Unfortunately it's true, he either needs to get himself in form or 'pick up an injury'.

Problem is he's worth wayy too much money not playing for us, someone said it a few days ago, he's the biggest manufactured English footballer at the moment, and not playing England's all time highest scorer would cost money.

I've always been a fan of Rooney but when he's not in form other players need to be given a chance.

THat would be me saying it :p

I'm not a huge fan of his, at his best he was pure power and pace, he got the ball and ran to goal. Now he gets the ball and if he still has it after the first touch is more likely to pass backwards or sideways than even attempt to run forwards. 99% of the time when he passes or runs forward he now loses it. He's currently 1/10th of the player(generously) he was at 22-23.

Commercially England and Utd play him because he's worth too much in sponsorship and gets paid enough that it seems too ridiculous not to play him. Absolutely should have let him go to Chelsea what was it, 2, 3 years ago. He'd be currently weakening Chelsea rather than hurting Utd, have saved them 10's of millions factoring in transfer fee and wages for 2-3 years they could have saved.
 
Not going to go crazy with the hype as its early days, but Martial is defiantly a cool and calm finisher, something we have been lacking for years. Just hope his progress isn't ruined by playing in bad positions to accommodate Rooney.
