Bit of marketing, hype and his experience. About it really. Decent dead ball at times too I guess.
Some really pathetic comments on here today. We all know how things sit now, it's tedious rehashing them again and again.
He is a squad filler, and after a 2hour game midweek and lots of injuries, he put a shift in.
Scored that key goal, and enabled the likes of Lingard/Rashford and Mik to not have to play 90mins.
I dare say we'll see him again v Swansea, probably for 90mins again

Why not give him that for his final year, he's been robbing £250k for the last 4 years. Been a legend for us no doubt, from 18 to many years down the line but come on, its sad what he's become at 30-31, its like he's given up and is just strolling round the pitch in midfield pretending to be Pirlo or Scholes, trying to imitate so called Holywood Balls like Gerrard did in his twilight.
Is that Keano's beard? Been a while since I've ventured into this thread.I'm not sure that's cost effective, let alone performance effective. Will he take a cut to his pay check instead of doubling it by moving abroad? Also, the marketing angle surely is on the slump when he can no longer perform. He's not a character like Eric or Zlatan, nor is he some pretty boy like Becks.
Did well for the goal but wasn't very good otherwise.
Still he's clearly off in the Summer and it's not like he was terrible today.

Nah I agree - Everton are mugs if they pay him a good wage for that kind of contribution.
Imagine if Zlatan had only scored 4-5 goals this season but we tried to justify it (the wages) by bigging up his dressing room influence.
I was just delighted seeing him play for one of his last ever appearances. A goal is just
Who needs rival fans when you have guys like this who support United?
Mate, the Liverpool fans were posting like that en mass about their boyhood, blue eyed boy slipper wearing slip up artist Ste Gerrrrrrrraaaaaaaard. They were sick and tired of him, wanted him moved on and millions spent on a proper replacement. Why is it United fans have to put up with our equivalent, and he wasn't even our youth player, like Gerrard, he was Evertons. We just bought him.
Amazing how you always get the patronising 'you ain't a proper fan' flannel. Do me a favour. Rooney, if he was roll around WBA, Stoke or Leicester would be more at home than he is playing games for Mancester United. He wouldn't get in the Madrid, Barca, Bayern, Chelsea or anyones teams. He's done weather you like it or not. And that door-matt of a girlfriend of his, like they all seem to be when £££'s and fame is a stake (Terry, Giggs) will have to put up with him moping about the house when the money starts drying up and the papers click much less.
Bottom line? No other big team/big club will have him and he talks less English than Carragher to get on TV without getting mocked.
Did well by his standards this season. He also had a point with the referee, just laughable stuff at times, with every little thing from us being a foul and they could do the same thing and get away with it.
It's been pretty hard to be clinical in front of goal for us the whole season. If he keeps scoring when he plays, I honestly wouldn't mind him playing complete shite. Goals are all we need going into this last stretch.
Well said.
Berating the referee to the point where he receives a booking for it is "doing his job?" What?
Pleased he managed to get a goal, hope he doesn't get it taken off him.
How is the hater tag still being used with regards Rooney after the last two seasons?
I've got another phrase for us "haters." We're now called the "people who got it right."
Pretty conclusively let's be honest. Slowly but surely, the crowd gave in to reality.
Mr Tumbles is a better footballer than him.
Criticise him all you want. Everyone agrees he's past it and doesn't deserve to be anywhere near the lineup but that comment was unnecessary and OTT.
I don't like doing the whole told you so thing but when the agenda and hater stuff is still being chucked around. Come on.
How much more evidence do fans need that when posters were saying he was finished it wasn't to do with any agenda. It's because he is.
Did alright, looked a bit gassed by the end of the game, no chance he starts against City. I'll be glad if he can chip in with a couple of goals by the end of the season though like today.
He did quite alright, but it doesn't change anything obviously.
He was up for it, he doesn't have the legs clearly and offers little on the ball, but his awareness to grab that goal was important.
So what you're saying is, you want a United player to fail?
It's not really fine when his contribution is usually either minimal or detrimental. Bundling home one goal today doesn't change that. Nothing has changed, he still isn't good enough and if it wasn't for an injury crisis he wouldn't be starting. That doesn't make him worth being kept around for £300k a week.
Not sure i agree with this. Zlatan has contributed in goals and his holdup/link play is far better than Rooneys. If Zlatan does go i rather we get someone else to replace Rooney aswell.
He is still a poor man's james corden.
Got a goal, was aggressive, was vocal and he played 90 minutes.
I say he had a good game.

Still managed to look poor despite scoring in an easy tie. Played most of the game with his mouth.
That said, we need him at the moment, any body we can get frankly, and if he can chip in with the odd goal it will be great,y appreciated. Hope he has a big winning goal in him before he bows out.

Yeah lets have a past it squad player who barely plays for 300k per week, not like we can use the money elsewhere
Your obsession with rooney is really something.
That slip when Jesse played him in was poor Wazza's post Fergie career summed up in one moment
He put an effort in today, I can't fault him for that. Really pleased with his goal that cemented our win.
Every game he plays though reaffirms the view that he's done at this level. Very slow, many miss kicks (even the goal), many bad controls, many slips. The game seemed too fast for him most of the time. He has a sweet right foot, but no time to do anything with it at this level.
No fecking chance. We can go buy a 30 goal a season striker and pay him almost half of the money we currently pay Rooney. His pay packet is too huge to be kept on. He needs to be moved on and the money re-invested.
Yep

He was fine for his first game back. Could be a crucial option in the run in.
Good performance. I can't see why anyone would say different.
I really wish the idiot hadn't pushed for moves to city and Chelsea over the last few years.
It's really tarnished his relationship with our fans. He should be going out a club and fan legend

I've accepted he's off but with the Zlatan injury, if Jose does want to keep one player to play when no one else is fit/fresh, he's an okay option. I don't understand the fans and their obsession with how much a player is paid so I'll ignore the 300k bit. Anyway, I think we all know he's not staying anyway. It's going to be Griezman and one more.Yeah lets have a past it squad player who barely plays for 300k per week, not like we can use the money elsewhere

He isnt an okay option when you can get someone better for 1/10th the price. As for not caring about wages, going through your posting history.
Seems like you cared about wages before rooney turned to shit. So explain to me wr8, how it doesnt make sense to have joe cole here, back in the day, for 90k as a rotation option but you are more than happy for rooney to play the same role at 300k per week.

Top post.
Regardless of the goal, if we tie our hopes of UCL football to him once again, we are done. We can't depend on him, he should not be playing at this level anymore.
Rooney has already failed the last two seasons or more. I'd rather his place and huge wage went on players who are good for the future of the club. Hopefully the club can get some value out of him over the run in. They certainly deserve it from him.
