One of the lads I go to the game with said "He looks like a fan who has won a competition to play centre forward as captain"
Even my fecking mum can see he is a completely useless player. Questions like I get from here that I can't answer:
"why is he playing so deep?"
"why are the midfielders more advanced than him?"
"How does he have no first touch?"
"Where did his left foot go?"

Plenty of moronic comments below the article. We need to move him back to no.10 apparently - I forgot how great he was there but thankfully they've reminded us.
it's all in the tea leaves fella..trust me.
It's starting to look like Scholes' assessment of Rooney may indeed prove to be correct.
which one? before the world cup he correctly stated he is older than his years, last week him and Rio were saying he needs pace around him
Agree with that, I am not kicking him either(at least not like some other people). I just wish he fecks off from our first XI because it's stopping us playing decent football. I couldn't care less about other things.
He was right..the annoying thing is he himself has completely abandoned the position, and its never seem more true.
In living colour
Got to be the most pointless compilation video I've ever seen.
He was saying the other day that Smalling is in the top three centre halves in the world.
I think Rooney has a fair shout of being amongst the top 3 centre halves too on this season's form.

I still can't get over this...
Almen Abdi
I had to Google who he even is. 547 minutes for Watford in the league so far this season. 1 goal but 0 assists this season.
Patrick van Aanholt
Plays for (and has been destroyed as a defender playing for) Sunderland. One of the worst starts in the Premier League ever. Decent player on his day but if it hasn't sunk in already, let me repeat it. He. Is. A. Defender. For. Sunderland.
Ahmed Elmohamady
Isn't even in the league this season. His time was playing as a right back for Hull as they got relegated last season. 10 games including Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal and us at home with Spurs and Southampton away. And he STILL created more chances than Wayne Rooney as a striker for United.
Charlie Adam
Has scored more than Wayne Rooney in the Premier League since the beginning of March. FFS.

yet hes our top scorer this season. Don't you just love irony
He is, but 3 were in one match against Bruge, 1 in the Capital One Cup. Where we could do with more goals in the PL he only has two. Not good enough.
Because he scored a hat trick against a god awful, and half depleted, Brugge side. And 1 against fecking Ipswich.
Against proper opposition he has 2 in 9 games.
Not to mention he knew feck all about his goal against Sunderland too.
Pretty damning this. And people laugh when I say that he isn't a top 150 player nowadays.
calm your tits i know. I was laughing at the Irony of that statistic not using it to defend him. He doesn't even deserve a spot on the bench in current form
According to the MEN he has been granted a testimonial next summer. So anyone thinking he will be gone in January, think again.
Can we not give him one in the summer and say goodbye then....
He was never going to be going in January anyway. It will be Summer at the absolute earliest, and even then I doubt we'll be able to offload him.
I can understand about a testimonial for the time he has been here, but the way he is playing atm, not the best time to announce it.Can we not give him one in the summer and say goodbye then....
Sorry who thought he was gonna be gone January?
He was never going to go in January, though. If he is going to leave it will be in the summer but even that is a long shot given how the manager is terrified of taking him off to press for a win against title rivals we had put on the ropes.
I think some were hoping, not a cat in hells chance.Sorry who thought he was gonna be gone January?
One of those matches where he has the touch of an elephant.
More surprised by his positioning though. He kept dropping deep and stayed outside the box. Should be tactical instructions from LVG.
Does anyone think Rooney and the people at the club are aware that most fans are pretty pissed about his continued inclusion in the starting 11? Honestly, I went to most newspaper sites today and our fans are saying the same thing we are here. Some are even wishing for him to be injured. A bit surprised fans are out on the mainstream sites voicing those opinions. Just can't see how this can go on.
Most match fans still sing his name. I think I managed to convert a lot of people in my quadrant though by keep shouting 'sub Rooney off' or 'feck off Rooney'. Had a lot of people backing me.
oh yeah fat chance that will ever happen. I just think that if certain players are benched and rightly so for their performances it should be across the board.
Getting a testimonial in the summer: http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/wayne-rooney-manchester-united-testimonial-10335465
I'd assume United pay attention to what is being said on fan forums and social media.
I really hope so...
Am I the only one being a bit saddened by this whole situation? I want him dropped because he's useless but seing a player who's been so good just lumbering around the pitch is sad and I feel a bit sorry for him. He shouldn't be playing and his state of mind can't be good right now.
Don't know what to do with him. Spark seems to be gone. Relieve him of the armband, give him a rest, rotate him a bit. Needs rejuvenating.
I wouldn't worry about that. They know very well the opinions the vast majority of fans have.
