Some will say he's played better again today but for me, it's just a lowering of standards.

He offers so little as a striker (his job is to score goals) and he never looks a threat. It's a blunt forward line. We have to batter the ball over the line to score because Rooney offers zero finesse.

Agreed. OR Martial has to richochet it off his knee again.
 
His runs he makes and the timing of them are absolutely horrible. when we were countering with BFS he ran in a straight line offering nothing, and then when Mata had the chance he was standing miles offside. So frustrating!

I wish he would stop standing upfront with his back to the goal also, he's so easy to mark these days it's like night and day to when he was younger
 
That was a fantastic goal to be fair. Fingers crossed for a better 2016..
 
Could that be a turning point?

Probably not but it was a superb finish!
 
Fair play to him for that finish. We needed it and he stepped up. Thanks. Hope it's the start of a revival (for United's sake, not his). Fear it's just the dragging out of the end though. Even a broken clock tells the time right twice a day.

Unfortunately we've been here before.

Fine finish for sure (where the hell that's been all season I'll never know). However it would seem likely to be an anomaly. Could have easily bounced over the bar on the another attempt. Least he's scored a goal though - it is his job.
 


Er Young or Martial?

More delusional media arselicking of Rooney. It really is getting old. He has just about been acceptable today and scored am admittedly tidy finish from two yards out so therefore he must have been our best player, he is back, uniteds saviour blah blah blah.
 
In my opinion (hope I'm wrong) Rooney is past it.We may still get some sublime pieces of skill from him but he's just not consistent enough anymore.He looks like a guy who's played too much football to me.
Jaded.
 
Great goal but it doesn't change anything. I'd like see him actually put in a great performance once like an aguero does, or rvp used to.
 
Thought he was having a bad game myself. Usual poor touches but he was at least trying to shoot at goal. Wasted several attacks with poor passes or touches. Having said that, he reacted well to the equaliser and that was a terrific goal. Hope it shakes him up a bit.
 
He was pretty good

A 7/10 I would give him the same today
He was just about passable against Chelsea. He had a bright opening with a couple of layoffs and eventually missed a great chance.

He needs to have a few top class peformances before anyone can claim he's back. United's "main man" can't be a bloke no one remembers last having a brilliant game.

Smalling, for example, has had many quality performances this season.
 
Good game by Rooney. Just like some people in England are delusional and overrate him, some in here are too emotional and hate him too much to acknowledge he had a decent game. It's far from the Rooney of old, but he's strung two decent games together. You take what you can get.
 
:lol: Some of the mealy mouthed praise he's been getting today! So many posters on the Caf are every bit as biased as the pundits they complain about.
 
Come on lads, he scored a nice goal. He is still not good enough and his age will just be more telling next season. We need to ship him.
 
Martial was our best player, Rooney was good , excellent goal to win us the game, lets hope he can build on this.
 
7/7.5 today. We should really have scored a couple more than we did today and that has a lot to do with us looking like we had 11 on the pitch.
 
6/10 at best because he was on the winning side. The goal aside he was pretty average like most of the team.

United fans need to go get DVDs of seasons reviews of the past and remind themselves of what a good performances look like. Our standards are so low these days.
 
Finally a good game from him again. He looked quite different today from the go. Was aggressive and chasing the opposition just the final ball and finishing touch he was his usual self but he didn't let up and rewarded himself in the second half with that great finish. That's the kind of attitude we need from our captain.
 
To be honest I think it was his best performance of the season. He actually added to the team apart from his goal which is a huge difference. I can geniunely say he was one of our top 3 players today.
 
The media will have the lube out tonight! He was solid, 2 or 3 decent lay-offs and took his goal well.
