Granted a couple of Rooney's PL assists are bogus, I still don't see why people are so incensed about him. Jose is just trying to put a team out there that can win games, and Rooney is the best option. Martial has been struggling and has a horrible attitude despite some mismanagement from Mourinho. Mkhi is hurt. Young, Mata, and Depay are inferior options. So even though Mourinho knows that Rooney is an overpaid player who will rarely beat his man 1v1, Rooney has good goal scoring instincts, is a willing passer, and tracks back. I'm sure Mourinho knows long term either Martial needs to figure things out or Rooney needs to be replaced. Can't do anything about it until the next couple transfer windows.
