Well I think that 3rd goal is his fault. What in all feck was he thinking trying to 'slow it down' when he lost the ball?

Captain Flabtastic.
What a fantastic captain
I'd happily never see him play for us again.
Thanks for the memories. Stop tarnishing your legacy.

Think we would have been tonked without Rooney tonight.
Worst United captain I've seen. So passive and pointless.
Pathetic some of you lot. He actually was really good tonight and yet the comments on this page. If our players had even the slightest amount of brains and didn't concede a free kick every 90 seconds, we'd have won this.
Your definition of really good is odd. He was shit just like every other spineless bitch in a red shirt.
He was the best of a bad bunch. Atleast he looked like he gave a damn unlike around 8 other players out there. He did well in the second half and it's not his fault no one in the back four knows how to defend.
Most of his passes to the left didn't find the target.
I'll give him credit for looking like he cared, performance was still unacceptable
He was really important tonight, kept a cool head and was composed on the ball despite the atmosphere. I think we'd of got smashed without his experience tonight. Look at Schneiderlin for comparison, completely bottled it.
I think he played well tonight. He's far from good enough to be an automatic pick here of course, but he wasn't amongst those who choked tonight.
Well, we won there when he didn't play. He's mediocre, our midfield was non-existent, Wham smashed us in terms of created chances.
wumyeah, that's probably the worse of it, not even that he's lost his legs but that he's literally the worse captain in the clubs history. I don't seem him doing anything that looks encouraging, never see him take control (well apart from taking control of the ball and smashing it wide to Valencia).
Martial.
Yup that's true but the Rooney bashing is getting boring. When he deserves it, fair enough. He did really well when everyone around him was losing their composure today and also did really well for our second goal.
Showed a nice burst of pace for the first Martial goal, otherwise overhit every single pass from midfield. Sad state of a player.
He was awful, he's not a CM or #10 or whatever it is he is trying to be right now, he just doesn't have the brain or passing variety for the role. He didn't shit it? So what, neither did Martial and he's a 20 year old kid in his first season here. When your Captain and creative midfield fulcrum is as poor as he was with the same pass over and over to the point that West Ham stopped defending it, it tells you all you need to know.
Jeez, really good? It's people like you that make people say the wrong stuff. If that was really good we are bound for mid table. Good thing you are not manager. Then again LvG thinks Rooney is really good.
The whole team was very poor, he was just slightly less!
Was a different game though mate, the atmosphere was crazy tonight and I don't think we have any players that could've done a better job tonight.
He utterly lacks the nuance and intelligence to play in midfield. He lacks the ball control at no.10. He lacks the pace and sharpness at no.9, and yet I thought he played fairly well tonight, he needs to go.
One of our better players today.
Indeed, people hating because it's become the in thing to do
What an absolute joke of a performance from our captain.
I can't believe his average rating for the West Ham game is currently 4/10.
Very generous if you ask me.

I can only really think of Martial as a United player today who was not worse than him and yet Rooney is the scapegoat on here.
Possibly our 2nd or 3rd best player. But I do agree he was poor. That just goes on to show how bad we were
He did well in the buildup to our second goal, and some of his hollywood passes actually came off. But his insistence on trying that long pass to the right wing is annoying as hell. It is as if it is the only thing he knows how to do these days, and he is still not very good at them. What's even worse was the commentator on my broadcast (NBCSN) gushing over Rooney's passes as if we were watching prime Pirlo or Scholes.
Tbf it's definitely not Rooney's fault that Rojo might as well put on the other team's jersey before the game starts and yet is always the only player in space to pass to. How that cnut lasted 90 mins and Valencia got hauled off I'll never know.
Really good? I think he did certain things decently and is getting some unfair abuse (for this game only) but he is clearly not the way forward. Centre midfield is not a retirement house.
To be fair he isn't, the whole lot of useless pricks are getting slated
Why is he the scapegoat? Have you looked at the other threads?!!
Serious victim complex. On behalf of another person. It's all very strange.
he didn't go hiding to his credit, like half the team but has some howler moments for a ball player.
He was better than his midfielder partners but if I was the teams main creator I'd look to get our best players on the ball, Martial, Rashford and Mata. Rooney however seems determined to get Rojo and Valencia in the game as much as possible.
They're the last players we want on the ball in the attacking third.

I wasn't happy with Rooney's performance but I'm more concerned that Schneiderlin and Herrera (both 26) who are suppose to be at their physical peak and have played midfield for most of their careers were worse than him. Can't really say Rooney is keeping 'better midfielders' out of the team now - they're all underperforming.
He was decent, but it's simply not enough for a player on his salary. One thing you can say about him is he's at least trying to impose his will on the match, which is more than you can say for plenty of other players.
He was terrible tonight but there were much, much worse offenders.
