Can't see him taking Sir Bobby's record this season now, and who knows what will happen with him in the summer? This purple patch he's just gone through may well have been his chance. Shame.

Has to be a chance he'll be sold in the summer.
My hope that he'll not break Sir Bobby's record might come true just yet.

We had this bout of optimism the last time he was injured. We played fecking shite. Martial is still better on the left as far as I'm concerned.
Another ready made excuse for Wayne to use for when he inevitably stinks up the Euro's. Cannot wait to see the back of him.
Depay
Its a blessing, but wanted him to break the record this season so he can be moved on in the summer, no chance of him leaving without breaking it.
Anyway now we get to see the team play which is not solely focused on Rooney

Januzaj & Memphis on the left.
Martial up top.
I'd like to see Herrera back in the team as part of a midfield 3 too.

Out for 2 months
What form? He's been pretty consistently shit for like a year now.
By getting back on form I mean playing less shit than usual. You have to admit he's got a decent record in 2016.
-----------------Martial---------------
Memphis--------Mata--------Januzaj
Might be interesting. Obviously there's zero chance of this though. It'll be Mata and Lingard or something on the flanks....

It was a purple patch He was back to his normal self right after that. We were probably going to have to wait another 12 months for that anyways.
His last run of form was actually around the same time last season - for about 6 weeks through the end of November and December 2014.
Knee ligament injuries usually feck up a player's mobility. Imagine a more immobile Rooney leading our line next season?
i cant imagine any clubs taking a risk on a nearly 31 year old, and already slowing, Rooney coming back from a serious knee injury on £250k a week.
Best we can hope is that we sign his replacement and he's phased out.
Or China. Come on China.

United won't miss Rooney a lot, we were sinking already with him in the team. He wasn't really back anyway (he had only 2 really good games vs Newcastle and Stoke, the rest were average/poor performances). Before he regained some form, we were 9 points off Leicester and 5 points off Spurs. Now, we are 12 points off Leicester and 10 points off Spurs. In other words, his recent form didn't make any real difference in the league. We won't be better without him because LVG, as he himself admitted, put all his money on Rooney and didn't buy any experienced striker. I'm not sure that Martial can play well so many games without being rested. Smalling must be in the red zone, too. Won't be pretty. It was incredibly stupid to think that we can compete only with one experienced striker all season (all the more considering his shit form from the last months of last season) and with such a small squad. LVG is crazy.
No, it's just a decent record in January. A broken clock is correct twice a day.
It's really difficult to be less mobile and play as a forward in premierleague.
That is a major ass, as ideally he'd whip through that, and it would free him up to make a move elsewhere if agreed with any new manager wanting to go in a different direction.
You don't leave Man Utd 5/6 goals short of an all time record however much dough is being offered elsewhere
A shame he's injured. Such a crucial time too. Guess we'll Martial up top now, with Pereira, Januzaj or Depay on the left. Although I'd like to see Martial continue on the left, with Will Keane up top.
That should be the end of him as the main man at United. A top class striker is a priority in the summer, with Martial/Rooney being second choice.
I'd love someone like Cavani. He's a perfect Mourinho type striker as well.

nobody at the club has the balls to call time on him.
LvG would still give him a game if he had to use a mobility scooter.
Brave Wayne sacrificed himself so that we might live.
Ah! Let's give a stand to Sir Wayne Rooney The Brave!Brave Wayne sacrificed himself so that we might live.
Because he's the hero MUFC deserves, but not the one it needs right now, so we'll hate him.
Because he can take it, because he's not a hero. He's a silent guardian,
a watchful protector,
a Dark Knight,
a White Pele.

Brilliant.
"Who wants to see a magic trick? I'm going to make our Champions League hopes...disappear!"
Bravo!
Will Keane up top for me.Martial needs to stay where he is.Memphis is useless on the left for us for the time being.
Martial working well outwide, its the only part of the attack that is, let's keep him there.
Let's try a few different set ups
-----------------Memphis------------------
Martial---------Mata---------Januzaj
-----------------Memphis------------------
Martial--------Pereira-------Januzaj
-------------------Januzaj------------------
Martial----------Mata---------Wilson*
-------------------Januzaj------------------
Martial--------Pereira--------Wilson*
* obviously would need to bring him back
Lingard and Keane as back up (+ Pereira and Memphis depending on set up)
Bravely bold Sir Wayne
Rode forth from Old Trafford
He was not afraid to lose
Oh, brave Sir Wayne
He was not at all afraid
To be beaten by Sunderland
Brave, brave, brave, brave Sir Wayne

I was half asleep but when MOTD did their bit at the end about the morning papers there was something about Rooney maybe needing an operation on his knee.
He rushes back after a month, he'll do the same injury again but possibly worse. His ligaments have got to be 110% before he starts any physical training.
He's not really injured - he's so depressed by his alcoholism that he started drinking again due to depression over his drinking.
Funny you mention that, Carl Frampton said he was "half juiced" in his post-fight press conference from last night too...
(11 mins 5 seconds)
He's allowed to have a drink, of course. It's not like he had a game to play the next day given his condition.
