It's a pretty shitty headline, made to look as if he's almost bragging about it but good job from him.

He's been great.
He shoots.
He scores.
For England.

I think off the pitch he is a great Captain. Perhaps this is why LVG likes him so much. He is almost like a middle manager, who knows how to talk to people and the media.
His problems though, relate to his on-pitch performances.
He's been good, not great.
That's crap journalism, what's wrong with a bloke checking his mates are ok?
Did these words really come out of Wayne Rooney's mouth?
He actually had a good touch and was creative tonight. Not peak Rooney levels but if he performed like that for us I would definitely be content with him in the side.
Thought he was really good today. Faded a bit in the second half, but he seemed a lot more comfortable. On paper he was on the wing, but he was able to roam around, and it looked like it did him the world of good. Involved in two of the goal too.
I missed that.
You mean when he turned koscielny inside out and narrowly missed smashing it into the top corner from outside the area? Or do you mean all of his very good passing play? Or do you mean his goal?
No problem with having a go when hes rubbish, but tonight suggested it has been form, rather than "his legs have gone". He played well.
Of course this is a friendly in weird circumstances, but he looked sharp to me.
Yes, word for word, give or take a few "uhms" in there.
I think he looked ok, and i hope LvG watched this. Him interchanging with Mata/Herrera/Lingard/Young/Memphis/Pereira/whatnot at 10, left wing, right wing could be the best way to use him, with Martial upfront.
He showed glimpses tonight of what he was. I do hope he can shove all the criticism down everyone's thoats (mine included). I'd happily eat humble pie if he can play like that for United consistently.
He's going to have to play "sharp" against more than a disinterested French team to prove he's still got it. If Martial's out on Saturday, I'd suggest bringing your knitting to wherever your watching the game.

I'm not sure how much we can draw from that match.
I dont think he's half as stupid as some people make him out to be. Not the most articulate person generally (though that quote is good), but he doesnt come across as a tool.
a friendly against a French team who clearly weren't up for it but a good performance non the less, hopefully brings it to Watford.
Handy, I was going to watch the game at my knitting class!
There's a lot of top class football left in this lad...
Honestly didn't take much from that match last night. It was pretty crap I thought - the match itself I mean, with plenty of bad passing. Nearly fell asleep watching it.
Rooney got his goal and credit for being there but should have been saved. We'd be pissed if De Gea let that in.
Still - we live in hope he might spring into life based off one of these goals in low-pressure games.

Nah, it was volleyed from really close, huge speed on the ball and at hips height so not practical at all for a keeper. Strongly doubt any keepers could've pulled off a save.
In a friendly.
People are so bitter when Rooney does half decent.
Rooney played well, but the keeper should have done better
It's not so much bitter as annoyed that he seems able to turn it on for England but not his wage paying club. Personally I'm hoping it can be the catalyst for improved club form
Unfortunately we've been saying this since the Brugge away trip. That's the problem - this seems to be the best he can offer and regardless of how average it is, he doesn't even show it that often.
Bring him home, Wayne.
Pogba would be nice too.
Na, it's definitely bitterness. If Rooney plays well for England and not for club, then the club have got to look at how they are playing him, and what can be done to better him. For example, Rooney had a lot of freedom playing for England yesterday. He doesn't have that for United at the moment.
Aye, that lack of freedom is what's causing him to mis-control the ball and pass it into touch.
He's playing a bit better now - that's all it is. Nothing to do with England. He's still average as hell and robbing a living.
He playing better than he was, he was better vs West Brom and I believe the game before. Lets not drop the bar though, his performances have gone from poor to average. Its a good thing though, hopefully the tradjectory keeps that ways and he moves from average to good and above this season.
Wasn't he a bif naff in the previous England games, where he struggled to break the record? His form has just improved, doubt it has anything to do with so called lack of freedom at United.
Agent Rooney.
All three of them have heads growing on their left ears.
