In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?

Lol, i did say he was wank. I didn't blame anyone in that post, it was just based on my observation.
Hopefully January at the latest then!Something tells me we aren't going to consider selling him until he becomes the club's top goalscorer. Only 5 more goals until that's the case however.
Shame we don't have Europa League qualifier against some small minnow side. He could still whack in 3 or 4 against them I'm sure.
Would 5 goals during pre-season count?
Could feck him off before the first game of actual season then.Yeah that would be great, don't preseason games count
Beat me to it lol.Would 5 goals during pre-season count?
There were a few just as bad infact 10 more and big bad Joe wtf lol
I guess LvG was telling to let the ball role under his feet or bounce of his shins...
Yeah right
But he got a goal, therefore he's the best player we ever had and are lucky to have him!
Haha, that's the Caf logic. Play a 1/10 for 89mins, score a goal on the 90 and get bumped to an 8/10
somewhere within him there is a midfield gem
or not :-D
or not :-D
His career reminds me of Totti's at Roma and Italy. His diminishing performances are just making more problems for club and country. I hope Jose doesn't bow down to reputations and gutless analysts opinions on him and sorts the problem out as soon as possible.
If it's there, it's in his anus.
Fair enough. But Alli being too far up the pitch had nought to do with him making all the mistakes that he made.
Maybe if his hair transplant contains some of Iniestas. Slim pickings though.
I could even understand that people wanted to give him this last season one more chance as a forward, but I seriously think anyone who thinks he was ever good enough in midfield has no idea about football. Not saying I have, but it is so easy to see just from watching him in few games that he is never a midfielder, it is beyond me how so many people cannot see it.
See below. Is this not you saying Rooney is being blamed for the team's performance?
Having told another poster to not give this opinion any oxygen I've gone and done just that. I'll leave it there.
Let's hope Jose was watching that load of garbage
Not a good comparison. Totti played really rarely this year and even when he played he scored goals which helped Roma to secure them a CL spot.
Totti is also loved and respected by most Italians I think. Same cannot be said with Rooney.
It's funny going back to the start of this thread and all the talk was whether he was a 20 goal a season striker because that's what Van Gaal and Wayne were saying. Once Martial and Rashford started banging them in the he's really a midfielder excuse starting cropping up.
They not only think he is a midfielder. They think he can be a top midfielder and win Player of the season as a midfielder
In years gone by England's woes have been pretty much blamed on Rooney it was more tongue in cheek than anything. Perhaps you're not intelligent enough to see that? I mean I can understand if that's the case, jokes are hard Dobbs
Woeful tonight but I'm gonna say it, he was decent in the first 2 group games. Dropping him for Slovakia was stupid but not an excuse for that performance.
This!!!!
That's what is so infuriating. This isn't a Gerrard or Shearer situation where there's a player clearly well past his best but they're a beloved legend so you don't want to get rid.
Rooney is a deeply divisive player amongst the fanbase to put it mildly. Add to that he's absolutely fecking shit now and it's just baffling that we haven't got rid.
No way.They not only think he is a midfielder. They think he can be a top midfielder and win Player of the season as a midfielder
Are there any posts predicting this?
Rooney is a Championship level player, IMO. He may even be of a bottom 3 EPL level player, but certainly not of MUFC standard.
And how on Earth did he get into the England squad with so many other strikers who are proven to be better?
Yes, we know he can score a penalty which another player creates...but that's not good enough to play as England attacking midfielder or striker.
He is living off of past reputation and no manager has the guts to make the right decition.
LVG basically got sacked because he put too much faith in Rooney's ability to score goals.
Yet Rooney is still lingering.
someone said after the Russia game he could be player of the season
Stage 1. He's a legend and should be afford the respect he deserves! He's still a 20 goal striker!
Stage 2. He needs a run at number 9 to get his rhythm / He doesn't get enough service / The play style doesn't suit him
Stage 3. Well he's really a midfielder and could end up being like Scholes.
Stage 4. His team mates let him down / He can hit that one cross field pass / Scholes mk.II / Needs time to learn the role / Alli and Wilshere too far ahead of him / Too many defenders sitting deep

I'm not wanting to give another chance as a striker at all, but it is the lesser from the evils if he stays, a few sub appearances, and behind Ibra and Rashord in the pecking order, that's it.
Personally I'd rather we get some money back for him and flog him to China, but it's not going to happen.

Rooney's ratings. "Did all he could"
He got higher than Sturridge, despite Sturridge actually looking more like a professional footballer than Rooney. You can't make it up.

What a joke. "Did what he could to get England going"Really wouldn't be bothered to see Wayne move on now, he is a player in decline and is showing no sign off slowing the rate down. He isn't a midfielder, he shouldn't be get in to our midfield next season nor should he be a striker if we get our targets.
There's no back from this tonight, I've never seen him this bad and he shouldn't be anywhere near United squad let alone captain of it! Really hope Jose eases him out so he doesn't throw any tantrums and we get clean break. Pay the rest of his contract if needed and turn to the future, he's been great servant to the club, but my God his attempted dribbling tonight showed how far he's fallen.
Who thinks that?They not only think he is a midfielder. They think he can be a top midfielder and win Player of the season as a midfielder
Motd live now and not one criticism about Rooney. Pathetic how much support he has got in the media.
This could be the final nail in his coffin tonight. He won't get a place in Jose's midfield. Absolutely garbage - hands down one of the worst performances I've seen from a player of supposed quality in my life.
My only hope for this tournament was for the English media to wake up and smell the coffee with regards to Rooney, to make it easier for Mourinho to Casillas/Mata him this season.
Apparently, since he can hit the Valencia pass, which Iceland also did several times tonight, he's the best midfielder ever and an English version of a Xavi/Iniesta hybrid. I hope Mourinho sells him to Scunthorpe.

He genuinely did, and that's what's so sad about his decline.
Said it before and I'll say it again. United will have trouble becoming a powerhouse again with him still in the squad.
I don't think Mourinho will do anything though... Could be another 2-3 years before united truly becomes great again
