A role he's managed to do well since Ronaldo left on top of scoring vital goals.

the team in 2010 and 2012 was built around Rooney as the main goalscorer though

both seasons we were close but no cigar


the 3 seasons either side of them the main goalscorer was not Rooney and we won the league

now people may say it's all a coincidence, and that we were very close to winning 7 leagues on the trot and I agree completely.

but no-one can possibly argue that using RvP as the main goalscorer hasn't improved us - we're winning league by 13pts ffs

Rooney has had decent games this season, but he's been used in positions where we either have better specialists or should have better specialists. if he can't get in the side as the main goalscorer and specialists are used elsewhere, then where does that leave Rooney if he can't accept not being 1st pick, that's the question? United need to get him to sign a new deal, or they need to cash in, that's the bottom line.

This. And much of that is in his own hands - which is what is so frustrating
