If Manchester United produced a “Best of Rooney” video right now, it would be a rather short video. He has yet to fully justify his exorbitant price tag.
But my god, you’d be forgiven for gushing like a love-struck teenager after seeing his two goals against Middlesbrough in the FA Cup. Stunning doesn’t begin to describe them.
The first came courtesy of a fantastic Gary Neville through ball which Rooney despatched with a brilliant chip. His second goal was just as astonishing. Saha headed on a long ball and Rooney volleyed it into the net over Schwarzer with deadly precision.
He’s already scored 11 goals this season and he’s aiming for 20.
He’s only 19.
