This man has been the heartbeat for United over the years, but his game is not up to the standards of a United player at the moment. I'm all for keeping him in the squad and keeping him the rotation, but Rooney's time as a starter has come to an end.

We've seen hints of it over the last two seasons (last season especially) but after performances this year, I just don't know how Mourinho can justify - to himself, the fans, the media, other players - starting Rooney.

His performance v Watford compiled into one video. If this was any other player, we would want them to be dropped until they prove that they deserve the spot in the team.

Rooney has done so much for the club. But that shouldn't mean he has immunity to being dropped and a free pass into the starting team. No player is bigger than the club.
