I'd say if things continue then he'll be behind Vardy, Kane, and Sterling come the summer. Unless Roy is the same sort of gutless manager LVG is and sticks with Rooney based on the player he used to be.

FYI Rooney: 6
but he's mega off the pitch!
LVG put all his eggs in the Rooney basket and it'll probably cost him his job.
Just saw this on Reddit:
Nah life ain't that fair
Please happen.
Just saw this on Reddit:
And Charlie Austin has scored more than both.

Would solve alot of things, but doubt Rooney would be that generous as to let us off the ridiculous contract we got him to sign, plus if he goes there he can kiss his England carrier goodbye, and any chance of breaking Sir Bobby's scoring record.
If Rooney has anything left in the tank, he better show it this afternoon. With a new manager pending, today could be a huge game for him.
Am I alone in thinking Rooney is playing poorly due to poor tactics?
He doesn't seem to be struggling at international level.

He does, got the record over the line with a pen, and in those couple games he was poor. Kane came on as a sub and showed him up
He can't control the ball half of the time, mate, how can that be because of the tactics?
Our tactics are shit but he's shitter.
Doesn't take much to score against San Marino et al.
He is really
His last performances for England have been poor and masked by penalties
The best I've seen Rooney play for a while was when he came on against Stoke..... lacked quality but seemed to have fire in his belly again
I hope to see snarling, angry Rooney later - his future is as much on the line as Van Gaal - apart from his massive contract of course
Well I guess we will only know for certain when a new manager comes in and changes the way we play.
Wow. Go for it Wayne.... don't pass up all that nice money..........
Football365: Wayne Rooney is ‘simply dispirited’
Wayne Rooney’s self-confidence is at its lowest ebb after being ‘dragged down to a level of under-performance never seen before’, according to the Daily Mail.
The newspaper’s Manchester United correspondent Ian Ladyman is clearly keen to absolve Rooney of any blame for a disastrous run of form which has seen him fail to score in the Premier League since October 17.
He played 90 minutes as a striker against Norwich on December 19 but failed to register a single shot on target; he was subsequently dropped for Boxing Day’s trip to Stoke.
Any suggestion that the 30-year-old Rooney is in decline has apparently been dismissed from within Old Trafford, with the Mail claiming: ‘It is merely a matter of mental fatigue. Rooney is, according to some of those who share a dressing room with him, simply dispirited.’
Rooney is expected to be restored to the starting line-up against Chelsea, when defeat could signal the end of Louis van Gaal’s reign.

To be fair, it could well be.
Unfortunately it's gone on so long that it's the same result at the end - he'll have to go.
Man Utd 0:0 Chelsea
He's started well. More of this please. His movement has been great.
Herrera buzzing around as a 10 has brought 18 minutes of life into him so far.
He's been as poor for England with Woy even saying his place isn't guaranteed. Has looked lively today though
Much better from him so far, glad to see it.
Solid so far.
Best game so far this season by a mile even without goals or assists. Touch is good, passing good, movement is there too. Efforts at goal with conviction.
Let's see if it lasts.
Let's see if it lasts.
Having a very good game.
Looks like an actual footballer for a change
Been decent.
Yup, been good.
Very good half.
That's more like it.
Much better. If he plays like that.. he's good enough to merit a place in a premier league side.
Good half from him, finally.
Better from him today but we still need more goal threat from our centre forward.
A lot better from Rooney today. Hope it continues. Would love him to score.
if he scores, the confidence will be back. The fact we are faster getting the ball last third has helped overall. Still need to be quicker.
I thought he did alright on Saturday too. Sometimes he needs to be reminded that he has to work for his place.
