a shit season and bad Euro 2016
He is 30 playing like he is 40. He needs one of those long vacation to find his form.
Is that for real? Source?
LVG is living on another planet at the moment. How can he be so stubborn and shortsighted in thinking that Rooney has't been bad?
Drop the fecking ego you narcissistic maniac.
Perhaps they bring it up each week because they are reasons for it, Louis.
He almost certainly means that he's sick of being asked about Rooney's form...though discussing it wouldn't be a problem for LVG if that form were anywhere near satisfactory.
