As far as games go, Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney has certainly had better nights. Having come off the bench against Championship side Middlesbrough, the 30-year-old was unable to effect the game and provide a spark to get into the next round of the cup.
Clearly in a slump, Rooney not only failed to ignite his team, but sealed their exit by missing United’s first penalty in a short shootout.
And it seems that Red Devils fans are short on sympathy at the moment, as a number of them took to Twitter to beg manager Louis van Gaal to move him on before he embarrasses himself.
Are they being harsh, or so they make a strong case?
