Goals are not the only manner to measure the importance and contribution of this truly gifted player. Rooney is world class and will only continue to get better. His pace work ethic, passing and team play are brilliant and his finishing is majestic. The problem of course is he just doesn't create enough scoring opportunities and thus, many feel he is not worthy of the world class label next to his name. Wayne and Man Yoo have both got to learn to contain his energy better and stop wasting him by playing him wide or in the role of an attacking midfielder or lone striker which is quite often the positions he plays even if it is not shown in the lineup sheet. He needs to have more confidence in his midfield teammates and play a more striker oriented role comparable to Drogba and Henry. He does not have to do it all anymore. United are now stacked with talent in the midfield so please Wayne stay up front where you belong. Rooney should be receiving killer through balls and not having to make the through ball. A more direct approach to goal is what's needed from Wayne, not the 6th midfielder role. If he plays a more striker only role, expect him to net over 20 goals just in the Prem alone and over 30 in all competitions. And he will still find the opportunities to create many goals for others as well. Now it's up to SAF to contain his youthful energy and enthusiasm and limit his role to an out and out striker.
