He's a problem that would be fairly easy to fix if he could pick up any semblance of form. Even scrappy performances would do if he could start grabbing some goals. Our defensive prowess right now could probably carry us through these fixtures if he was able to put in average performances.
Even people from Canada working in the broadcasting of Premier League matches know how to write a good piece and show more common sense than almost any of their British colleagues in this case.

The future is now, ladies and gents. Remember it.

It's a good article, but only 2 United managers are unwilling to drop him. Fergie dropped him a few times in his career.
The only thing that will make van Gaal drop Rooney is a series of shite results. I'd say we're halfway there.
I'm keeping this for upcoming match threads.Rooney in on goal. Roooneeeeeeeeeeeeeey
Yeah, what is it with the English media ignoring his poor form? Always giving English players a free pass.

In my fantasy league with The Sun it has become a running joke between my friends because I have Rooney in my team and no matter what he always gets above a 7 rating so in turn has gotten me a shed load of points. When in reality you look at the average rating he gets by our fans on here and it's around 4
Yeah, found it interesting too. Just goes to show how good he already is.
MUTV showing clips of his debut vs Fener. Man, what a player he was. He should just retire before most United fans grow to resent him for being a has-been weight on our backs.
Read in the latest issue of UWS that he WAS going to be dropped against Everton but, LvG went against the idea as he thinks he's a great captain, who gives the team something extra just by his presence in the line up.....
He may have been right in that particular game, as it happens. Even a stopped clock...
True. He did score to be fair to him and should have had an assist too. The whole scenario puzzles me. Easily done I know but, it's just strange
Weird...did the conversation go like this?:.Rossi said:
LVG: "I'm going to drop Rooney."
LVG: "Don't do that - he's a great captain."
LVG: "Ok Louis, I won't."
LVG: "'Bye, Louis."
LVG: "'Bye, me."
"Both me....That's not me in bed with another bloke called Louis"
At 18 years old, Rooney was a terrifc player.
I'd describe him as a warrior. I'd definitely want him next to me when going into battle.
He basically matured very early and as such, he will also finish his career early.
I would liken him more to a 37 year old.
I don't think this debate will be over until Rooney is dropped for a run of games and people see how much our attacking play improves.
How can you create a host of chances if your only striker position is nowhere near the opposition goal? Or takes a bad touch anytime he gets on the ball?

how do they know stuff like this though, the staff are leaks now? if so it would be common knowledge throughout the squad if the captain was about to be dropped
I don't know but, they've been pretty much spot on with a lot of stuff the last few years now.
Also, as someone else pointed out on here, there were a lot of missing players at Rooney's birthday party. Obviously it's easy to read what you want into a situation though
Anyone else dreaming that he's rested tonight, Martial leads an exciting and dynamic line that scores 4 in the first hour before Rooney is given a run out on the 70th minute and it all turns to tumescent shite.... and the penny finally drops.

Alan McInally just said we definitely still need to start Rooney as he's our best player.
Pundits don't think before they speak do they?

It's bizarre how they build these England players up as kids, knock them down as soon as they do something wrong or don't perform as they should and then when they hit a certain age they become untouchable and enjoy a huge amount of media protection.
It's backwards. They should be protecting the young players while the senior players should be accountable for their performances.

At this rate we'll soon see Rooney in goal so DDG better watch out.
Herrera dropped again
When he is dropped and he will be dropped, no one will have the opportunity to say that LVG didn't gave him a fair chance.
The Teflon Don.
At what cost though? If we dont do well tonight, with WBA at home next(Who'be won 2 on the bounce at OT), our season could unravel.
Herrera dropped ahead of Rooney. SHOCKING. Its beyond a joke now, it really is.
feck off LVG.
feck off LVG.
I keep laughing about it. I've got my white handkerchief ready tonight.
He'll score tonight
His missus doesn't count
Souness tearing into him...."He doesn't even sprint anymore. Doesn't deserve to be anywhere near the team"
Is van Gaal going to burn him out anyway?
The only way that he vindicates this start is if he genuinely has a very good all around performance. Don't even care about goals from him. We just need to see if he can actually play well and actually justify his untouchable status.
Man Utd 1:0 Moscow
great start from Wayne...relatively speaking
He's been better today tbf
Not as bad as usual, which is something I guess.
