I'm all for dropping Rooney as well but he'd have scored the chance Martial missed yesterday. If there's one thing he can still do, it's finish.

Indeed.

If you look closely, you'll notice that he missed that because he was playing in the 10 position/in midfield/as a striker/tactics were holding him back/he didn't have enough pacy team mates playing with him/he's more of a creator than a finisher/we pay him too little/he's angry and frustrated at not being in the first team/we didn't buy Ozil/the Caf was being to harsh on his performances.*

That Martial chance wasn't even all that easy. His technique in opening the body up so quickly was really good, the space between the keeper and the post wasn't that big and he was very close to finding it. He could have hit the target of course, but his shot was not that far away from being unsaveable.

It was only his 25th game after coming back from injury, everyone knows that he needs time to get to his best after he's injured for 3 days.

I really hope he`s off next season, would be great if he didnt manage to break sir bobbys record..

Rooney at Goodison Park with Kai.. Can they buy him from us in January?

 

[.Rossi]

Why is our club captain and apparent "inspirational leader" at Goodison Park, cheering on Everton, while we have the biggest game of our season so far tomorrow and when every other player travelled?


Sorry but, surely he can't have privileges this special

 

[Maradona10]

For a guy who has a "very heavy" Ankle injury he seems to be moving around alot. I think he has been dropped due to being pissed.

Isn't he injured? or banned for having alcohol in his system?

He's dreaming of a return... once a blue etc etc...

 

[K2K]

being at goodison today,playing in duncan ferguson's testimonial...i do think he's testing the waters for a return.

We can only hope

Wait I just realised that even Shaw has travelled with the team, and not the captain?????
What's going on?????? This makes it even worse him sitting there cheering on Everton. Gives no fecks to United does he?

Have all the injured players travelled or just Shaw?

Did Shaw travel with the team? Rooney probably needs to stay behind for treatment.

 

[Barca84]

Maybe he's not been allowed to travel?

Same as always, Wayne Rooney cares about Wayne Rooney.

Sounds like not only Shaw but I will have to check if that's correct.

 

[Still ill]

Yeah, that would be great. Fingers crossed he never gets another goal for us, eh?

 

[Jazz]

Would think Shaw would stay behind as well in that case...? Dunno. Will see if I find more info.

 

[DomesticTadpole]

I would have thought they want to keep him involved as he is out for such a long time? He must feel isolated at times. Herrera and Jones might be near to fitness so wouldn't want them travelling, make sure they are fit. Rooney don't care.

[Devil may care]

Why would any of our injured player be going to Germany?

As suggested above to keep Shaw involved....a good idea. Plus the team has a big game tomorrow, so why not I guess?

 

[.Rossi]

Irrelevant if he's not allowed travel or not. (He travelled to Goodison so clearly he can make a flight)
Manchester United captain is at a match, cheering on another team. I don't care if he's an Everton fan or not, we'd be pissing ourselves if Henderson went back to Sunderland to cheer them on or Kompany went back to Anderlecht

Rossi did any of the other injured players go?
Also agree with you on above comment.

Obvious he wants to go back to Everton. Wants his little one to see him playing in blue before he retires

Just know Shaw went.

Jones would have went but, they were worried he might damage the plane

All over social media this. Happened twice apparently.

The end is nigh folks. Reckon Bobby's record stands myself.

As if it was in any doubt

 

[clarkydaz]

Everton taking Rooney is like us getting Moyes. You've no idea what you're getting into, but we do

 

[Djemba-Djemba]

I don't want to get my hopes up but it really does look like Rooney is testing the waters for a return to Everton.

Please let that be the case.

A straight swap for lukaku sounds fair.

His shit giving towards United is at an all time low. Hope for Everton's sake that he buggers of to the MLS after this season..

There's a lot of things to bash the traitorous wage stealing club captain for, but going back to watch his childhood team isn't really one of them. Maybe he was just there to watch how an actual centre forward plays.

He's just following his kid around. Someone has to drive him.

I doubt he is not travelling away and choosing to go Goodison against the club's will. He's likely been told not to go for one reason or another

 

[Trizy]

Doesn't Rooney get caught drinking around Christmas most years? I remember it happening twice when Fergie was in charge and god only knows what he was doing when Moyes was here.

 

[Amar__]

So all those stories about our Wayne meaning so much to his teammates and van Gaal aren't really that true, considering he isn't even travelling with the team even though van Gaal said it's probably his biggest United game so far.

 

[Pexbo]

I think somethings going on.
