Different players develop in different ways.
United's top scorer - Bobby Charlton - had his peak goalscoring season (29 goals) when was 21 and never went over 21 goals in a season again. Best's peak scoring season, again when he was about 21, yielded 32 goals (from 10 the season before) and he delivered four more 20+ seasons.
The question with Rooney is - we know he can score great goals but is he going to be a prolific goalscorer in the RvN, Denis Law, Alan Shearer sense? He may not want to be that kind of player, his skills may need a different outlet. I'd like him to score more (good for my nerves) but I'm not too worried about his contribution.
