DW20, "he has given 12 tears, mainly loyal service". Correct but "mainly" hides a few things doesn't it?

Shappy is right, there is little middle ground, he is either brilliant or useless. Despite defending him manfully, jred does try and debate often without people entering into discussion.

I have a simple view, if he is good enough pick him, if he isn't dont.

Last line tony. That's it, if he is good enough he plays. Very simple.

Oops, pressed send by mistake. LVG picked Rooney when he wasn't playing well, possibly due to little option but I hope Jose has the balls yo Dr anyone playing poorly - Rooney, Ibra, Martial. The player I really want to see starting right now is Rashford.

ajh that is middle ground, pick a side. I also like how u changed what dw10 said, bcz watching him play for past 2-3 years have definitely brought utd fans to those.

I agree, if he is the best player for a position play him, I just think we will now, more than ever, have better in the positions he plays. But I think he will still play regardless.

Is this ANOTHER rooney debate jesus crist.

Any player not playing well should be dropped IF (big if) there is a replacement able to step in without weakening the side.

A bad rooney is still a solid 6.5 performance rating IMO.

Also says a lot when ibrahimvic openly says rooney is the best strike partner anyone could have. He knows rooney will help feed him and do the running for him.

I agree Tony no one should play when they aren't playing well. Last season under LVG he was constantly out of position plus next to nobody played well.

My only problem is Rooney is made to be a scapegoat at times but the new boys with the fancy names get no criticism at times. Di Maria was a perfect example, he was pants but for the first 6 months of the season it was all about how crap Rooney was but Di Maria was constantly defended as he was 'adapting'.

I think Mourinho and Rooney will work well together and I expect him to lead from the outset this season.

So we all agree, pick the players playing well. We shall see how it works out, hopefully most will get a new lease of life and step up.

I think i would like Rooney as a partner up front too, as you know he'll run and run and you won't have to as much. I can't see Zlatan running too much, so Rooney is his ideal partner.
