one game proves nothing.

Truth is he's some way off being world class. Even if he'd had an absolute blinder today and United had gone through it wouldn't change the fact he's some way off the best players in world football.

34 goals from the number 10 position the season before RVP joined

This season joint 4th top scorer and second in the assist chart, again, from mostly the number 10 position, not the number 9

Couple that with the incredible workrate and selfless team play

Over the last 5 seasons, he has hit double figures in goals and addists all 5 seasons - No other player in premier league history has ever achioved that.before

England qualifying group for the Brazil World Cup

Top scorer in group

Wayne Rooney - 7 goals

Second place has 4 goals

World Class lewandowski - 2 goals

WNM

Always was for me mate

I find it hard to believe people can say Rooney has offerered nothing in the last 3 years. When in one of those 3 years, he hit 34 goals despite playing as a number 10
