You still got it *clap clap clap clap clap clap* (WWE style chant)
So another 2 goals and he's beat Charlton right?
Will be happy for him when he breaks it. What an achievement it would be.
He was never the problem, it was just a case of having won everything and being unable to top the highs of the Fergie era, now that everyone's finally on his ass he'll stop underperforming.
Too much experience to not be calm in these type situations. Important step to get his team through.
Agree with the above, good goal and good game so far. Seems to be a bit quicker and hungrier. I have no problem with him playing if he performs like this, then he merits his inclusion. What I wont accept though is the special treatment he has had previously
Something a player cannot control.
Noticed that too. He seems to be a lot more explosive than before.
He's been very decent to good ever since the Fener home game. He's deservedly back in the team right now over the likes of Rashford and Martial. Quality finish and buildup for the goal as well. Just one more goal today would be 
him and pogba are probably our best attackers.
He's overhit most of his passess but took the goal really well.
Nice and important goal, and good game so far, well done Wayne.
All of his good work has been down the left, which is where he had a pretty good game against Swansea. Nice finish.
Took the goal well, playing better than he has for a long while, I'll give him that. Still not enough for me.
That's a genuinely good half of football, poor one-two aside.
He has been much better on the left this season. The extra space is working well for him, still a counter-attacking threat somewhat.
Good half from him, after Pogba he's been our best player.
Unless he scores a hat trick and assists 2, nothing ever will be for you. On current form, he's our best option on the left wing and he should play there ...for now.
Deserves credit for that half, very good by him.
He always made that close quarters chip over the goalie finish easy. More of the same Wayne.
Good stuff Wayne. Scored a goal and has played well now both times on the left wing.
Definitely not enough for a club this level. It is what it is though, we have to put up with it for now and at least he's got a goal. For some reason I find him more likeable with the beard.
His assist against Hull as well came from the left, he's been decent there.
A slow plodder with a bad first touch is the best winger we have...
No wonder we're so bad at scoring goals then.It's a pity all the sitters we've missed vs Stoke, Burnley etc haven't fallen to him. His overall game might be poor but he's still a quality finisher in these situations.
Very happy with him so far and in the past few weeks to be honest. Looks a lot fitter, leaner, and as a result everything is sharper about him and he's looking much quicker. Glad he's responded to being dropped in the best possible way.
Rashford, Martial and Lingard have all been rubbish on the left when played there this season. Rooney's had his best moments and games from the left and is deservedly playing there right now.A slow plodder with a bad first touch is the best winger we have...
...like the sitter he missed at the end of the Burnley game?
That really wasn't a sitter considering just how many bodies there were between him and goal.
Looked really sharp in the last 3 games I think Mourinho has whipped him into some shape. He puts them away which is what we've been struggling with.
Mourinho has simply not gifted him a starting spot and Rooney has responded well. The realization that he will only play if he performs has obviously lot a fire under his ass.
Yeah pretty much looks like it. His form has definitely been on the rise after his extended spell on the bench.
Great finish from Rooney. Is it 2 more goals til he breaks the record?
I hope he breaks it.
I hope he breaks it.
Agree. He can make his favorite long pass to the right from there as much as he wants. Moreover, his defensive work will help free up Pogba.
José might be onto something here. Interestingly, the last manager who tried Rooney on the left was.. Moyes
Even then I'd call it a good game and be absolutely sure that he's not worth the money nor the hassle. He's not good enough to be the talisman of this club.
Im more than happy to keep this version of Rooney
Hes been great again today, very good.
I like him in this position as long as the fullback provides the width. His movement drifting in is causing all sorts of problems.
Has he touched the ball in this half?
