Nothing can stop the man at the moment and the time has come to rank him among some of the greatest players to have worn the shirt. We can certainly admit that he is carrying the team this season and that places him alongside the likes of, Robson, Best (in the 70s), Cantona and indeed Ronaldo.
Would we be languising without him at the moment? I fear yes.
What are your thoughts?
Mark, whilst I agree that we’d certainly be languishing without Rooney this season, I think it’s still a bit early for Rooney to be placed in the same conversation as Best, Robson, et al. What happens at the end of this season and the World Cup will go a long way towards placing him there though.
What I really like about this man; he is down-to-earth, never-say-die attitude, works his socks off and the willing mentality which in born.
I agree that he’s carried the team along this season but I would really hope that he does a genuine support or partner as soon as possible to relish him to the next level.
Let’s face it, he would have a had a better goal tally if he one. We all feel it under the belly.
Rooney has certainly been in sensational form of late. If he hadn’t been substituted against West Ham, he could easily have scored his third hat-trick of the season. Yesterday was Denis Law’s birthday. Rooney is certainly the only player in sight who has any chance of rivaling Law’s Manchester United scoring record. It’s amazing to recall that, in 1963-64, Law scored seven hat-tricks. Follow this link for Denis Law‘s Manchester United career record.
