Delighted for him.. His best performance in 2015 probably (even though it was merely just good)
 
He bloody well of wanted to make up for that chance he screwed up with the ball at his feet.
 
It's a shame to feel that I can't enjoy his goal properly knowing its guaranteed him a starting spot till end of the season now.
 
Bittersweet, I'm happy we've scored but now this has guaranteed Rooney won't get dropped so long as LVG remains manager.

It did, indeed.

Also, you're a bit of a cnut yourself, aren't you? Sorry to single you out, as you're not alone in this, but it's true. He's a United legend, be respectful.

Most likely yes, but a lot of us were/are sick of his shite this season
 
Best performance for a long long time but he's still be sloppy at times and is trying to do too much on his own now.

I know mate, I am as well. There are proper way of expressing that though. Again, I don't want to make this about you, it's for whoever reads it.

Its not really saying much. I thought he was still very wasteful today. You cant argue with the decision to keep him on as it got us the goal but honestly i would love to see what we look like without him this season

Yep, one of his best performances in 18 months. Solid 6/10

I'd agree with this. He's done okay and he took his goal well but that chance beforehand was a joke. Won't hold my breath that it'll make a difference come the weekend.
 
I have very little hope left but I really do hope he gets some confidence from that and kicks on.
 
This performance is the best we can hope for these days, which is really sad.
 
Happy for him. You could see him from his celebration how much it meant to him. You know that this bad form has been eating him up inside.

Hope he carries on.
 
His best game of the season for me by far. Only lost the ball twice and held on to it. Even his crossfield balls were working. Scored a crucial goal.

Fair play Wayne
 
His touch and performance were....better.

Still wasn't a threat and the surprise when he actually scored was the strangest feeling.

Hell, the surprise when the team actually scored was the strangest feeling, barely reacted because I didn't believe it.
 
still not convinced as he hasn't really kicked on from any of his goalscoring games but fair play, goal's a goal
 
Great... Means he will start the next 10 games. If that's now his best then we will struggle as he was poor apart from the goal. Gave away the ball most times.
 
Seems many critics are trying to hold back in the praise. I'm possibly his biggest, but he was excellent tonight. Second only to Jesse as MOTM for me. Best performance for ages. I doubt he can keep that up, but if he does we have a real chance.
 
Had a good first half

Went missing like the rest at the start of the 2nd missed a bad chance thankfully came back and scored a vital goal

I'm delighted for him.
 
It's not just the goal though is it?

Comfortably his best performance in a while.

His passing stats will be healthy. He played Lingard in a couple of times. Had a few raking long passes. And scored.

I've been calling for him to be dropped but no one can complain tonight. It won't silence the doubters obviously (hate that phrase), but he did his job very well.
 
No idea how to rate him on this one. For the first 15 minutes and 5 minutes for and after his goal he was a solid 8/10. His touches and passing were crisp, played a few awesome passes, one lovely flick for Lingard and general looked like a different player from what we've seen for a year or more.

The other 70 minutes were standard for this season - 5/10 at best. I'd probably go for 6.5 if that was an option, since his goal was divisive.
 
Feck all the negativity that was a big win for us not just in terms of the group but to break the streak of nil nils. I'm very happy right now.
 
Fully justified his inclusion ahead of Herrera tonight before he moved up top and played with a lot more confidence after that. That's our best team, for me. Toss up between Lingard and Memphis.
 
Havent celebrated a goal like that for ages. The fact that, prior to this game, we hadnt scored for three games and Rooney hasnt been firing made it a very special and important goal.
