What is your problem? There is nothing wrong with what he posted. A prime Rooney would change our team completely, he posted it in thread about Rooney after he scored a great goal. What is the point of posting shit replies like yours is the question.Right, so a Rooney of 10 years ago?
Yup, a prime Best would be great too.
What is the point of posting shit like this?
And this is surprising? We are nowhere near the side we were when he joined us.The saddest part of this is, an 18 year old Wayne Rooney wouldn’t touch us with a bargepole currently.
Legend.

I honestly did not mean that as an insult (although I see how it could be interpreted as such). I still adore the man. And his many chip attempts (some of which went in)!Ye because those type of goals happen weekly.
Bradfordreminds me of scholesy against (was it) West Ham
I said it’s said. Why would it be surprising.And this is surprising? We are nowhere near the side we were when he joined us.
I apologise then. I remember when Rooney was at United. A lot of fans couldn't wait to critisize him, which was a surprise given what he achieved at the club.I honestly did not mean that as an insult (although I see how it could be interpreted as such).

Why? Tactics were never SAF's biggest strength and he was talking about tactics here. Best coach, not best manager.https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/man-utd-hero-wayne-rooneys-17277960
It should be physically impossible for a United fan to read these quotes by Rooney and not role their eyes.
I agree that tactics were not Ferguson's biggest strength but Van Gaal's tactics when he was United manager were shambolic for the most part.Why? Tactics were never SAF's biggest strength and he was talking about tactics here. Best coach, not best manager.
To be fair, when Sir Alex named the world class players he had managed, he didn’t mention Rooney. Scholes, Giggs, Ronaldo and Cantona were the players he chose.https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/man-utd-hero-wayne-rooneys-17277960

Predictable because he's the only manager who kept playing him despite his crap performance and btw I don't think that's the first time he says this.https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/man-utd-hero-wayne-rooneys-17277960

And LVG tactics were beyond crap here.Why? Tactics were never SAF's biggest strength and he was talking about tactics here. Best coach, not best manager.
To be honest, our tactics have been crap ever since we sold Ronaldo! Games were boring even under SAF his last few years.And LVG tactics were beyond crap here.
And Rooney played here before Ronaldo was sold, point?To be honest, our tactics have been crap ever since we sold Ronaldo! Games were boring even under SAF his last few years.
I would say LVG is probably a better coach, but not manager! 2 completely different things. SAF bought in Quireoz and Mulensteen for tactical reasons
He said "coach" not "manager". LvG was on the training ground ,SAF left the sessions to the other coaches. He is the manager not the coach. No big deal here's.https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/man-utd-hero-wayne-rooneys-17277960

Exactly. Rooney has said many times that he believes Ferguson is the greatest manager of all time. Nothing to see hereHe said "coach" not "manager". LvG was on the training ground ,SAF left the sessions to the other coaches. He is the manager not the coach. No big deal here's.
This.Predictable because he's the only manager who kept playing him despite his crap performance and btw I don't think that's the first time he says this.
LVG sold our entire attack to give Rooney a starting position up front and then shifted him to midfield to keep him playing for the sake of it and fecked up the team.
So yeah I'm not surprised at all.
Ofcourse. You would think people know what's the difference between coach and manager instead of getting emotional for no reason.Exactly. Rooney has said many times that he believes Ferguson is the greatest manager of all time. Nothing to see here
LVG at United was better tactically than the SAF's United Rooney played in, that's I have seen it all I guess.“It didn't work for David Moyes and they [Manchester United] then went for the experience of Louis van Gaal.
“He was tactically the best I have worked with—in terms of setting you up in a shape defensively and everyone knowing their roles.
Just when I thought I like him again.https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/man-utd-hero-wayne-rooneys-17277960

Point? Giggs, Neville, Scholes, we're much younger and were world class. So any system we played would have worked! After Ronaldo was sold SAF signed complete dross like Valencia, Obertan, Owen, Bebe, Buttner etc.And Rooney played here before Ronaldo was sold, point?
Any tactic SAF applied here was far better than anything LVG applied here it's honestly beyond discussion.
And to add to your point, SAF had been at Utd 26 years, LVG was here 2.5 years.Point? Giggs, Neville, Scholes, we're much younger and were world class. So any system we played would have worked! After Ronaldo was sold SAF signed complete dross like Valencia, Obertan, Owen, Bebe, Buttner etc.
SAF adapted to football by employing specialists in modern football as assistants and coaches.
Yes, the tactics deployed by LVG were boring and required a lot of patience. But when they did get his philosophy, we played arguably better football than we have served up in 10 years, even in the SAF era when he had employed Phelan as assistant. Those 5 games where we played teams off the pitch like Barca did to us.
SAF was taught a lesson three times of modern day football by Barcelona twice and once by Bilbao, which most top managers now implement.
SAF was the master of the counter attack, nobody can beat him at that! But I seriously don't think he could thrive in the modern day tactics and style. LVG is probably better equipped for modern day football than SAF.
People think that the transfer strategy Ole has with buying young English talent is the best way forward, when in reality we will completely lack technique and guile on the ball, and we will rely heavily on pace which in modern day football is easy to counteract.
