Most Man United fans seem to agree that Wayne Rooney’s current form doesn’t – or shouldn’t – guarantee a first-team berth.
Louis van Gaal is sick of being questioned about his refusal to drop the player, but the supporters are becoming increasingly fed up with the special treatment that is afforded to their captain.
Our bros over at JOE.co.uk decided to ask the fans who – if anyone – should be in the frame to replace Rooney come January’s transfer window. Here are just some of the responses…
@JOE_co_uk PATO, great form and United need a fast forward. If he can stay fit he is as good as anyone out there.
