Ferguson never wanted to sell Rooney. Why are people spreading lies? Ferguson told fans that Rooney requested for a transfer but that he wouldn't let Rooney go anywhere. He even said he told Rooney to go think it over. Rooney also requested to be given a one match leave that period and Ferguson obliged him. I wonder sometimes if people don't follow news pertaining to this club even when SAF spoke to the fans.

......................

I dont know why people always want to blame Rooney. Rooney played well against West Brom and was very lively particularly in the first half. He made an intelligent volley to RVP but someone how RVP delayed his movement and allowed West Brom defender to recover. He made good passes and movements. Fellaini was the player who was off, and he has been since Chelsea match. Zouma, Yacob, etc can now win aerial duels from Felaini. And he has only played about 10 matches successively, tired from plying 10 matches in a row. Compared that with Rooney who has been over used from playing too many games in the midfield.

Rooney started the season as our best striker up to the QPR match. Then he was withdrawn to number 10 for Falcao and RVP upfront. From number 10 he was making assists and scoring against West Ham and Arsenal. Even against City he had an impressive outing on his return from 3 match suspension. After being our best player away to Arsenal, Rooney was dropped to midfield the following match due to injuries in that department. From the forwards roles he was used to, Rooney was moved for a rescue mission in deep midfield. We got impressive results, then later we dropped a few points but never dropped 6 points in two matches, not even dropping more than 5 points in 3 straight matches. Then people blamed Rooney's play in midfield just because United werent getting 100% wins, no body saw how much protection he offered in the absense of Carrick and 3-man defence. While Falcao and RVP lazied away in attack, Rooney was busy in the deep protecting a back three with a rookie defender, sometimes Evans/Blacket and McNair in the back three. Now we have lost three straight people can now appreciate Rooney's deep sitting in the absence of Carrick earlier in the season.



Fast forward much later, Rooney who is tired from a long season filling the gaps, people still want to blame him. The players who have been resting should be the ones carrying the team now. Rooney's mobility wouldnt be at optimal level at this time. However, Rooney is still the best to trick centre backs off position to create space than Fellaini and RVP. Fellaini was just there with two centre backs, clogging our attacking route with traffic and RVP kept sending the ball to him there. Fellaini was never going to hurt from there, he is not Benzema or Aguero. RVP is also guilty of immobility most times when he plays the number 9. Although he can be expected to shoot, even though most might just be tamed easily by the goalkeeper.



Emaprince and Tval, Seriously I was thinking this weedtaker is Coogar in disguise.

What we suffer today is the fact that Ferguson boys were not the possession obsessed typed and since the attempt to mix them with passers like Kagawa, Mata, ect there has been a problem to those who were already used to the old method of counter attack and running riot from the deep at defenders. Rooney, Nani, Valencia, Welbeck, Anderson, Fletcher, etc. We used to score many even in 2011/12.

This is the same problem Di Maria is facing. However, we should know that Man City did not build their team in one day. Even Barca, they were not as effective in 2007 or 2008. Even with mighty Ibrahimovic, they struggled beause they were still adjusting and blending players. By next season players like Di Maria might be able to cary the team and live up to their transfer tag.

And who are these CF you would recommend?

Lack of movement not actually pace from our midfield is also the reason we can't break teams when they park the bus. They play the laziest football.

we need pace through the middle from midfield to attack, that much is given. what we need to understand first is that LvG is building a process & so far we can see the direction - something alien in Moyes' tenure.

Carrick is not a mobile player by any standard but his passing range & pass-speed is a very solid base for creativity. his presence is not Alpha & Omega in the team but frees up Herrera further forward on the pitch whose intelligence in AM cannot be compared to Rooney. Blind is more mobile than Carrick but his pass-speed isn't the same.

people saying teams also park the bus against Barca & co forget their tiki taka only started paying dividends not too long ago, the same can be said of Spain as a country. if we had the usual RvP or Falcao or Rooney lead the line, it wouldn't matter if anyone parked the bus.

for the rest on this season
we can maintain good pace on the wings with di Maria & Young, while Mata & Herrera combines behind the striker. we can't have 3/4 of attacking midfielders play @ walking pace when opposing defences are tightly packed. di Maria can also take Fellaini's place from kick-off & let's see how his pace through the middle can freshen up things.

RvP was easily the best forward on Saturday tho.

SailorXY,

Herrera played in front of Rooney in part of the Chelsea match.

He played the AM against Everton in 90 mins.

Against West Brom, he joined the attacking play in the closing stages. All of them joined in the slow passing game.



Where was the intelligence you are talking about? These guys (Fellaini, Mata and Herrera) are tired from just a few successive matches handed to them. Although Herrera looks fresher than the other two.

Forget this your being 'fresh or not' just to discredit them in comparison to Rooney in the midfield.

1st, Herrera has always played behind Rooney since Chelsea match.

