One of the worst individual displays I've seen in a long time. I backed him to have a good season up front, but he's worse than Falcao at the moment. Abysmal.
Where are all the posters who believed he would score 20 goals for us? He was awful for the second half of last season as well and has carried on from there.
His best piece of play today was salvaging an opposition throw-in rather than an opposition goal kick after being through one on one with the keeper.
Go and get a striker so he has competition, Hernandez is good but he's really only going to be a supersub under LVG.
Rooney needs a gigantic kick up his arse.

is it me, or should he have at least got a shot away in that final few seconds?
instead if ran away from him and all he could do was stick it our for a throw to waste time.
not sharp at the moment, but history has shown he's a streak scorer, and takes awhile to get up to it

No longer good enough as a striker, number 10, midfielder. He's only starting because he is captain and there are no better strikers.
He's just out of shape. It will take maybe 1-2 months before he's back to his best.
He cant lead the line because he is too erratic. This is why that we are playing him upfront until we get a striker. Rooney then will have to rotate with januzaj in the middle.
I thought I had seen it all with this performance tonight and then I see him mouthing off at everyone near the end.
Reminded me of him giving shit to the players in the Leicester melt-down last season, despite him being one of the primary reasons our play went to shit.
Atrocious performance tonight. Our rivals will be pissing themselves if we persist with him. I'd love him to get our goalscoring record but he has no chance at this rate.

Never seen him play so badly
Meh always been a purple patch player, nothing new to see here.
Said that in the match day thread. He was so bad I was getting embarrassed for him.
Starved of chances but even the most partisan Rooney fan would be hard pushed to find anything positive to say about his start to the season. Touch is totally gone. He's been some player but he looks like a guy in the middle of a steep decline right now. And, judging by his body language, he knows it.
That last touch, I felt bad for him 
That was horrible
That was horribleName anyone who was worse than him today from both teams.
hopefully he gets a bollocking
Shame you have to choose from 1-10 in the player ratings section. 0 seemed a suitable rating after that performance.
He's fecking shit. There are probably better strikers in the Championship.
He's completely pointless these days. He contributes very little and looks like he could play all day and not even get in a position to score.
He ish my captain
He ish undroppable
He ish bigger than the club
Yesh!!!!

Would've been nice if we'd just taken the money from Chelsea.
We're stuck with him, now, though. Can't sell because of his wages. Just have to hope he comes good... He can still finish. It's not impossible that he could score twenty league goals whilst generally being rather crap.
Said it 3 years ago already, he is the problem and hes becomming a bigger problem week after week.
Absolute disgrace to have him in his current form represent united.
Just plain embarassing to watch.

This was the worst performances I've ever seen from Rooney.
Face facts... we all know he will start on Tuesday.
But how long will this go on before there is a realistic chance of him getting dropped.
And how can LVG not be looking for another striker while the window is still open.

Diabolical performance. No effort, no graft and generally strolled around the pitch today. Didn't even get in a possession to have a scruffy shot. Really needs to work his bollocks off as a leading striker, just not good enough at all.
Of course he should have. It was an atrocious first touch.
Hes not a player who should be playing with his back to goal for the majority of the game. Im surprised so many here seem shocked at his performances whereas its been clear for quite a while that rooney is a CF/SS and not a ST. He gets dominated physically and doesnt have turn of pace to bother a CB. He needs to influence the game more. He needs a proper no.9 playing next to him.
Waste of space. 'But the thing with Rooney, is even when he doesn't play well, he still contributes.' He's rubbish. He'll get some tap ins, he'll score one from range or whatever, but he's rubbish. That wasn't too far off how he generally has played for years now, give or take a goal or two..
It'll go on for ages. The captain is undroppable in Van Gaal's eyes. I do wonder if that's part of the issue. His place isn't under any threat whatsoever.
Biggest mistake was to make him captain. All this Rooney is undroppable bs has to stop. Get a striker and sit the fecker on the bench as long as he can't control a football.
As bad as he was. Doesn't beat his Swansea performance.
We need to get a pacey striker.

The thought of him leading our line for the rest of the season actually angers me
Shocking tonight. Terrible.
Whats even worse is that Hernandez didn't even get a chance because there's no way he should have played 90 minutes. Captain privileges is such a cop out on LvG's part too. This could be an achilles heal for us this season.

Against Swansea in 2012/2013, it was that bad.
Does he ever get criticized in the british media ?
Is this some kind of apology on his behalf?
Needs to be replaced, asap.
Those last 10 minutes were hilarious. Couldn't control the ball, couldn't pass it 5 yards, horrible touch, go outmuscled by fecking Richards. Amazing!

Never mind that, I'd find it hard to find the last time any player for us has had a worse game than that. Absolutely woeful... Hopefully Van Gaal shows his ruthlessness and drops him now. He needs a dose of reality that he won't start if he keeps playing like that. And it compounds how desperately we need another striker.
Apparently, his first touch in the box all game was when he was put through late on and just about managed to kick the ball out of play.
