How embarrassing must it be for Rooney to pick up a fat check every other week!

Back in training today.
Interesting to see whether he will start on Wednesday or Sunday, both or neither. I'm not sure he'll be fit for tomorrow, and won't start Sunday.
Weird... his stats would suggest that he's had an OK season. 15 goals and assists in 29 appearances (18 starts) Really decent numbers, shame he's a little crap.
Remember what those assists were though? We're talking 3 yard passes to Lingard on the half way line, a 5 yard pass to Ibra 40 yards out, a shanked shot Ibra headed in at the far post. A tackle that deflected off his shin to Rashford. It's a bit of a comedy to be honest
Not travelled with the squad. Lads I think this is it. We are in the 'end of an era' countdown.
I agree for the most part, but really early on he had cross to Ibra and the ball in for the Rashford winner at Hull. But generally yeah, those moments have been so few and far between its actually quite amazing how far he's dropped even from last season. We thought he was bad last year, but he's hit a new low in some of his performances.
If he's not in the squad on Sunday, I really think he's played his last game for United.
Really? Rested for the final, perhaps? Anyone else notable who didn't travel?

Do we go into such an analysis of assist quality for all players?
Like world cups?
It's simply not true.
I really don't think Rooney is not trying(that's simply trying to tarnish him unfairly), he's just not good enough.
Not in the squad for st. Etienne. Its hard to know what to believe about what is going on any more. He can't possibly be ill or have a slight muscle injury every week.
Hopefully he's mid-negotiation with a Chinese club. Is their window still open?
Mourinho didn't even try and dismiss any speculation.
Probable just irritated the topic ruined his conference.

Chinese window is open till 28 feb i think. One can hope and pray till then. I do think mourinho saying "Ask wayne" is basically saying ball is in his court and he can leave. Dont think Rooney will leave right now, end of season for sure.
Every fecking question, its not even interesting. It comes up most weeks as well and I don't know why, surely its gotten to the point where people aren't reading about it and the journalists can't write anyway as Mourinho is giving the same stock answers he has from the start.
Rooney is a club legend, he goes when he chooses. Copy and paste.
Wouldn't you just love to be an English sports journalist?
Just need a to prepare a few Rooney questions here and there and it's job done for the week
Rooney isn't going to China. He wants to play the next WC and that means playing in a top 5 league. If not here then somewhere else, but that somewhere is going to be in Europe
I honestly think I could do it. Tuesday Rooney story. Wednesday i would invent a bale link to united. Thursday say bale to united is looking increasingly likely. Friday mourinho refuses to talk about bale links in conference, so must be something there. Saturday bale set to snub united. Sunday story about however much rooney has or hasn't played.
No shit. Anyone could do it. I can't tell how much disdain I have for sports journalists.. "Oh I like football, hey I'll get a degree and write spam for TalkSport!"
Bar a group of really talented and hard working people, but it is a small pool.
Oh yeah, I remember. Still decent numbers.
So how's Rooney doing in China? Scored any goals yet?
That might have been the case beginning of the season but Mourinho has put him in his place, he must be deluded to think he has any chance to play in the racist, I mean Russia world cup. But then again, it's England were talking here.
Utd would have to let him go for peanuts or free if he was to go to another premiership or European team but if he went China, potentially recoup the fee he originally signed for. That would be brilliant and a nice send off.
To be honest wouldn't mind if he stayed next season as long as he agreed to half his wages but he won't, so he can feck off
He is this close to breaking England's all time caps record and he is still being selected for National side, so yes, he would be hopeful of appearing in next wc. Plus he's already stated he'd retire from internationals after next world cup, which basically implies he won't be moving to US, China or middle east for that matter before the world cup

It'll be pretty weird (and very telling) if Rooney ends up leaving us this summer on just one goal more than Sir Bobby.
You think he'll be selected in Englands next fixture? Not a chance whilst he isnt playing for us
Is this new?
Reading between the lines he's saying it's his home here and he can do what he likes. Doesn't mean he's going to play very much.
I'll be interested to see if Mourinho decides to give him a new deal or use the option for another year on his current deal. I'll be very surprised if Woodward does.
From Woodward's perspective, it will be worth extending his deal from a commerical POV as it will increase any transfer fee we would get for him. The same reason he was happy to sanction his last deal.
And why's everyone so desperate for him to leave now when he can't be replaced? Might as well do it in the summer if we are going to as we'll need as many players as possible come the run-in, especially one as experienced as him.
You think we could get £15m+ (for each year he has on his deal?) in transfer fee for him? Or that he's worth that much to us commercially each year?
I don't argue with your final sentiment but the irony in writing the first bit of your post is hilarious.
Also, check out this "breaking news"!
No, but say we were to activate his one year extension, we are in a stronger position to negotiate with other clubs about his transfer fee so we would get more money without having to honour it.
You must be very naive if you take every thing written on the internet Literally. Now i am going to have sex with Margot Robbie and Scarlet Johansson.You must have a really sad life to be praying about this.
Who do you think will pay any sort of transfer fee and offer him wages to tempt him or/and football to a standard he'd demand?
If we want to get him off the books in the most financially beneficial way possible, the last thing we want to do is extend his contract.
Haha, your tagline tells me everything I need to know actually.
China/MLS clearly but up to Rooney if he wants that. Otherwise, you're right, it doesn't make sense to extend.
This is the same Jose that spent the month of January lavishing Morgan and Depay with praises. He also mentioned he didn't want those two to go and would be sad if they left. But he always added that he wouldn't stand in their way if they wanted to go and then hardly played them. Same script, different cast.
Rooney is a goner.
It's simply a way to say ''I didn't force him out''.
Incase he does go this month, I hope he atleast gets to come on in the final if we're winning. Would be nice to end his career here with him lifting a trophy.
Need help guys when was the last time Rooney actually started a league game?