These midfielders have out played opponent's midfielders and reason teams now resort to parking the bus and hit on counter attack.

Our lack of movements in the mid is the fault of the tactics ie the coach and not the players cos most of these players have played in teams that played it fast. Fellaini in Everton, Mata in Chelsea and Herrera in Bilboa played with pace.

Our strikers are not also helping issues.

You need lots of movements, fast and intricate passes from the midfielders like Barca do when you play against teams that park the bus.

It is more diffcult to deal with cos of lack of space and reason movements with good passes is the way to disarray the markers.

I agree with sailorXY, but come to talk of it, CARRAS is not getting any younger, Who do u guys think would be a better replacement for him? As for me i'll go with Sven Bender of Dortmund.. Though he's a tough tackler, he's also as calmn as CARRAS.

Wayne Rooney is not better than ANY of our midfielders, I keep telling you this - it doesn't matter if this gore's your ox.

my point is Rooney should be a CF & nothing else. all our strikers are not what they once were.

look @ when RvP withdrew to the AM position, compare his forward passes to Fellaini vs Rooney's in the game ffs. a round peg in round hole will do the team a world of good as we aim to win our remaining games.

it is even better if Rooney swaps with Mata as things stand!

simple! Him de dia de claim utility player, why him mates them de score 30 a season, mata/di maria are de best players man.united have 4 for that AMF role, make rooney go just refresh him self cause next season him go face competition wey go put am for bench.

Rooney began the Dm role against Chelsea, then later it looked like a two CMs setting. Then later Herrera sat deeper. Even if you want to dispute this, you cannot dispute the fact that Blind-Herrera-Fellaini-Mata and Young handed us the embarrassing show at Everton. Everton were more purposeful in their movements against our supposed creative players. While our midfielders passed the ball around slowly and purposelessly, Everton passed us around with better intelligence and more swiftly. Them also countered our midfield so easily.

Everton midfield out played our midfield hands down. Forget the possession. We only passed around slowly and lazily. As for the freshness, it matters. Chelsea and Man City couldn't end the season with same way they started because most of their regular players ae fatigued. They however have the experience to see them through with their less adventurous play which give less room for opposition to explore. As far back as 2008, Tevez was able to identify the fact that Man United with a younger team would had the freshness to end the league well as opposed to Man City and Chelsea with aged players featuring regularly.

As for the lack of movement you mentioned, where I blame the coach for now is the way he refused to protect the back with his all attacking play.

RVP's forward passes to Fellaini were a wrong decision from RVP even though he meant well. All our good chances came from the moves from the wings. The centre backs were probably very happy to be seeing that- Fellaini receiving the ball directly in their shield.

The two hand balls by W.Brom defenders inside their box came from the right wing. The penalty apeal when Young was fouled came from the wing. All the forward passes from the middle were a gift to West Brom eventually. No real threat from there. Rooney made a good forward pass to RVP in the first half which could have easily resulted to a goal. That is how a forward pass should be made. Even Barca attack far more through the wings.

Rooney is our best number 10. Take it or leave it. What he has achieved there will ever be a dream to those guys you mentioned. Just look at how our midfielders were dusted in term of creativity and swift play by Everton. What movements have did they offer in that match?

the long & short is that our strikers have been woeful. the last time a CF scored was the Rooney knock-out celebrations. tell me how many games since then? we had 3 CFs on the pitch @ some point but Fellaini was still the furtherest & target man. that sums up what LvG thinks our strikers.

as for what Rooney's "achieved" @ No. 10, perhaps we can recall Paul Scholes...

Bender will be perfect, good pace too.
the possession style LvG is working on need faster central midfielders to guard against counter attacks

Is Rooney a midfielder? Not in my opinion. He lacks touch, silkiness and finesse as well as ultimate creativity(David Silva, Modric,Iniesta,Verrati,Fabregas,etc).Is he a striker? Yes bt in my opinion not as clinical and lethal as Suarez, Aguero, Costa, Ronaldo, Lewandowski)..He is not particularly world class at anything.In fact...Wayne Rooney is a conundrum, a mystery and its unfortunate that our team has been built around him because he always has to play (if he plays as a midfielder, he is not good enough for the style we want to play since teams av now decided to park d bus against us and we need people who can unlock wid creativity and if he plays as a striker he is not powerful and disturbing as Aguero and Costa for eg.He is like a mellow dog in attack).
WAYNE ROONEY IS BEYOND DESCRIPTION!!! I DNT KNW WAT EXACTLY HE IS.

Henriquez got 24 goals on loan this season & is 21. why can't he be given next season as back up striker?

You forgot to add that Rooney is not as clinical as almighty Falcao. Ukwu!!!

