His display in the insipid Manchester derby was appalling.
The highlight was a block on Nicolas Otamendi in the 86th minute which prevented the Manchester City defender from getting his head on Aleksandar Kolarov's free kick.
Not only did Rooney contribute practically nothing, but his position as central striker meant that Anthony Martial, United's most dynamic striker, was isolated on the left flank, unable to make any real impact on the game.
Unsurprisingly his performance drew anger from fans and a general sense of bewilderment from journalists watching the match.

@MiguelDelaney @Mike_Loudmouth He still is or at least was a heavy smoker. No big mystery regarding his loss of 'oomph'.
