The catch is the only way Rooney gets fit is by playing. He aint going to get sharp on the bench.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
All the more important we do well now.
No use dropping Rooney to show him we're capable of winning without him of we need to bring him on to bail us out.

He's always bad against everton though, and even so wayne Rooney never got dropped before... Unusual.
Thank Christ he's on the bench, thought he would be. He clearly wasn't fit at Everton.
He'll still get playing time today, hopefully when we're a couple up.

Well, we thought he would be on the bench today.
It's a bit surprising, because Fergie doesn't always drop players such as Rooney after one poor game. But now we've got van Persie and Kagawa, so I hope people are not going to cry.

Wanted to see Rooney with RVP. Maybe he has a knock?
If Rooney is dropped- that should clearly be bad news for Nani who was worse
He'll still probably play today.
This is clearly a ploy to stop me from doing well at FF...
Brilliant decision if true. This will be good for the entire team, including Rooney himself. Nobody is undroppable now.
Rooney dropped according to SSN.
C´mon people it's Fulham at home, we clearly don't need our best players in this one.. no need to get dramatic..

Glad Rooney's dropped in a way, he was way off the pace the other night.
We absolutely must win.

I love it when a plan comes together.
ffs, Rooney captain fantasy football
Wouldn't have dropped Nani. Yeah, he was a waste of space at Goodison Park but running rings around Fulham should have been right up his street.
Rest of the team is fine.
Rest of the team is fine.
I like the look of that lineup 
Great looking team. Defence is as good as it can be considering.
He can make sub appearances like any other player out of form, hes not God.
A real right back! Yay!
Carrick centre half again.
Well, we tried.
Well, we tried.
Rooney in squad. Nani not in the squad. Some ass was kicked after the Everton match.
I think this is as balanced line up as we can have.
I love how we can casually drop Nani, Rooney, Hernandez, Scholes and Welbeck.
Fergie's taking no shit this season clearly. Nani and Rooney out.
Exciting team that

Good. Now let's see if it motivates him to perform better the next time he starts.
Subs; Lindegaard, Evans, Rooney, Giggs, Henandez, Welbeck, Scholes
If I were Wootton, I'd be frustrated (a bit).
I took a part in pre-season tour, we're playing at home, against Fulham, with four centre-backs out... and I'm going to watch it from the stands.

Büttner not involved in the matchday squad.
Evans on the bench.
Delighted that both Nani and Rooney are benched, have argued for this the whole week on here.
