This is so true and it's scary because it's looking likely that we will go the Ryan Giggs road. We really need to make carefully thought out decisions from this point on because, if we feck up, we are done as a top side. We should also be making decisions like a top club and a top club doesn't accept the shit that's been served up by Rooney and Van Gaal, time for Woodward to man up or ship out.
am honestly baffled to see that he keeps getting starts despite not even close to looking good enough for a (should be) top 4 team.
is everyone in the club seeing things that we don't see? is he playing like lionel messi every day in training? I don't get van gaal's insistence on playing him every match possible despite not showing that he's good enough. while others get temporarily axed for making 1 mistake or not having 1 good game. (or in hernandez's case, permanently - if the reports are to be believed)
he's the captain and the captain has to keep playing? well, that didn't stop van gaal from kicking out van bommel when he was at bayern. even if that didn't happen, it's not an excuse to keep playing him if he's performing poorly.

How is his average rating 5.1? He's been our worst player this season, and this season has been poor.
He needs to go every bit as much as LvG does, he's stealing a wage.
played full 90 minutes coming back from injury/match fitness, wouldn't happen with any other player. As much as I feel bad for LVG stuff like this justifies the shit he is getting
Unless his hands are forced, which is just as worrying.
Exactly, yet another screw up supposing Rooney actually was injured it's not the best idea is it.
The idea that it's orders from above is beginning to seem plausible but then I thought LVG is this badass that takes no shit from anyone, what's happening here?
Cost us the second goal. He's given the ball away and initiated counterattacks all season. He needs to get out.
He used to lose the ball a lot in the past as well, but then he would work his socks off getting down the pitch to win the ball back again, which he often managed because of pace and sheer determination. Now, he just stops and looks up into the air.
This is probably bullshit but I remember hearing that when he signed his new contract shortly after Moyes took over, there were clauses stating he'd play every match when fit and get the captaincy after Vidic.
Cast your minds back to early 2014. The media were running (no doubt well briefed) stories about how United had played the Mata transfer so coolly, conducting all communications with Chelsea solely in writing so as to avoid getting dragged into counter-negotiations about Rooney. The post-Fergie era reads like a black comedy at times.
I hoped a few weeks out would do him good but he's still useless. Surely he has a decent run of form left him before the end of the season to help us out a little bit. If his second half of the season matched the first it would be one of the worst seasons by a so-called top player I can ever remember.
The one I remember was that he was to have a say in transfers. I took it as BS at the time. Can't believe the club will descend that low.
I've been backing him for most of the season but enough is enough now, time to get rid of him.
that can't be right.
otherwise our club is much more of a mess than we thought if we're leaving those kinds of decisions to 1 player.
rooney supporters gleefully marked that delightful assist down as another poisonous arrow to add to their bows of dark arts when the time comes.
Unfortunately it won't, no surge of form will come this time, he is truly past it.

Can we still reply to their original bid of £20 million in the Summer of 2013? Maybe the original fax is still lying around somewhere.
You want to laugh it off. But considering the ineptitude of Moyes, coupled with the fact that Rooney actually does seem to have played every match under LVG when fit, and you do have to wonder....
That's why I mentioned it. I want to believe there's no way it can be true, but considering the way the club has been run since SAF retired, you never know...
If I was LVG and I lost my job this season, I would absolutely berate the club for putting such a clause in Rooney's contract (if they actually have). It really has been a big factor in why LVG might be about to be sacked.
Great post , I hope the board shares your views. We need a DOF and a top manager asap. Woodward needs help.
I wish I knew what was going on with the board because our inadequacies are staring us in the face now.
So RVP had to play with the U21s but Rooney gets a full 90 mins . Our club is a joke
I refuse to believe a club like mufc would put a clause like that in a players contract.
I'm just too tired to even complain about him anymore. He's done.
He just makes it up as he goes along tbh. Different rules for different players, new rules when it suits him, relaxing rules for some when he fancies its.
Theres no logic in any of his decisions. And his loyalty to Rooney just epitomises it all.
Never has one player seemingly held so much power at Old Trafford, as Wayne Rooney currently does now. Not Keane, not Beckham, not Van Nistelrooy. When they all fecked up, they were kicked out. Rooney, however, seems to be allowed to get away with anything he fancies. Its a joke.

Article from when Rooney signed his latest contract in 2014. Here's something that caught my eye:
As we know, Rooney was appointed captain the following season, after Vidic left. The transfer consultation part is interesting though- this is very "tinfoil" but I wonder if there's any link between that and the fact that all the competition he had for his position has been sold.

Moyes proper fecked us over on this one
He's a future club ambassador, he will do what he wants
He's a future club ambassador, he will do what he wants
He'll end up as Giggs' managerial successor at this rate
I'm not a fan of Rooney, but I think the 'degree of consultation' doesn't add up. How would they even quantify that? I think it's bollocks personally. And it's ludicrous a club of our stature would promise such a thing to a player.
Maybe he only gave his consent to the Martial deal as he'd never heard of him and presumed he'd be shite and no threat to his position.
agree.
360 degrees. I agree.
360 degrees of consultation.
Send him off to China.
I had the same thought.
