It has been a pretty depressing run for Rooney who could in the next couple of weeks become the leading scorer for his country as he needs just 2 goals to overtake Sir Bobby Charlton as England’s all time leading scorer.<\/p>\n
It was the 4th April that Rooney last found the net for Man Utd in the league with a goal against Aston Villa. on the same day Gomis was scoring two as the Swans beat Hull at the Liberty.<\/p>\n
The Swans will be hoping to keep Rooney quiet again on Sunday when the two sides meet at the Liberty as we head off in search of a third successive win against Louis Van Gaal’s side.<\/p>\n
Former England wide man Chris Waddle believes that some of the fault lies in the fact that Rooney is asked to play a role that his game is not suited to<\/p>\n
“Rooney doesn’t seem to have somebody he can play with and that is why they need to buy a top-class number nine for him to play behind.”<\/p>\n
“At the moment Rooney is lacking confidence. He is isolated and doesn’t look composed in front of goal.<\/p>\n
“He is physical, he’s got good pace and a great range of passes, which is why he’s best played behind the striker.<\/p>\n
“Van Gaal keeps saying he’s got four centre-forwards and doesn’t need another one. I think he’s got four number 10s. I don’t think he’s got an out-and-out number nine.”<\/p>\n
