Rafael will still bench Valencia on return to fitness as far as full back is concerned. Valencia is playing cuz van Gaal doesn't use wingers, we all know Valencia is now worthless when deployed as an attacking winger.

Rafael has been well since new year. He is now our 4th right back.

1. Valencia
2. Phil Jones
3. Mc Nair
4. Rafael.

how can you compare Kane with fabregas n Costa? fabregas n Costa have proven their worth before now, Kane is just sprouting.

Costa and Fabregas have not proven their worth as much as Rooney. They need to work harder.

Leyqute:
Moyes is an asswip.e if Ronaldo was a utd player when saf left we'd still finish 7th.

Football is not 1+1. Who ever thought Klopp would be fighting relegation. Moyes was a victim of circumstance. Our players were aged and some others were given chips to eat by SAF backroon staff and it killed their body system. They were being given weak exercise fitted only for University players. Kagawa became more indomie.

Leyqute:
.

Until Rooney's performance improves his salary should be cut down

Go and cut it down.

RVP and Falcao salary should be cut down to 1/5th of Harry Kane's salary.

European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 10:52am On Feb 08, 2015

Harry Kane 35k per week,
12 EPL goals in 14 EPL starts (only 1341 playing time).
7 goals in 7 Europa matches.
3 goals in 5 CAPITAL1 cup

Yet we have strikers who earn between 250k-265k who have wasted the highest number of clear cut chances this season in the EPL. Kane goes to hunt for his balls, involveS in build up play and finally fishing chances while single handedly displacing defenders.

Nairaland Man United thread focuses on Rooney. Rooney this, Rooney that.

If it were Rooney played the striking position for us all the time as has been consistently given to Van Persie and Falcao, we would by now be hearing "sell Rooney, sell Rooney and buy Harry Kane". Harry Kane was on 20k/week, just increased to 35k. No body is talking about certain guys who earn 250k and 265k because they are not Rooney, 'the British pampered boy'.

A man's heart is desperately wicked. Man's inhumanity to man.

They said rooney would sit on the bench when LVG comes around, yet he is the captain, valencia and young won't play, yet they play regularly, what manner of fans on nairaland

Rooney, Valencia, Jones... we were told would be benched. Nani, Kagawa,Chicharito, Zaha, Cleverley, Rafael, Evans, we were told will be the regulars. They don't always listen to me. I keep telling them practice is a different thing all together from theory. At this time last season they were fighting me on why Kagawa, Fabio and Chichi weren't playing. Today we know better. Kagawa did not score a single goal in 1172 minutes of EPL football. He was only lucky he was in a set up in Dortmund that favoured him way back. Or may be SAF backroom staff actually killed him as they did to many of our players.

how many goals/assists per minute is di maria doing, RVP also, Rooney is still united's best player, he didn't become 3rd all time EPL scorer by fluke, when rooney's selflessness is his own undoing, how many goals per minute is gareth bale scoring, rooney this rooney that

Goals+assist. Rooney every 138 mins
Van Persie every 156 mins
Mata every 184 mins.

Rooney is playing deeper. If he were to be a striker he should be in the region of 15 goals at least. This is why I am yet to understand why Rooney is so much hated on this thread.

Leyqute:
We all know Rooney is being over paid *na stooopeed Moyes cause am. Even CR7 and Messi don't get as much as he does and they play better than he does.

We should be grateful to Moyes for keeping Rooney. If not for Rooney we would have finished 15th last season and become unattractive to world class players like Di Maria and Falcao.

Remember, it was SAF who paid him 250k. Rooney has alway been highly paid, despite that Messi once said Rooney was grossly underpaid and very humble to be getting such low salary.

Do you know football more than Messi, Mourinho, PSG, Madrid, Barca, etc

Leyqute:
For rooney to get 300k/wk he should be scoring a goal/assist every 20mins. So far this season Fabpass n Costa have outperformed Rooney, they should be getting more than he is getting.

Using your logic, Harry Kane should earn higher than Costa and Fabregas. Ukwu!!! Kane is the only EPL player who has 22 goals in all competition this season (. He doesn't even always play as a striker, unlike Costa.

Rooney has 131 goals in the EPL (All time 3rd best behind Shearer and Any Cole)
Rooney is the highest in all time goals+assists in EPL history.

