Starting to think Rooney is an alien queen controlling the minds of ex pros for nefarious means, it's the only logical conclusion.
Rooney is finished

For those who get it, it's starting to remind me a lot of this...They looked terrified when he was being slagged off

Also its not nice to treat fans like that..
It should always about the football right now and he has been pretty poor for nearly three seasons. Even if he beat the record with a few penalties and an offside tap in it would never take away from what he has given to the cub. He needs dropping from this team so we can move forward. I trust Mourinho to handle it properly and it's what 95% are calling for. Unfortunate but such is life.
Ok not being sarcastic here but that's actually harsh on Obertan. Obertan had a good touch and a certain languid style of dribbling ability, everything else he was poor but yeah, Rooney's performance was even worst than a worst Obertan.
I wonder why out of all the footballers they chose to be in the illuminati, they chose Rooney?
Apparently they have all types of degrading initiations which you have to do to get in... Granny shagging got him a VIP pass.
The Irish pundit got very defensive about Wayne. He just did not want to listen and he seems to be hanging on to what Wayne did 5-10 years ago.
Shocking.
Here's a thought.
If we had got Guardiola, he'd have transfer listed Rooney immediately. Just as he got Hart (because he can't use his feet well enough) and Nasri (due to being fat) out, fast.
How would the media and pundits responded to this?
Remember, Pep is rated as the best manager in the World, so they could not disagree with him.

Your speculating about something no one but Pep knows about. What if he got rid of DDG because Bravo is better at kicking?

.You can understand why they are reluctant to critizise the captain on the club channel.
Yeah but it is reaching really, really desperate levels of delusion now (somebody mentioned NKorea here, good shout) when everybody around them sees that they're talking immense bollocks. Club TV and not only because we've heard all sorts of bollocks everywhere really, Nevilles, Ducker, etc.Miss Mutv

18 caftards voted him man of the match last night.

Names.18 caftards voted him man of the match last night.
I actually voted no since he was doing a passable job on the wing, but that touch in front of goal yesterday...he's done.
I'm always amazed that people say things like 'that irish pundit' or that grey haired pundit etc....and not realise it's Sammy Mcllroy...who was a dam good player for us in his day. I'm not saying fans should know everything about United and it's past teams...but Sammy?....he was one of the ones that stood out.
Just shows how many fans really have only known the relative success we had under Fergie!!

Bayern Munich sold BFS, a real proper first class legend, who, tbf, could still do a job. Why the feck can't we sell Rooney?
Because no one will take him and his wages.
The way he's playing I think it would be difficult to sell him.....!
He played as an inside forward for a couple of years
Maybe people were that upset by the performance last night, I don't know. I certainly didn't enjoy it but Ander was easily MoTM.
@Damien ?

Or that many people posting here aren't that old? and/or have not prowled through footage of United teams in the 80s to see Sammy Mcllroy stand out?!
We just need him to get the goal record out of the way and then hope he's at least vaguely open to the idea of moving on for a big payday in the USA/China at the end of the season.
Opponent goes in two footed from behind on team mate, what do you do?!

Captain and leader my arse.
It's silly but for whatever reason some of them refuse to admit he's done. Don't think it's delusion either as anyone can see it.
Was thinking that .... Maybe we should pay a team off and let him score his four goals, so he can ride off into the sunset. ( Rooney fan boys would be saying he's back, give him another contract though.)
Pay them off with Rooney's weekly wage.

That's shocking. Remember when our captains were real hard bastards?

