Totally agree. Rooney was a very good player but not good enough to be the main man in a successful United team. He has had 2 seasons where he scored 20 league goals or more and United didn't win the league in either one.
In that way he is very similar to Gerrard. Very talented but a very individual player. Lauded as the talisman but in truth, the club looked far better when he was given a less influential role.