Kane just signed a contract of 35k/week, has to wait for his time to even earn 100k. Costa and Fabregas will have to wait for their time to reach Rooney. You pay your dues enough to be so honoured. Na moimoi?

You no know ball.

you'll soon be stoutly defending how he's on a mission to rescue our shitty defence!

But Van Gaal has implied Rooney and Mata are better. That Herrera has to improve because he is competing with high level players. Gaal said Herrera is also in competition with Di Maria.

Paddy McNair can be Manchester United's regular right-back for the next 10 years, according to Louis van Gaal.
"It is not only Paddy McNair who has impressed with his development, as I have given a lot of chances to younger players. But Paddy McNair has developed himself very well, not only as a central defender but now we are giving him the chance to develop as a full-back and he did it very well.
"He has done it already in the second team [Under-21s] and has done it now at a higher level in the first-team. Maybe he shall be the right full-back of Manchester United for the next 10 years, you never know. He has the chance."

there's nothing like Rooney hater or whatnot.. what I'm saying is that Rooney has got absolutely nothing on our midfielders to warrant him playing midfield for this team. if he cannot make the front line, then he should fall to bench - that is my opinion.
#kalas

Rooney is the best in that position for the now. That's why he is chosen. He can make front line, just that he is on a rescue mission in our shittyy midfield.

smh
so a team that parades van Persie, di Maria, Rooney, Mata, Young, etc; Jones should be taking corner-kicks & its proper to you?
anyway, you WIN

Dani Alves takes corner kicks. Van Gaal must have chosen Jones as a 2nd back up to take corners from the left side. Honestly his corners against Cambridge were some of the best for us so far.

Just try and remove sentiments and you will see clearer.

elampiro don kill me o...If u be Van Gaal dm come put Fab,Costa and Hazard 4 ground,u go take Hazard?

Nothing on earth or the the universe will ever make me take Costa and Fabregas over Hazard.

Players like Hazard are extremely hard to come by.

Una no play ball sef? Dribblers like Robben, Hazard, etc are Hazard to find. But you like easily get such scorers like Lewandowsky, RVP, Muller, Benzema, Wilfried Bony,Chicharito etc.

It's no news that Rooney is bad in threading that defence splitting through ball. We've seen countless of usesless trials.

Rooney is worth £420k/wk? Even Costa n Fabrepass aren't getting that much.

I givup!

Tell me any reason why Costa and Fabregas should earn close to Rooney? You think wages is arrived at by mouth? Hazard will be the first to earn that much.

domination with a loss?

against leicester, rooney left his attacking duties and he was the one that gifted leicester the equaliser. instead of owning up to his irresponsibility, he turned the heat on a teenage defender.

rooney is a liability.

The ones he has said by falling back to help outstripped this one slightest of error (as assume it was even his fault) by a zillion miles.

If Rooney played we'd ve lost the match! Rooney can't play fast football, he's a slowpok.e. Even during counter situations, he can't thread a through ball to save his own soul, he only knows how to ping the ball to the RIGHT WING.

Lies. There is no counter we have made without Rooney being involved.

Rooney scored from counter against Arsenal. Rooney assist a counter for Di Maria's goal against Yoevil. Rooney started and provided an exquisite counter for Di Maria against Arsenal. Rooney has given perfect through balls to RVP to face one vs one with the goalkeeper.

Rooney is the most intelligent footballer in the world. Providing counter since Ronaldo, Park and Tevez era.

Leyqute:
Rooney is not living up to the amount of money he crops weekly

Rooney is underpaid. The moment he won the best striker in the world in 2011, he already was due for £300k.when you connsider his consistency for over a decade, he deserves 300k. When you consider the amount of shirtshe has sold for us over the years and his image for our brand, he is worth £420k.

Some Chelsea fans are also ingrates. When I was praising Ivanovic, a certain Ibime went following Coogar blinding in his useless argument.

How many times will Ivanovic save Chelsea in crucial matches? He dealt with all threats and scored. The other day Jesus Navas was eaing Azpilicueta for dinner.

Man City got a late equalizer against Hull at Ethihad.

Silva is nothing without Yaya Toure. Man city is nothing wihout Yaya Toure.

City unable to win a game in 6 consecutive games wihout Toure.

City got a lucky draw in Toure absence. Toure returned and City won. Toure left and City have not won in further 5 games.

We need a midfielder like Toure to bring the best out of Rooney in the hole.
