Just a yard of ale in his system now.
Are there actually millions of fans in Asia who still think Rooney is this mythical world-class player?
I've always thought like this also. I started noticing his decline in the latest stages of Ferguson and wanted him out.
We hired Moyes, Moyes even sued him and I thought surely he'd sell Rooney and find a fresh player in stead. No he made him the highest paid in all the land, and on a new five year contract.
Then we hired van Gaal. A man notorious for dropping big egos and falling stars. He makes him captain, with the special privliges of a van Gaal captain.
I'm afraid of what the next manager does. It's this invisible power he seems to possess, if a new manager comes in and continues playing him I will give up hope of us improving to a real force again while he's here. This player, without any excelling traits as a footballer anymore, is performing at such a low level we surely can not keep this up.
And I see so many comments saying he can't be at fault because the whole team is under par, that doesn't really apply when he can't even keep pace with the Norwich defence. His physical state is beyond repair, the lack of pace is just so obvious.
Wynae Runny sure player GGMU!!!!

Yes, his play has regressed like his hairline.
Giving him that assist is a bit generous.
The only one in the squad who can play a striker is shifted to the wings to accommodate this player. Great tactics Van Gall!
Neville voluntarily quit when he knew he couldn't contribute to the club. Scholes did the same. Lets see if Rooney is a true legend or a selfish shit.

Indeed, this is criminal.
Theres a reason Fergie wanted him out. I think in the Moyes season he padded his stats but didnt do much IMO to lead the team. Him being a captain is a problem, cos it means LVG will keep on playing him, and of course, I dont think hes captain material. Because of the former, we play people out of position which hurts the team.
He also ruins our attacks cos hes not good with the 1-2s and hes not quick enough to get onto through balls.

Look at the two goals Norwich scored - would Wayne Rooney have had the pace and strength to score either?
The number of times we go on good breaks and work openings only for players like Mata and Rooney to completely grind the move to a halt through lack of pace is what causes most of our attacking problems

China beckons!
Still can't understand why Rooney was allowed to play the whole match.
He should carry a plant wherever he goes. What a waste of oxygen.

sale him now
Is he even good enough for the MLS?
we would be better off playing 10 men instead of starting him every game.
Absolutely dire, as per.
Well, sounds like he performed as expected again, who did lvg take off for Powell this time?
Powell who scored a couple of goals during the week for the reserves wasn't on the bench, which left us with no strikers on there.
he's been well off the pace all season, so it was always going to be an ask to come in and do well when he's probably only 60% fit.
He's waiting for LVG to get sacked so we can start all over with the trying him all over the pitch while making excuses for him.
He must be the worst striker in the league currently. I mean I'd even choose Eder over him.
I'm genuinely sick of him. He doesn't deserve to play for Manchester United. It's almost inevitable that he'll mess up every second thing he does. Please just get rid of him.
Right up there. Most strikers in the PL are at least physically up to the task. Rooney plays like a 50 year old.
Fvcking pathetic display. Sick of the sight of him
Definitely.
How can we demand performances from other players when the captain plays like he does.
He's a disgrace. There i said it. Touch of a trampolin. It won't surprise me if he was busy shouting at his team mates in the dressing room at full time. Hopefully they told him to feck off.

I won't be surprised if he's a United player next season.
would be interesting to know Rooney's thoughts.
On the one hand, he's got a manager who overrates his importance, and must always play for.
Yet it's a style of football that does nothing at all for attackers.

100% odds on.
Renewed enthusiasm of him making history and breaking the record, in the summer. Sigh.
Partly because Rooney is the main man among them.
This kept running through my mind as well. I mean look at Cameron Jerome today, he's a decent forward in the championship but is only just about good enough for the top flight. Yet you compare his performance to Rooney's and he looks twice as good as our captain. Just because he can run a bit and show some strength and generally control the ball with one touch.
The other thing I was thinking is that when Rooney gets the ball all I'm hoping is that he controls it and passes to the nearest red shirt. That's it. Not that he beats a man, or tests the keeper or creates a good chance for someone. I no longer have any expectation that he will do anything positive and I'm just thankful when he manages not to kill the attack.
We're not a serious club so it won't surprise me if we keep a player on 300k a week just to score 10 more goals.
Depends on who's in charge, Moyes brown nosed him from day one and LVG made him the undroppable captain. There aren't a lot of manager who can walk into a club and strip the captaincy from his highest earner, Fergie was the only person to have managed him who had the balls to get rid of him.
If he was even half decent, that pass from Mata in the first half, would have resulted in a one on one. He's a thief.
The worst striker in the league by a country mile.
