Really hope there isn't a clause guaranteeing Rooney a certain number of minutes per season. That would be a sorry state of affairs.

Perhaps Mourinho is being savvy here. Realising the power Rooney has in the dressing room and the media, he is giving him enough rope to hang himself - allowing him to show everyone just how cack he is, thereby ensuring there's no dissent when he's eventually dropped.

Whatever the reason, it can't be anything to do with what he's done on the pitch. He's gone as a top level footballer

 

[Carlsen19]

I'll get some stick for this but I'm past caring, the best thing we can hope for is an injury. There's no other way he'll get dropped.

 

[VorZakone]

It's definitely contractual.

 

[ivaldo]

Fantastic play, always backed him...

 

[K2K]

briliant

 

[thegregster]

Brilliant play.

 

[Minimalist]

Saved again lol.

 

[ivaldo]

Fantastic play, always backed him...

 

[Footyislife]

91 mins of terrible, 1 min of magic. Guess that's why Mourinho's in charge and not us folk. Should use him as a super sub, i think he'd be far more effective.

 

[Perrick Dubois]

"Finished."

 

[VorZakone]

Bought himself another 30 games.

 

[fellaini's barber]

 

[JohnnyKills]

Take it all back. He's like Zidane on speed.

 

[Stringer]

I'm a huge critic of his but that was brilliant.

 

[Duafc]

Absolutely garbage in the first half but Wayne fecking Rooney!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Black Adder]

Ever since he's been moved to the left he started to actually play some football!

 

[pseudo_canadian]

Rashord and Mkhi need to start.

Both absolute class.

 

[EyeInTheSky]

Hull defenders out on their feet. Brave performance

 

[dileno]

What an assist

 

[Skills]

Bought himself another 30 games.

By helping us scrape a win against a team, who we would've smashed if he wasn't on the pitch

 

[Amadaeus]

that saves him for the rest of the season . Good play by Rooney, unfortunately Mhiktaryan might have to wait.

 

[Hed Zitin]

Done it again. He keeps making that key contribution.

 

[Rado_N]

Fair play, great work for the assist.

 

[villain]

Great assist, thats what matters in the end

 

[Big Ben Foster]

Fair play

 

[JPRouve]

He has been terrible in the middle and a lot better on the left. A lot better.

 

[EyeInTheSky]

Feck we needed that

Should have scored a few more easily. We can't afford to carry players and get rescued time and again

 

[prateik]

Poor the whole match. Made the goal.. great assist ..

That sums it up.

 

[FujiVice]

Reckon we'll see Rooney out on the left next game and Martial dropped. Mhiktaryan's first on the fecking team sheet after that performance. He was incredible.

 

[Isotope]

Bastard!! all is forgiven, Roo.

Glorious.. glorious assist.

 

[saivet]

Big contribution from him at the end. Awful defending, but good composure with the assist.

 

[podurban2]

91 mins of terrible, 1 min of magic. Guess that's why Mourinho's in charge and not us folk. Should use him as a super sub, i think he'd be far more effective.

Agreed, thank god I'm not in charge! Just hope Mou's choices keeps coming to frutition.

 

[Woodenlung]

There's a pattern developing this season.

He'll play like complete shite most of the game and pop up with a goal or assist.

 

[kidbob]

Quality in that second half. More of that please.

 

[Man-United]

Superb assist Wayne.

 

[OneUnited24]

I actually didnt think he played that badly today. Hes become a bit of a scapegoat, now i think hes been gash for a few seasons now but today and last week hes been alright

 

[Aki_United]

By helping us scrape a win against a team, who we would've smashed if he wasn't on the pitch

Oh, cmon, stop it, why all this hate? Wazza was ok, he was not mor bad than the others. He contributed for this win.

 

[psychdelicblues]

Brilliant assist....but should be a squad player.

 

[Minimalist]

Too be fair, this is eerily similar to Gerrard. Even Gerrard scored goals, free kicks, penalties and the odd assist despite stinking the place up for two season.

 

[The United]

Alrite guys, let'ss take a 2 days break from bashing him.
