Manchester United

[danperkins]

Rooney has 216 goals and 113 assists in 442 games for Man United and 40 goals in 95 games for England . That is some pretty impressive stats.

Fantastic talent... How anyone that had consistently produced those figures over the years can be considered average or just decent is crazy stuff.

He is a giant tool though and a stroppy *******.

Very similar goals to game ratio as Andy Cole and Dwight Yorke. Playing up front for Utd isn't the hardest job in the world.

[Chazza]

United fans weren't exactly heartbroken when he put in either transfer request.

[danperkins]

Rooney is a much superior player than Cole ever was. Not a huge fan of Rooney and is over rated like every other English footballer... but he certainly is a hugely talented footballer.

[Deano]

Where's this from Deano?

One being a MEN journo the other being someone in Nike, both confirmed the same. Media trends and analysis is my job so i get he odd titbit every now and then, and they are usually very, very right.

Overrated and hugely talented in the same breath.

Not consistent enough to be called world class as we saw in the WC, but on his day he is an incredible player.

Cheers Deano.

Rooney is not even close to brilliant. He could well be the most overrated player in the history of football. Wilfred Bony also scored 17 goals so its hardly incredible. I wouldn't be happy with my "best" striker only getting 17 including penalties.

RVP is past his prime and has max 2 good seasons left. He's also injury prone

They will no doubt be a better side, and challenge for top 4- but we are better.

That title belongs to Mr Beckham

[Shaggy]

Ask most match going United fans what they think of Rooney.

completely agree and Yup definitely not world class.
