It's sad how much bitterness and anger there is towards a United legend on here. Guess if he'd just left like our Portugese legend, he'd still be adored on here.

Well, people would be happy to see him feck off, to be honest. :lol:

Agreed, its a worry. Hes not our best number 10, and hes not our best at leading the line. Hes been a problem for us bar a little spell in Jan rather than him being a leader bar a few games (where the latter would be more acceptable).

It is time to move him on, but I have a feeling we wont (and its probably cos of the Adidas deal where hes still seen as a superstar and shirt shifter, hence our obsession with purchasing a superstar (which will probably replace him)).
 
We're stuck with Rooney for another season but that doesn't mean we can't use him as a squad player.
 
People said Martial made Rooney look like a right dick given his age and adjusting to a new club, league etc.

Along comes Rashford to do the same. An 18 year old no one had heard of prior to last Thursday.

Defend him all you like - it's truly embarrassing and I can only hope this has been a clear indication to our club of what needs to happen with our captain.

Yeah, time to go Wayne. Your times up.
 
I'm not having a go at I'm. Think there's enough criticism of him already. But I think it's time the club thinks about moving forward without him.
 
Thought this was an interesting read:

Piers Morgan, Mail Online, 20th February:

Piers Morgan said:
My phone rang at 11pm tonight. It was England football captain Wayne Rooney.
He wanted to discuss his forthcoming Manchester United testimonial plans this summer.
But we also talked about reports in the papers this week that he’s been offered ridiculous sums of money to go and play in China for Shanghai, a team managed by Sven-Göran Eriksson.

‘It’s true,’ he said.
‘How big a salary are we talking?’
Rooney chuckled.
‘Come on,’ I prodded, ‘make me sick.’
He then revealed a figure, based on a three-year deal, so stupendously, stratospherically gigantic that it did indeed make me feel instantly nauseous. (Without giving too much away, let’s just say it included eight noughts...) I literally gasped in horror, prompting him to add a final killer blow: ‘After tax!’
‘There’s another advantage I can see,’ I said.
‘What’s that?’
‘The Chinese fans won’t realise how slow you’ve got.’
‘**** off!’

My guess is Rooney won’t leave United for another year or two. But one thing’s for sure, the Chinese are coming for world football and as with everything they do in business, they seem to have almost limitless sums of cash with which to dominate it.

I can see him considering the China move, he knows he's coming near the end of his playing career soon and this could be a big windfall to tie him over.
Hopefully Piers Morgan isn't going to play in the testimonial.
 
If we could get rid of Rooney and also score a big fee in the process it would be a great start to the summer.
 
If we got a decent offer from China for Rooney we'd be fecking mental not to at least consider it. I know he's our biggest star in a commercial sense but he's clearly past his best and for most of this season he was disgracefully bad.

Aye we can help him decide, a repeat of the first half of the season under Mourinho could see him dropped and getting 'angry and confused' real quick and instructing his agent to book him on the first flight out to Shanghai.
 
that's probably the first time someone has dared tell him he is past it. nice one Piers, seeing as our whole club are shit scared to
 
I'm slightly confused as to why he'd talk to Piers Morgan about his testimonial. I'm even more confused as to why anyone would talk to Piers Morgan about anything.
 
I can't see him wanting to go to China, even for that ridiculous salary. He's got a young family and is settled in the north west.
 
Would be delighted if he's off to China. I am not even bothered keeping myself updated on his injury or comeback date, not noticing negative effects without him in the side. Time to improve ourselves and buy some real quality.

I'd quite like to see Phil Jones 'tackle' Piers Morgan.
 
I am very happy he's out we dont miss him, hopefully he's fit once the summer transfer window opens
 
The irony is if he were fit, we might not have beaten Arsenal since "The Captain shall always play" meaning Rashford probably wouldn't have been given his chance to shine.

I'm desperate for Shaw to come back into the side, but Rooney should take all the time he needs, or preferably buy a one-way ticket to the far east :)
 
wonder if he will have to go through the 40 days and 40 nights of match rhythm all the other players have to get back in
 
He'd never go there, with a young family. Even if it is a mental offer I can't see him over there. He'll go to the MLS or try and get a move back to Everton I think.
