Peaked in 2004, never quite fulfilled his potential, now manages an awful football team.
Never quite fulfilled his potential? Won everything possible at club level and on many occasions carried a national team full of superstars.
Think he did alright really.
Sort of his point though. He was never considered comparable to Ronaldo, Messi, Ronaldinho et al, even though he was gifted with undoubtedly similar levels of talent.
Never came close to winning a single thing internationally and never proved himself outside of one league. Even in that league he was rarely thee stand out talent. Ronaldo of course eclipsing him during his Premier League stint, and Rooney only appearing to be top dog in the league for a very short period after he left to Madrid.
Sorry but Rooney was the best player in the Manchester United team imo. Not saying Rooney is better than CR7 overall but Rooney was when at Manchester United.
Paul might come close to Rooney
If that was really the case, I rather think Madrid would have taken him and not Cristiano.

Paul as in Scholes or Pogba? Because there are absolute levels between the 2....
It's easy to forget how good Rooney was on his prime, seriously go back and watch some of his highlights and you'll see how World class he was. Never quite lived up to the hype for England but was amazing for United.
Ronaldo was younger and cheaper, even a £80 million transfer was cheaper than Rooney would have cost, Remember Alex Ferguson valued him at over 100 million and would not let him go for less, at the time he said he was irreplaceable, he said it to stop teams even putting a bid in and it worked, Madrid were not going to waste time trying to get a player that would be nearly impossible to get.
Ronaldo has shown he has more natural talent, but Rooney was the heart of the team, when the team started to lose belief he was the one who would refuse to give up and in turn boosted his teammates moral, you can't easily replace that, a lot of teams don't have a player that, my team Newcastle United have no one with that ability.
I don't support Man Utd, I don't even like them before anyone says I'm a fan talking rubbish.

At his best he was world class and unplayable no doubt, however he had as much talent as Messi and Cr7 but was never close to their league.

No one’s saying he wasn’t incredible. Just saying he was so incredible, that it’s a shame he never reached the levels he was so obviously capable of. Should’ve been right there with CR7 and Messi (who are still the best on earth), but unfortunately while those two are still above everyone on the planet, Wayne seen his days out in America and The Championship. His star didn’t burn as bright or as long as it should have, given his talent.
I feel old i remember watching him in the youth cup against Villa in 2002 and he was a beast for a 16 year old. Everyone was bigging him up even then, he was totally outshone by the Moore brothers who played for us. I thought at the time it would be them going on to make it big. I was sorely mistaken.
People saying Rooney never fulfilled his potential 😂😂😂🤣🤣
Give over. Won EVERYTHING at club level. Ended Manchester Utd & England's top all time goalscorer. Just sounds like anti Utd folk dribbling this nonsense...

Get some pepper with all that salt
Maybe it is because i am not from the UK, but i truly feel he could have gotten more out of his talent. I dont rate him as an ‘icon’ personally. But could be that for me he was under the radar more. He is less of an icon as lampard or gerrard or giggs for me. (Obviously more an icon than owen)
Peaked in 2004, never quite fulfilled his potential, now manages an awful football team.
You either don’t watch football or are about 12, cause he is arguably England’s greatest ever player. And I’m a Liverpool fan.
He was truly world class.
Was World Class in 2004, did pretty well after that but never reached the potential he could have done. Should've scored far more for England. Not close to England's greatest player. You are either 12 or don't watch football. I'm a Forest Fan 😘
What would he need to have done to hit potential?
- He won it all.
-England’s record scorer
-United record scorer

Should've been in the conversation for best player in the World for a decade. There's no denying he had a very very good career, just feel he should've been at the World Class level for far longer than he actually was. Trophies with your club don't always tell the whole story. His England record will be broken quite comfortably by Kane.

Owen was once quite comfortably going to break the England scoring record

Also scored a goal at 16 for Everton in the Prem, don’t gotta be from the UK to know Rooney is a Man U & England Icon / Legend.

Owen was always made of biscuits.
That he was, but by the age of 26 in 2005 he had 35 England goals, at that point you’d have said he was comfortably going to break the record.
Rated E For Everyone.

Rooney was a very very good player. Nothing wrong with that. He suffered from overhyped expectations and "white Pele" comments.
Gifted with excellent ability but not dedicated or professional enough to reach his full potential as a player.
Nowhere near as gifted as CR7, Messi. Laughable suggestion.
I remember that 92 gold card from fifa 10! Unreal but it doesn't half make me feel old! 😂
Imo if they release an EoaE card, it should match his highest rated card. Ill take a 95 rated Rooney

Well he was at one point? At peak obviously not
