Beats, I always enjoy your footballing knowledge and it's clear your clued up but I can't believe you don't rate Rooney, even in the hole. For United he pulls the strings when he's there and I've seen him produce some ridiculously nice passes for England when dropping deep - His passing range is so underrated. I know he doesn't perform on the same level for country as club but he is our only world class forward on his day.
World Class Striker and World Class Midfielder IMO. England are lucky to have him- our best player by a million miles

For united he does but in England he looks lost all the time, he is like reverse Townsend lol an even for United

This season he is proving a point and is fired up but under fergie he was getting worse and worse. I still don't think he reached the level of the season where he won United the title by himself with 20 assists from Valencia.

I remember watching him under Fergie against Barcelona in preseason and that was the moment I realised that they were going for RVP, because before that it never made sense to me but he was so unfit it was a joke
