Drop Rooney already; Pogba is a big waste of money and Zlatan is a flat-track bully.

I couldn't sleep and got up at 3:30 AM to watch Watford - United. Watford's win was thoroughly deserved and enjoyed by me.

I still don't understand why Rooney hasn't been dropped years ago, both for Man U and England. What do/did SAF, Moyes, LVG, Mourinho and Hodgson see in him? Additionally, he's on £300,000 a week, when I wouldn't pay that for him as transfer sum. The guy is a complete passenger.

Man U need to look at getting themselves put right in the long term. Worth remembering that it took Alex Ferguson a good few seasons before he started to lead them to trophies.

Sadly, Man U fans have become that used to winning that I just don't think they have the patience for long term rebuilding.
