After having spent a summer under the clouds of speculation, Wayne Rooney has seemed to have shrugged the idea of departing from Old Trafford. His form has been one of the very few bright spots for the champions this season. He is in the best form of his life. Yes, now you’ll realize the impact he’s had.
The 28-year-old has scored 8 goals this season, bagging 6 assists and numerous defensive contributions. Thanks to the injuries he has sustained, Robin van Persie has not featured as much as the fans would like him to, but Rooney has made sure his absence does not handicap United by any means.
He also dropped back in centre of the park against Aston Villa, making the midfield a manifold stronger. His impact was immediate and immaculate. He didn’t flutter by any means and often forced the opponents to change the course of their attack, forcing them to play on wings. There’s a room for forgiveness now, Wazza.
