THE WAYNE FACTOR
According to
the latest poll i recently conducted on my own, it seems that a few
majority of Manchester United fans are starting to think that the legendary
Manchester United Striker Wayne Rooney is starting to approach the age where
his ability to create goals diminishes drastically. England Striker Rooney
Thirty years old is currently one of Manchester United and England's all time Record
goal scorer but in the last two season Rooney's quickness and productivity in
front of goal have been called into question. Also with the inclusion of fast
young attackers like Anthony Martial, Memphis Depay and new Old Trafford
sensation Marcus Rashford into the squad some fans have become so confident
with the the new look of the team that they have started to suggest that Rooney
should be sold this Summer.
Rooney signed a
four year contract extension in the year 2014 under former Manchester United
Manager David Moyes for a reported sum of £300,000 a week which means that the Red
Devil and England striker to remain a Manchester United player for the next two
years and since then Rooney has been involved in over atleast 400 goals manchester united has scored either he is
burying the ball in the back of the net himself or he is helping his teammates
grab a few goal for himself.
So with this
statistics in mind, not including the energy Rooney injects into the team, his
creativity and Rooney Willingness to do whatever the teams asks of him and his
ability to play in multiple positions, why is it that with all this positive
qualities in Rooney's resume, why is it that some Manchester United fans are
still suggesting that when has reached his limit as a Manchester United player
and should be sold this summer.
Quit frankly i think Rooney should be convinced to remain a
Manchester United player till he retires because not only is Rooney a great
leader that brings out the best on his team mates both on and off the field but
also because of his passion for Manchester United football club and fans . I don’t
think Manchester United will ever be able to replace a player like Rooney if the
club runs the risk of looses the a player of Rooney's caliber prematurely so i think the fans should adjust to Rooney's
current style of play. Rooney might not be the same prolific goal scorer when
he was younger but Rooney still has the ability to adjust his game and help
Manchester United achieve more success in the future. Rooney might not be
fastest or youngest striker in the premiere league but Rooney is still prolific
in front of goal.
