It's like John Terry all over again. Could do no wrong.

I wouldn't be surprised to see him still do that. He can be average in a match and then score 1-2. Especially against lower sides.
The worst 'world class' footballer in the world. Schweinsteiger was bemused with how he put his throughball to waste like the nothing footballer he is. At least he got another round of "rooney rooney" when he took it to the corner again like in the last match... need to waste some time and see some great corner shielding skills? Rooney's the man for that.
What a neanderthaler of a footballer. A disgusting disgrace.

Horrendous. I feel he's is the reason why we struggle to carve teams open. He's just there but he's neither able to play the football himself, nor make the moves to receive the ball and score goals.
It's bleak looking at our forward line.

Tbh Richards is a tank.
No, you really aren't. Watch this place.
No shame in that to be fair. He's a tank.
LVG is a very strict guy and doesn't care for big names or personal relationships.
So, at what point will LVG put Rooney on the bench?

That's comforting.
Horrific. Should head off to either the MLS or the glue factory.
I think it's hard to sign a decent striker when you can't guarantee them a place in the starting 11, If we sign anyone during this window they will be playing second fiddle to Rooney. The kind of players we have been linked with won't agree to those terms.
What do you mean?
Laughing at the assist on the stats on here
Souness dared to suggest that Rooney was poor. Immediately the presenter was on his case with "Rooney was poor or the way United set up was poor????!!".
30 in October. Looked about 36 out there tonight.
I'd give him a zero for that. Nothing worked for him.
Was terrible tonight.
Not really
Seriously disgraceful performance from the club captain and highest earner. Need a new striker for sure..
Go out and spend I don't care how much and bring an actually dangerous striker into the club please Ed.
I know he didn't have a great deal of support tonight but he just couldn't stay upfront. His dropping into midfield all night was one of the main reasons they were able to press us so well at the start of each half. Their defenders could push right up knowing Wayne wasn't going to be running in behind them.

An absolutely horrific performance...
I'm right here.
I don't understand the consternation about Rooney. He needs service.
I think he's just obeying his strict tactical instructions, and that looks wrong to you lot.
But time will tell.
I thought it was the Villa fans chanting Rudy, Rudy?
Not sure how people can Carry on defending Wayne. We give him every chance and he has been in a massive slump for almost a year. Fergie saw this coming but unfortunately we've not given him strong young competition so far.
not at all. just saying hes not a ST imo. He will improve as the season goes on but in the big games, he will get dominated by CBs like Komapny if hes played as the lone striker.
Come on guys. Second game of the season, in a role he hasn't played consistently since 2010. He's always been a supporting striker 2011+. Give him time, he'll lead the line again and get his touch back after a couple of games.
We could get a "potential" type player with no bother I reckon. Berahino would be the obvious choice.
He might not get 20 goals this season but he'll get the golden boot for offsides.
Rooney has been below par for a while. We need a striker even more than Arsenal.
Horrifying performance. Been saying it for a while; unless he scores goals he is absolutely useless. Even when he does, that doesn't stop him from ruining half our attacks and the goals just help to cover the rest of his horrible game.
Even when it comes to headers, there is just so little effort to win the ball.
Another really poor pass. It's not just that he can't get into the game and get on the ball, it's also that once he has it he's terrible with it! We really should invest in a top striker and bench him if necessary
We just might sign another striker if his performances continue.
Sir Alex fell out with lots of players, but its amazing how he always fell out mostly with those he knew were past it for him..Other than Stam, most were justified years later..This is another, we should have done that years ago imo..I dont think Rooney is a bad player..but we are too big and ambitious as a club to accept this kind of perfomances..LVG seems ruthless enough, at the end of this season , he may need to show that, or it could be him that may out of job
He was shocking tonight. The problem for us is that even if we sign someone better we'll just play Rooney as an attacking midfielder anyway. He's undroppable, unfortunately.
The Sun Dream Team has just given Rooney Star man!
Feck me he was shit today. On days like this you can just sub him off after 20 minutes, because you just know he is in his pub player mode and won't do anything of note. van Gaal won't drop him already, but I am sure it will happen it he continues like that. It's a shame that we haven't really someone on the bench who can put pressure on him or take his place.
I have no problems with strikers scoring tap-ins.
If he can get 30 (league) tap-ins a season, I'd rate him as one of the best in the league.
But the problem is, he isn't getting into a position where he can score tap-ins.
Wanted Chicharito to replace him at half time, but wasn't sure if he was on the bench.