If he gets dropped vs Leicester, I wonder who'll take over as captain. Ibra? De Gea? Smalling?
If Carrick plays should be him really....
Ibra.
De Gea doesn't have that much presence atm and Smalling...Smalling thinks he's only after arriving in Northampton.
Manchester United captain Wayne Rooney divides opinion... Sportsmail experts debate whether it is time Jose Mourinho dropped the England star
It is the first big question facing Jose Mourinho during his Manchester United reign - stick or twist with Wayne Rooney?
The 30-year-old captain again came in for criticism for an under-par performance in United’s 3-1 victory at Northampton in the League Cup.
Mourinho shifted Rooney - who has spent most of the season in midfield - back up front for the match but he failed to deliver goals.
As they prepare to face Premier League champions Leicester on Saturday lunchtime, our reporters give their verdict on whether it is time to drop Rooney.
Wayne Rooney continues to struggle for form at Manchester United this season

ROB DRAPER
No. I can’t help but think that - despite the current crisis mode - United played quite well in the second half against Manchester City. As such, I would persist with Rooney wide right, in a trio of Rashford and Ibrahimovic, with Pogba and Fellaini as your attacking midfielders and Herrera holding.
Given that Martial is hardly sparkling, I’d look at using Ashley Young or Juan Mata from the bench.
JOE BERNSTEIN
Yes. Wayne Rooney should be finished as a mainline Manchester United player - Sir Alex Ferguson identified that in 2013. He is still good enough to be part of the squad and make a contribution - his run won United the FA Cup in May - but whether his ego allows that is another matter.
Ryan Giggs was able to do that at United, Steven Gerrard left Liverpool rather than be a bit-part player.
Rooney lets fire with a shot during the Cup victory against League One's Northampton
RIATH AL-SAMARRAI
Yes. That is not to denigrate the legacy of one of the best English players of several eras, but a simple recognition of the blatantly obvious - he is not what he used to be, to the point he weakens the team when he is in it. Perhaps there will be one last surge in his great career, but there is no sign of it coming any time soon.
At the very least, it might do him some good to get out of the firing line for a while. Maybe then he will return with some confidence and make us all look stupid. In the meantime, Mourinho needs to make what seems to be an easy decision.
Rooney endured a largely frustrating evening playing a forward role for Mourinho's men
Rooney's heat map from Wednesday night shows his desire to help out the midfield and attack
CRAIG HOPE
Yes. I always suspected he would play his way out of the team this season and the time has come for Mourinho to justifiably drop him. Rooney’s presence is undermining the progress of club and country and both will be better off without him.
He is smothering younger players who, given more freedom, will prosper minus Rooney.
The England captain has only scored one goal for his club side so far this season
ADAM CRAFTON
Yes. United have enough options in that position to leave Rooney out of the team. He is no longer indispensable to United and he should not be treated as such. His form simply does not justify selection. Juan Mata as a 10 or Paul Pogba (in a midfield three) deserve a run in the team.
ROONEY'S MANCHESTER UNITED SEASON SO FAR
Games - 7
Goals - 1
Assists - 2
Yellow/red cards - 3/0
KIERAN GILL
Yes. I cannot help feeling that Wayne Rooney has become a square peg in a round hole, and his performance at Northampton was painful. Marcus Rashford comes on as a substitute at 1-1, gets a goal and an assist. For me, I’d rather have him in my team than Rooney at the moment.
JACK GAUGHAN
Yes. It's time for Rooney to be taken out of the firing line. Struggled through the middle at Northampton Town on Wednesday night, dropping deeper and deeper to get through some 'nice' work without impacting much in an attacking sense. Mourinho wants goals and isn't getting them at the moment.
He played with the attitude of a player who knew he was getting dropped. I wanted to punch my TV after this incident. He's taking the piss.

Pep refused the United job due to Rooney's contract clause saying he has to play according to a thread earlier
......so he couldn't have got rid of Rooney so decided to join City instead.Somebody needs to play that on a loop to Memphis. This is how concerned your captain was about your welfare. He is more bothered if there is a handball.
Carrick will get it I imagine and Blind has worn the armband too this season. Smalling seems to be down the list now.
Wouldn't mind Herrera being given it either. Ibra's just arrived so not him.
Three hundred thousand pounds a week.
Wonder what Memphis thinks of it
