Geez 15 assists is a bit optimistic but I'll go for about 20 goals too!
[POLL] How many goals will Rooney score this season overall?
- Thread starter Señor
- Start date

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?
Rooney was always a willing assister from the start of his career, and I have a feeling that Memphis will score quite a few from his passes.
I get the impression our overall success this season will correlate quite significantly with Rooney's.
He gets a lot of stick for the times when he looks off the pace or out of form but an on form Rooney can change games. In fact, there has been times when an out of sorts Rooney has popped up and scored important goals. We're not going to outperform every team in every game this season. There are going to be times when we have to grind out a win (or a draw) and Rooney is the kind of player who can be a talisman in those moments.
Hopefully with a supporting cast that has been added significantly this summer he can go on to have his best season yet at united.
Fingers crossed.

About 15 goals, think he will further decline this season and next summer we will discuss his replacement (seriously, not the usual Rooney is shit-bitching). Still think we will ok because Memphis and Pedro will score for fun too 
I'm expecting 15 league goals from Rooney, wouldn't be too much to ask?
Doh! sorry mate i thought you were serious.I have a condition called unsuccessful irony, should've gone with white text first time
Actually I rate Rooney as very good player, he should easily hit 20 goals mark IF played only as striker, not messing him around the pitch as usual.
But there's too many people on this site acting as he's some kind of pub player stealing living from United so tried to be ironic, just it didn't work
With the outrageous shit posted on here about Rooney it's hard to tell sometimes. I mean look at the poll some crazy bastards actually believe he will only score 0-5 which is mental.
Definitely not thats a good estimate of how much he will probably score in the league. If we do well and progress in the cups i reckon he could add 5-10 cup goals to that.
With him playing upfront and injury free all season that needs to be the minimum really.
Be interesting come January if he only has 6-8.
I reckon about 20 in the league and 5-10 in other competitions depending on how well we do. He's proven before you can put him up top and he'll score goals. For me it takes a bit way from him and as captain I'm not sure about it but he will get the goals. Over his career he's pretty much always scored over 10 without ever actually being the main striker (bar the one when he scored over 30 goals).
My fault.
I did vote 0-5, just to go along with the (bad) joke
Although expect at least 20 goals from him, and he's more than capable of doing it playing constantly up-front.
Not in the last few seasons there hasn't. Well maybe once or twice but that would apply to every player playing the amount of games he does. He only won us the Villa game last season that I can remember.
I'm sure you'd agree that this season is a whole different prospect to the previous two? I feel like this year it's going to be a case of how far can we actually go as to whether or not we can scrape a Champions League place. The difference in focus combined with the likelihood that Rooney will be playing further forward will surely be factors in his overall performance?
Probably about 10-15 less than Aguero/Costa.
