such a stupid question.Also "What have you done with the match ball?"
"Uh, nothing yet it's still in the dressing room"
The fickle nature of this thread over the years is truly embarrassing.
I don't think anyone will be or should be bar the kneejerkers. He will be judged on his performances against PL opposition.
The negativity - or "caution", as some like to call it - is bloody ridiculous in here. It's only the 9th hat-trick in his career and you lot can't even take a moment to savour it. In their entire league careers here van Nistelrooy managed 5, Cole, Solskjaer and Yorke managed 3, Scholes managed 2...I don't know their overall records but that's besides the point, really. The point is it's such a rare thing and all you can think about is ways to dismiss and downplay it. That's sad.
Hopefully he gets to play with a player who won't be losing the ball every other touch in behind him.
Unfortunately couldn't watch the game, but delighted for him!
Played like a 9, and did not drop too deep and scored goals, more of the same please from now on.
Feck the haters!
He had a good game and this should do wonders for his confidence. Although the service was much better, the credit goes to him for his finishing and positioning. He also found Memphis with a good pass who should have done better.
Let's hope he can kick on from here. The team needs it as much as he personally does.

that was more like it.
hope this form transpires into the league and his confidence with it too.

Regardless of the early form he's going to have a record breaking season this season
England all time record goal scorer
Man Utd all time record goal scorer in Europe
Man Utd all time record goal scorer period
Will break into the top 10 record appearances for Man Utd

Exactly, all the over the top praise is funny on here, currently bruge are 5th in their very poor league, on top of that they were playing without 8 of their first XI players, so.....
And yet, players like januzaj, Carrick didn't do much. He played well, scored a hat trick. Just enjoy it.
Oh right. But when Memphis had a great game against them on his debut last week and was getting all that praise you didnt point that out did you?
Grand. Now bring the goals to the league.
Brugge were absolutely awful though, so I've got not real OTT Praise for any of our players tonight. That's probably the easiest hat trick he's had other than the set-piece affair against Arsenal.

Took all the 3 goals well and played with some actual energy tonight, need to see it in a few games in the PL before phoenix style poetry is written. .
Depay hasn't proven himself in the league (he's been a bit shit tbh)...and Rooney has it all to prove as well. I'm not sure what your point is?
Not going to get involved with the 'feck the haters' or 'still not convinced' argument. Just going to say that I'm pleased he got some goals, and hopefully he can put a good run together now and score more.
Wayne Rooney has a lot less to prove in the Premier League than Memphis Depay.
It's just the usual United fan crap about Rooney. Any other player in the team scores a hat trick and the response is 100% positive. Rooney does it and it's all 'well, Brugge are shit aren't they?'
No Rooney has been shit for months and he has scored a hattrick against brugge. Jury is still out obviously. Don't know what your hypothetical's are about?
Edit - Removed the mean parts!
This.
I literally have no idea what you're trying to say here.
This forum wouldn't respond to any other player in the team scoring a hat trick tonight with a churlish 'well, Brugge are rubbish anyway, it means nothing.'
Basically what I'm saying is that Rooney's poor performance in the league shouldn't be dismissed because of a crappy tie against Club Brugge.
No-one's dismissing it. This performance doesn't erase the poor ones, but nor does it somehow 'not count'.
My opinion is that the Brugge Hattrick should be dismissed and he should be judged on his league performances. I mean Brugge are shit....
I've been slamming him for a long time now, but a good game from him. Hope he carries it into the league.
He's always been a notoriously slow starter. I was starting to wonder if he was ever going to get it back. But yup a hattrick is a good way to jump start the system, Brugge or no. Let's hope he's finally back in the groove.
Our back-ups strikers are worrying though.

I've defended Rooney, and I'm not surprised by his goals.
Give him the service and the chances, and he will put them away.

sure, brugge had lots of key players out for the tie and they were poor, but hat trick is a hat trick, rooney obviously still had to move into goal scoring positions and finish the chances in front of him.
personally I am not saying today's performance absolves rooney of all the past poor performances he gave this year in the league (yet) but let's hold the horses and wait until he plays more league games to draw conclusions about his performance against brugge before dismissing his long-waited goalscoring performance as a one off or purely down to poor oposition.
It was about time. Rooney and Memphis are developing a great understanding. I think that is why LVG did not substitute them to get that engine running. The more games they play together, the more goals we shall see from both of them.
Yes, Brugge is shit. But as others have mentioned, a hat trick is a hat trick and hopefully Rooney can kick off from here. We've played plenty of shitty teams in the past year and have still looked like shit. We looked amazing yesterday and our captain had his first great game in a while, let's celebrate the win ffs!
It was only Club Brugge - so his goals don't count. Neither do Memphis or Fellaini last week especially since those were at home. Herrera's performance today was meaningless as was Smalling's or anyone else for that matter.
Um yes they count in what was a crucial game for our season.

I would hate to be a Rooney hater.
It may be my imagination, but to me, it looked like that first goal really changed him for the better. Looked nothing like the player we saw the first four games
Lets just hope this keeps up. We really need Rooney in form

Wayne Rooney, world class player!
Some people are now saying "It was only Brugge".
Last week they were getting orgasmic about Memphis scoring against them

If he'll score on Sunday maybe it will be cause Swansea was shit on the night.
It's hard for some to give him praise it seems.
