I was looking around the Manchester United message boards this morning and I cannot believe what I was reading, some Manchester United fans (if you can call them that) have turned on Rooney.

Ok, Rooney might not score loads of goals but the work rate he puts in and the assists he gets is fantastic. Here are what some United fans are saying on the official Manchester United forum.

I have had enough of Rooney... How can Tevez work so hard and yet Rooney can't put the ball in the back of the net, all he does is return passes (only God knows who he expects to score)... Rooney is no more a finisher!... We just proved to Europe that without C Ronaldo, we cannot score more than a single goal (hardly)... Man Utd vs. Newcastle 1:1 Portsmouth vs. Man Utd 0:1 Man Utd. vs. Zenit 1:2 We now score only sigle goals... If we don't get a striker/finisher soon, our season is doomed! Rooney wuld be a good substitue, cos right now Tevez is in a higher class than that of Rooney...

no he is not good and really good idea to sale him or trade him with barbatove, he has been playing as wide striker (more like midd fielder) that is why alex moved him to the back left.. alex knows he is not connect striker.. manutd always perform better with tall strickers like Ole, a. cole etc. if iam alex i would sale him NOW and buy hunter and barbatove.. then manutd front would scare all teams

I cannot believe what I have been reading from so called Manchester United fans, give the bloke a break
