The season Rooney has only scored more than 20 in one season is that he changed his game when Ronaldo left, then he became the goal scorer, and he did a pretty marvellous job. He became the main man and stepped up.
The CL stats are still quite impressive tbh, and his influence on the team, whether that be United or England is great. Without Rooney or Gerrard England would be even worse, and because of their poor form in the WC, admittedly more so Rooney, we suffered.
Rooney is world class, for his impact. When he plays United and England are better sides, by a long stretch.
You can pull up stats for goal scorers yes, like V.Nistlerooy who will have a far better goal record, but that's it, he's a goal scorer. Rooney's game is more than that.

So youre saying that EVERY football manager and player that has ever called Wayne Rooney world class, I'm talking Ferguson, Bobby Robson, Mourinho, Ronaldo, Lippi the list really is endless, even Pele himself admitted that only his temper lets him down.
Hes a class striker and finisher, but his reading of the game, touches, movement everything about him says hes a World Class footballer whether some people like to admit it or not.

The thing is I don't like liverpool much but if I'm asked my honest opion about their players then I'd say Torres & Gerrard are class & without them they'd be nothing. I hate Tevez with a passion for how he's acted towards united but he's an excellent player & alought I begrugde saying that I will admit it. Why are you so blinded to the truth ste? Ask around why would so many people/players/clubs/nations disagree with you then?

Rooney will not be at Utd next summer.

He`ll be in some brass house...
