I've already said it's too soon to judge, not sure why you ignore this, shall we also sack Louis van Gaal and sign Monk? Monk has beaten him 3 times now. And what about Diego Costa, does he look past it? Yesterday he did nothing other than complain to the ref all game. Or what about Harry Kane?

Cheer up, if his £300k a week contract is accurate (and it's unlikely that it's way off) then he's only going to earn another 60 million in wages before his contract expires.
Yes Rooney we know what you are.
Yeah fair enough. It's just deflating seeing him play like and I can never understand how any could possibly derive happiness from that (not saying that there aren't such fans).
Terrible, again. There's not much more to say. A good performance against Brugge doesn't mean much as we have also seen with Memphis. They both have it all to prove in the league.
Gave the ball away poorly, they went up the other end and scored. The turning point of the game. Of course Tyler and Smith say nothing because the narrative is that Rooney's form is all down to Van Gaal's tactics.
I find it hard to criticise Memphis too much. He's just 21. Our fault in leaving our attack so bare and having to rely on a 21 year old kid and a 29 year old/50 year old striker.
Can't we go to the consumer court or something like that? If you sign a contract with someone to build a wall and the wall is shit you're entitled for a refund. We're bound to have some clause.
Moyes left us with golden handcuffs.
Just when you think of how much wrong David Moyes did in his time at United..
Ridiculous
He's very much the reason we lost today, he missed 3 chances that a striker of any quality would scored, for swanseas second goal it was his careless pass (which was an easy pass to make) that started their counter attack.
His decline has been obvious for years at this stage. The decision to extend his contract a couple of years ago was a terrible footballing blunder.Big gamble from LVG to pin his no 9 hopes to him. It ain't gonna work.
Indeed. He's 21 but there's no denying that he's been dreadful in the league. I can only remember one or two good things he has done so far in all 4 games. His potential is clear but the execution has been very underwhelming so far. As you said, it is ridiculous that we are relying on him as a starter, rather than easing him in alongside an established attack force.
Only way it will happen is if we pay him to leave or somehow find a United mad owner in China or one of the Gulf states that is willing to take one for the team. MLS won't be an option unless we pay a lot of his salary.
Just drop him...
He is treated and paid like a Ronaldo or a Messi and I don't even know the last time he scored a league goal. He is meant to be the difference maker but he's not even getting a shot away.
That fecking pass today cost us the game .
That fecking pass today cost us the game .
Never gonna happen.
People saying he's not getting the service is rubbish. Had a few good chances today that top players would put away. He had two 1on1's today and decided not to shoot. Same thing happened against Spurs when he didn't shoot (luckily Walker bundled it in). He's just not good enough. He can't hold the ball up when we need to go long also. He hardly runs and makes movements. I just can't stress enough how much difference a striker like Kane would make. He's strong and powerful in the air, has great movement and will work his socks off.
He'll score a couple against San Marino and all will be forgotten
Moyes is partially fault as Woody the fecking idiot went along with the idea. Just wondering what sort deal would he get now if we were negotiating a new deal.
Personally I expected this. A kid from the Dutch league will take time to become a proper force in the premier league.
Is there any way we could convince him to go to Everton?
Not even England's best striker, what a horrible position we're in because of that contract. No club would be interested in signing him short of us giving him away, even then they'd probably go nowhere near him with his wages.
Was Van Persie this bad last season?
£300k until 2019. Insane
The first task would be to convince Everton to shell out half his wages, let alone the entire sum.
We don't really have any option!
Anyway, back on topic: Feck off Rooney, I don't know what's wrong with you but I don't want to wait around to find out. We need anther striker in the next two days.
I think it was for the first goal. We were cruising at that point I was thinking at the time just how good we were actually playing, even with him being naff. He gave the ball away so cheaply today, as with his other games, it really boggles the mind how the ver basics of basic football has eluded him. This looks terminal.
He should be sold this season istead of RVP...
Do you think Everton would take him if we paid part of his wages?
But at least he'll have enough games to break Bobby's record......
Settle down. Strikers always look poor in LVG's system if they don't score. LVG used to boast that Gomez would only touch the ball 15 times in a games at Bayern Munich, granted that he scored goals. It is no coincidence that RVP looked poor in the system last year. Our strikers need better service.
He and his agent have played it out brilliantly with his contract. No way was Moyes going to cause trouble with Rooney, the commercial face of United, in his first year.
Whatever makes you feel better. Rooney had 5 clear cut chances today and didn't get 1 shot on target.
Straight swap for Ibrahimovic and Lucas Moura at PSG? 
Yeah, but can't he just fecking hold up the ball for 2 seconds, and why does he have to misplace so many easy passes?
Pathetic performance from a 300,000 a week teacher's pet. What in the feck was Rooney thinking when he had those opportunities? Does he fecking realize that when in front of goal, he doesn't have time to control the ball so he could either pass it or chip it in? Does he realize that he also has a left foot that he can shoot with instead of waiting to desperately flop for a penalty? And then he doesn't even work hard to win any ball. Seriously, what the feck has happened to him? I can deal with a goal drought and being off form, but at the very least show some heart.
