He was our most threatening attacker, and got an assist, but I don't expect that to get in the way of the usual dressing downs.

He was average.
People still calling for him to be subbed
He hasn't been overly good but you still have to leave him on. He is still the one looking most likely to make something happen when going forward

Hes been one of our best players, though not that good which shows how crap some others are.
Because he was shit?
I mean you're not wrong, others were shitter than him, but once again: 'well at least he didn't do as bad as others' is no real defence.
He's been caught on the ball a few times but has also created all our chances, looks very fired up too.
Probably the best player out there for us, which shows how much everyone else needs to up their game in the 2nd half.

True, but he is also just as likely to set up a City counter with his awful passing.
How is that an assists, doubt it actually counts as an assists honestly.
Reminds me of di Maria in his season here. Shit all game but manages to create chances.
That turn aside, he's been shite.
Neville's been horrible tbh, also said Fellaini should be a candidate
He's been dogshit. One nice turn is not a good half of football.
Can't disagree with that. He's made a few bad passes but like you say, he's one of the few who's closing down well and looking somewhat dangerous on the break.
Someone nailed it in the match thread, anyone saying Rooney is still good enough to be playing at #10 should take a look at De Bruyne.
I thought Mkhi coming into the team was going to make us win by 5 goals? Rooney has been all right, far better than Mkhi and Lingard and Ibra as well.
Think he's been one of our better performers although it wouldn't be hard.
He's lost the ball numerous times. He's too slow, and he's been physically dominated too.
He was okay actually.
Yep, that quality in such a pivotal role is the biggest difference in the two sides.
But again...on this day, there are far worse players unfortunately.
Been better than most today to be fair.
I think he has been very good.
He's been dreadful - better than Mkhitaryan but that's no defence.
A number 10 shouldn't be losing the ball as much as he does, it's absolutely mental.

He's not been 'far better' than anyone, that's just complete nonsense.
Yeah, I don't want him in the team but today he's not our biggest problem and looks like something might come off for him. Unlike the two clowns flanking him.
To think that he is occupying the position where there are much better players. 
You in the wrong thread?
The only player in that half for United that you could even muster the term good for is Fellaini.
The problem is that his level has dropped so much that today's performance is considered "decent" or "good". Mainly because he hasn't screwed up as much as normal or as much as others.
Other one counter attack, what exactly has he done to justify being a regular starting no. 10 for United?

You must be confused and you've mistaken him for De Bryune.
In the fleeting moments we've broken on them he's used the ball well and at least he's showing passion unlike Mihki, Lingard and even Pogba
Another poor performance, but has the excuse that Mkhi and Lingard were even worse.
He is pretty pointless defensively, I am pretty sure having brick at center of the pitch we would have won more balls fom start of the season than he did. Pretty sure that he didn't win more than two duels or had two interceptions since start of the season. We will never be a side that is good at pressing with him in the team either, he just stands there telling others to run, it's pretty embarassing for a captain, I think even the likes of Messi and Ronaldo are more effective defensively.
Most threatening despite not having single goal attempt?

Has been brilliant in the last 4-5 minutes of the 2nd half. Shit in the other 40.
Who cares who he's been better than? He's still been shite.
You are arguing with a partisan hack. It's like trying to convince a Liverpool fan that Luis Suarez was in the wrong during the Evra incident.
Our best attacking player.
This
Agreed, apart from one or two good moments, he simply isn't influential enough on the ball nor is threatening enough on the counter. We barely looked like we were going to do something on the counter with Ibra and Rooney. Could really do with Martial or Rashford's pace and directness.
Mkhitaryan and Lingard have been worse than Rooney but it doesn't really excuse his performance in any way imo.
His free kick was a floater of a turd. It was Bravo that assisted us.
The rest of the time Wayne has been losing the ball. The worst close control on the pitch.
Last United player to touch the ball before the goal. Good cross into a dangerous area. It's an assist in my book.
