Poll added. Some seem to think he's going to score 20+ if he's played up front. Considering he keeps dropping deeper and deeper, I think he'll be lucky to hit 20.
[POLL] How many goals will Rooney score this season overall?

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?

Dropping deep isnt the issue - I dont know why people seem to think it is. Messi plays how much of his game away from the box? Zlatan as you saw today was dropping deeper than Rooney did for us.

Messi has the ability to go past players. He's also one of the best playmakers in the game. Zlatan is also a better passer. He set up a goal and got a poacher's goal himself tonight and played his role well.Dropping deep isnt the issue - I dont know why people seem to think it is.

Remove his penalty duty and he wouldn't make 12 goals. He's lost too much to his game and Sir Alex was right about it.

There you go, Rooney just isnt good enough. Somehow most pundits reckon he will end up in midfield - where do they get that from?Messi has the ability to go past players.

Worst scout to ever exist
20+ He scored 14 in all comps last season despite playing a lot of it in midfield and us not having a lot of games. He may not be as good of a goalscorer as he was, but he'll still better last years total most likely simply because we'll have more games and he'll be up front.

16-20. He'll score despite playing poorly overall.

I'm not concerned about his goal scoring ability (he can score a hatrick in a game where he is absolutely useless),just hope his performances aren't devastating.

He's a mystery but I reckon he'll score about 20 and provide Memphis, Hernandez and new striker with quite a pack of assists.

Similar to last season I think. I'm more concerned with his overall play I think with almost 14 seasons in the top flight it's all catching up on him. Can't see him still playing into mid 30s I personally would love him to break Charltons record and then from next season be replaced as our main forward.

Yeah should have clarified that better. Overall.I don't know if the poll is for league or overall. I'll go for 11-15 in the league, 16-20 overall. Basically, not enough.

Voted: Between 10-15.
Speculate: 10+ comfortably.
LVG doesn't set up his strikers to score loads, people will be sorely disappointed when he's not banging them in relentlessly.

Rooney is past it. The LvG I know would definitely get a replacement/competition for him.
Despite the media pretty much resigned to us signing nothing, I still have a bit of faith we will do some good business.

If played up front he'll score 18 goals in the league and 28 in all competitions.

If he is played upfront almost the entire season and not asked to play DM because some of our players are injured, then I think the count will be around 18-20 goals at least.

Take away pens/free kicks and I'd be surprised if he hits 12 in the league.
So 40+ starts upfront you think he could score as low as 4 goals from open play (and FKs).11- 15 (7 penalties in that figure)
Right...

Rooney will score more than 25 goals this season. We will play a huge amount of games if we do well in the cup competitions, domestically and in Europe. Rooney could end up playing in excess of 50 games as first choice #9 at United. You can question lots of things about Rooney, his touch, his stamina, his tendency to play floated passes for no reason, but he knows what to do in the penalty area. His finishing is still very good, his shot power still stinging, and he's good in the air as well. Provided United have any way decent season Rooney will get 25 goals, easily.

Its a speculative poll and that is my answer, if I am wrong then so be it.RightSo 40+ starts upfront you think he could score as low as 4 goals from open play (and FKs).

If we improve our creativity, then he could easily score 20+. If not, then I'd say he'd score 15.
So to clarify, you think that Rooney could score the same amount of goals from open play that Falcao scored last season but in triple or quadruple the playing time?Its a speculative poll and that is my answer, if I am wrong then so be it.Right
I know it''s a speculative poll but I don't it's tough to engage your brain for like 15 seconds before posting.

Based on current situation, all of which is subject to change, he should be in the 20s no question.
If we sign another striker, meaning he is not playing pretty much every match up front, or if he gets injured the figure may drop.
But if he plays 40 matches as our main central striker, of course he'll get 20 goals.
He may not be the world's best but people are seriously underrating him if they think he's not good enough to manage that.

Not enough is the answer. Should be hitting the 20's comfortably but he can't be arsed.