Every striker outside Man United is better than Rooney in you guys' opinion. Sometimes at this time last year, it was being mentioned how Rooney was rubbish compared to strikers earning 250k and beyond- Falcao, Ibrahimovic, Cavani etc. Many of you would have sanctioned a 60 million transfer for Falcao. Now Falcao is here. Some are still calling Kagawa that flopped and left.

How is Rooney blocking Mata? Rooney has not played the number 10 more than 5 times this season.

We dont need Bale, but Bale is a zillion mile ahead of Chicha in football. Bale is only having an off period. Chicha did nothing tonight. If Rooney play that way as Chicha did, he will be crucified on this thread.

But that your guy, Verane is a disgrace. He is not better than McNair or Evans.

It happens. It's always greener at the other side. Costa who is a crowned striker for Chelsea without distractions or real competitors to shake his confidence, went for a longer period without a goal.

In 2012/13 RVP went for about 10 matches without a goal. This is not how to read football.

ehe, I remeber something, the other day you said Hazard is not Chelsea's best player. I guess you heard what Fabregas said today. He said Hazard was the reason for their success this season. He went further to say he can be like Messi. This is the second time this season, Fabregas is stating that Hazard is Chelsea's hero. Mourinho earlier crowned Hazard as the best player in the EPL. The professionals players also voted him as the best ahead of English boy and 20 goals hero- Kane.

When I look at you guys sense of judgement in football, particularly as in pertains to players comparison, I sometimes wonder if you guys just take side just to counter people. It's somehow. I dont even know what to say sef.

abeg o,no just think am at all

James lost Madrid tonight's match when scores was 1-1. He missed an empty net from 3 yards. Madrid has lost it since selling Di Maria. Bale is not a tikitaka player. Bale would have thrived if Di Maria were still there tearing oppositions from midfield and starting a swift counter. Madrid always wants names. James is not matured yet.

Those of you whose daily dinner is to blame Rooney can continue. Rooney should take the blame for RVP penalty miss. Rooney should take the blame for RVP blocking Ashley Young effort on target which could also have been redirected by Rooney. Rooney should be blamed for Fellaini's sluggishness to react to a rebound. Rooney should be blamed for Young's wrong decision to stop a rebound instead of slotting it in first time. Rooney should be blamed for McNair's free header missed from mouth of the goal.

Rooney should be blamed for McNair's not taking charge of the situation that led to the free kick. Rooney should be blamed for Di Maria's wayward crossings. Rooney should be blamed for Mata's waste of all the balls cut back to him in front of box.

Rooney should be blamed for three goals conceded against Everton. He should be blamed for Herrera's refusal to shoot but choosing to over dribble inside the box. Rooney should be blamed for Smalling passing to falling falling Falcao even though marked by Terry, Rooney to take the blame for Falcao not being physical enough to allow him fouled by Terry.

Blame Rooney, blame Rooney and all your life problems will be solved. You guys can continue. Na una know.

as it is, I don't care about Chelshit & its condiments @ all. they're 2015 champions, season is done - nothing more to discuss till next season.

you are not getting my point. our forwards are not what they once were. its a very factual statement.

Rooney has been the better of the poor group of CFs with us: another simple truth. he may turn up with 35 goals next season, we'll still commend his efforts, but not now.

RvP & Falcao I'll recommend for release/sale not because their season were 'too' poor, but age is taking its toll.

I don't get what you always mean by "grass is always greener on the other side"; is it that we shouldn't buy younger players to replace the ageing/departing ones or we shouldn't improve the squad?? we can see how injuries & fitness issues decimated us this season, this squad is far better than this. on full strength the team can stand up to any out there, but see where we are?

Carrick is 30+, RvP is 30+, Falcao same, Rooney not far away, Young is 29, Valencia same; so what are you trying to say?

leave dem jare, they watch the back of TV, all the players they hyped flopped when united got them, even the coach now they have started dropping names again. Rooney has been under rated in United, he deserves a better club but time is no longer on his side. He scores goals, plays out of position they still blame him. Maybe they are wiser than the managers that play him always.

Elampiro, if person start to de argue wit u, de arguement no go finish, well i no cum here to argue with u, and 4 u calling james an amateur e show say u still d far 4 football, nd i no compare bale wit chicha, i jst tell u say Chicha is currently playing well dan bale.

Elampiro no one is blaming Rooney.He is our captain and we all want him to do well.However,Van gaal is currently playing 4-5-1 and will most likely play 4-3-3 next season when he has players to fit into his so called balance(a word I have never understood what the hell it means but keeps on being used as excuses).

Rooney is not a world class striker,neither is he a world class midfielder and we wud be in the Champs league next season assuming we qualify.I ask you a question..are you satisfied with our set of strikers(Rooney,Rvp,falcao) going into the champs league? or is that you don't want a creative midfielder?I like Rooney(one of my favorite players) but I dnt jst knw wat to wid him next season.Do you have any ideas or opinions?
