I'm watching this in Morocco. Every local I speak to about United, the first player they mention is Rooney. He's still our biggest draw in these far-ish flung markets.
Then Ibra, then Mourinho.

As a striker you go for goal there.
Get him off for Pogba and I can see us winning this
He hasn't. Hes done Buggar all on the ball.
Can't wait to see this back of this turd. Enough is enough.
Yeah he just seems to try and look busy without actually doing anything
He is done
Even his work rate seems to be gone

It's a shame he has fallen so far as is only 31. Hopefully for his sake and ours he goes in the summer and we can keep his early years in our memory.
Some glimpses of class, but looks shot overall.
Looks like he is tied to the waist with an imaginary bag of stones.
Had his moment, couldn't hit it hard and low past Cech.
Sadly nothing to him these days it seems. Can't even cross a ball...

Should have passed.
Hows this supposed to get us points?
Started playing as a 16 year old in PL, having no longer rest from football so it's more understandable he's done than many others would at 31.
So sick of him.
TBF, all those came on the back of previous perfomances.
This Rooney is far from that one.
If he keeps on taking corners we may as well just forfeit them. Can't put a decent cross to save his life.
He's become completely pointless now.
Should have checked and let him go to the floor. Pass to mata or lift over goal keeper. Very simple chance.
Please take him off, it´s just dreadful to see and he can´t hardly move. When Scholes had lost his legs at least he could influence game like a deep lying playmaker and spread balls around, Rooney has none of that and his game was always about power and now that´s gone there´s very little he can give.
No one uses this argument anymore.
It's not. It's an observation. Fire him into the sun for all I care.
Barely recognisable that's he's Wayne Rooney these days. For his wages I'm struggling to think which PL clubs would sign him.
Incredible when you see Ronaldo bagging consecutive hat-tricks and Rooney can't even cross a ball.

It's sad seeing him like this having seen the fecking tank he used to be in his prime. He'd make a tackle, carry the ball, lay it off and be on the end to finish it. Now you see a limp to poke at the keeper even in one in ones.
Can you imagine Real, Bayern or Barca paying 300k a week for a player with the same performances as Rooney this season?
What do you mean? It's more understandable that he's done as he played at 16 in PL most games. The Ronaldo example is wrong as he got here at 18 and was rested a lot during his first season while Rooney did play all the time.
Can't wait until summer when he fecks off. Been a great player for us but past it & brings nothing to the side other than constant disappointment.
I'm at the point where I'm worried about th counter attack it would start.
All the off season toffee apples and fag ash he's absorbed over the past 15 years probably hasn't helped either.
Ronaldo has actually played more senior games.
For those of us who remember Rooney at his best, what he is today is a terrible shame.
It's just gone out of him.
I'm pleased that Pogba has put to bed the myth that Rooney is good at passing, too. Rooney tries those daft passes from deep but they're about as threatening as Heather Mills in a marathon.
Which he has no excuse for, he's been fit for weeks now, he should be in peak shape but he looks like he's carrying a bit of weight and he was blowing out of his arse after 20 minutes. I don't care what anyone says about "sacrificed his body over the years for us", it's absolute nonsense. Ronaldo has played over 100 games more and just look at the difference between them. Rooney is where he is now because he hasn't looked after his body over the years. He couldn't sacrifice the beer and ciggies and it's costing him and us now.
Very true, and he could have done a lot better between the games and off season. He's not a pro that way and one of many reasons I'm no fan anymore.
Because Ronaldo wasn't playing before he arrived in England.
He showed really good pace, anticipation and work rate to get the chance. But he was poor once he actually got there.
spent force
Absolutely drenched in sweat.
He looks fecked

Or maybe because of the, eh, you know tempo? Not that hard to understand.
