You really are overstating his performances of late. It's quite crazy. It makes rational discussion of the player very difficult, equally as people who give him nothing but stick without recognizing when he does well.
There is NO agenda against him. He's a United player and this is a United forum, we want to see him do well.
He HAS been poor this season on the whole, that much is undeniable. A purple patch in January and some half decent performances against poor sides will not change the fact he failed to contribute a single point in the first half of the season.
I mean:
Really? First on the team sheet over Martial, De Gea, Smalling and Luke Shaw? Come on man. A key player for the next few seasons he quite clearly will not be, all the evidence suggests otherwise no matte how much you refuse to see it.
He hasn't shown enough to prove he has what it takes to be a top class midfielder, he was dominated by Cleverly and Gibson in the second half of the FA cup semi-final a few weeks ago.
However, he displayed great heart and drive in the final. It was refreshing to see in a side which has lacked it all season.
What I'm trying to say is making comments like 'clearly one of our best players' is just silly and really doesn't help conversation at all. Then ignoring all criticism accusing posters of having agendas doesn't help either.
Someone said what will Mourinho do with Rooney and so I replied predicting that he will be the first name on the team sheet in midfield for Mounrinho because quite clearly managers see something that apparently you lot don't see. There's no way Mounriho is dropping Rooney unless he plays like he did up till Christmas. If he plays as he has in 2016 then of course he will start and deservedly so.
You can say all you want about there not being an agenda but it's simply not true, the reason I can say this with certainty is if he was a new signing from Spain putting in the showings from the last 2 months the only thing I would read is how brilliant he is and just what we've been missing for the rest of the season in CM. But because it Rooney and people don't like him over his contract dealings, or the way he talks and acts they judge him ridiculously highly to areas that most players in the world would not achieve.
I can quite happily have rational discussion as long as the criticsim is rational rather than people jumping on a bandwagon because it's become popular to bash Rooney for every small mistake. Take Rooneys performance yesterday, he certainly misplaced some easy and simple passes and to some I've seen them say that's a shocking performance... Well clearly they know nothing about football then, because afew misplaced passes doesn't change the fact that he was the only player willing to try something with the ball;pass forward, run with some purpose,get stuck in. That's what we have missed in midfield not the abilty to keep every pass perfect and get 100% pass accuracy, that's LVG philosophy brainwashing. Is Rooney a top class CM probably not, but he's certainly good enough for where we are currently. If we signed some players in midfield to complement him then we would have a very strong midfield indeed, but I'm fed up of coming on the thread and seeing every other post as, he's crap ship him to China, it's disrepecteful and stupid.

Too true.
