It looks like Football Manager has managed to accurately simulate the real-life Rooney.
So Rooney ends 2015 with:
5 PL Goals from open play
1 PL Assist
2841mins in the PL
1 Goal every 568mins
1 Assist every 2841mins
1 Goal+Assist every 474mins
Oh dear.

That is a huge if with Welbeck especially, but to a fair extent Walcock.

Goes hand in hand with this current United.
Herrera and Mata have better figures. As does Martial who has only played half a season.
And people laffed when some said he might not get 20 goals this season.So Rooney ends 2015 with:

Kinell!, basically £1million a goal, we're going to shit and the board doesn't seem to mind.
I am assuming that assist is against Norwich when he tried to head the ball but he only managed to touch it a little? 
Also there is at least one goal he knew nothing about among those 5 he scored this year when Martial hit him with the ball and it went in...

A quick check shows Raul scored 18 league goals, 24 overall and played well to help Madrid win the league that season.
Yep hence my last sentence. Aragones was slaughtered for the decision in the media but it proved to be the right one in the end. Can Hodgson take a similar gamble and leave Rooney behind?
Of course not. England managers are not really managers. They are mostly some kind of face of FA or something. They will keep the players of high profile and generally dont care much about what happens next.

He's genuinely pathetic.
The numbers back up with the eyes see: Rooney has been dire for at least 12 months, and the truth is that's he's been in serious decline for three seasons.
But the masses want to watch Rooney, either in anticipation of an outstanding performance or out of some kind of morbid fascination with dreadful football. Either way, he's our "name" player and attracts attention. And thus, cash.
I don't want to start a new thread with this question -- as we have enough Rooney threads and Van Gaal threads already -- but if I could wave a magic wand and get rid of Rooney or Van Gaal it's an easy call: Rooney.
I'm curious what the result of that poll question here would be.

Some still harbour belief that it's van gaal that is at fault for Rooney's performances and that once a new manager comes the shackles will be off and a monster will be unleashed. Lewlzies.
How does Rooney's current form compare to Torres at Chelsea?
There is no comparison, Torres had a better all-around game, he was completely unable to score but he wasn't a liability in the build-up.
According to whoscored:
Torres in his last season at Chelsea: 5 goals and 5 assists in EPL in 1572 mins, that is, Torres contributed a league goal every 157 mins.
Rooney has scored/assisted 3 league goals this season in 1275 min, that is, every 425 mins.
Some might think that Rooney's stats are down to LVG's tactics. But last season Falcao had similar stats to Torres: Falcao scored/assist 8 league goals in 1300 mins, that is, every 163 mins.
He also wasn't an "undroppable captain"
He's the football version of self harming.
so stats say he has been worse than Falcao, who didn't start every game
The fact that our midfielders who have at some point been out of the team are getting better numbers than him, shows it's not the tactics or Van Gaal.
Just point him in the direction of a tree with a tyre swing and release him into the wild!
Yeah,he was rubbish all of 2016 too. I signed Lukaku in September 2015 and he scores for fun, so Rooney was only ever a squad cover player. Made no impact at all that season or the next. Its amazing to also get him off the wage bill - can get 2 quality players in for his salary.
One of the key reasons I like Football Manager is that it shows you how things will most likely map out in the future. Rooney is massively in decline and offers less and less as the months go by. We should move him on asap as we are just delaying the inevitable. Or he should accept a squad rotation role: the team cannot depend on him at all, but that should also be on a significantly reduced salary. Moyes really screwed us with that contract.
Our players are looking to him for inspiration. We are doomed
Smalling is brainless. Have they not seen him play and the irrefutable stats? Rooney is a nothing player and has been for a while.
No wonder we have stunk if they are waiting for Wayne to happen.
That explains why we've been shit in attack for so long.
His supporters are very quiet now because they used to be able to trot out the statistics to tell everyone he still contributes alot. It's all gone now though, ka-shush, snuffed out.
Look at those horrendous statistics in the past three pages. Absolutely horrifying. It resembles us under LvG: play like utter shit but still somehow flatter to deceive. Then december comes and we have been exposed. Rooney symbolizes United and his career is almost done.

So Smalling saying that makes him brainless? Christ man. You don't expect him to say anything else do you?
