Premier League 2016-2017

He should be but I think he has been burnt out, remember he has been playing pretty much non stop since he was 15/16 and playing at tournaments every 2nd summer. His legs appear to have gone and Fergie seen this coming near the end of his time as manager.


I get what you're saying mate I do but lampard, Gerrard, giggs ( not tournament football ie world cups euros ) played consistently better and for a longer period. Gerrard came onto the scene at a similar age granted he's not won what Rooney has but for me a far far superior player

True bud, difference is they were all midfielders to begin with and it was easier to adapt into new roles where as Rooney was primarily a striker or no 10 and has been moved to midfield and doesn't do anything more special than your average midfielder can already do. I also get the impression the guys mentioned above may have looked after themselves a bit better.

Maybe moving from Man U to somewhere like Everton might revitalise him because in footballing terms he is still quite young.

721 games in 14 years/168 months.

So he's played over one game, every week, for 14 years.

Yeah I think so cause let's face it he's not got the shape of a modern day footballer..... Sunday league absolutely!! I think you're right a move might help him refind some form but where. His wage demands vs his ability would make narrow down the teams that would take him so I feel he either has to lower his wages or start packing for China!!!! I just hope Rashford doesn't go down the same route.

Its Mourinho in a big game, of course it'll be turned into a shitfest.

Hopefully Liverpool score and force the game open.
