Wayne Rooney
One of the most promising talents in the Premiership today, it’s hard to remember that Rooney is just 21 and already carries the striking burden for Manchester United and England.
Has been criticised for his form but that has always been because a lot has been expected of him.

Would A Change In System Bring A Change In Results For Manchester United?
Once more, it’s a tale of Manchester United shooting themselves in the foot.

Instead, I’m looking at the aftermath of what may as well have been a squad holiday for England to South Africa, with a few…
What’s Wrong With Wayne Rooney, And Why Should We Care?
For a man who has built a career on an ability to stand out from his English footballing contemporaries by displaying not just a puff-chested, thick-necked grunt work-rate but also a consistent predilection for oft-competent touch and technique, the Wayne Rooney we’ve been forced to endure over the past few months (the Bulgaria game apart)…
