'Teach Marcus Rashford please' - Wayne Rooney shows he's still got it with stunning free-kick in Man Utd legends match as fans claim he's 'better than our current players'

The former England international handed United Legends the lead against Celtic Legends in the 41st minute as he found the back of the net with a curling free-kick through the top right corner. As Rooney showed he has still got it, Red Devils fans hailed the club's all-time highest scorer while claiming the now-retired player is still better than the current squad of players.

A fan named Syed Hamza wrote on X: "Current Rooney still better than most of our current players."

A user named Jake Davies lamented the lack of players like Rooney and Carrick in the current team as he wrote, "Rooney with a free kick, goal top corner. What I'd do for players like Rooney and Carrick in this current MUFC side. Both ooze absolute class."

A handle named Name cannot be blanked urged Erik ten Hag to sign Rooney. He wrote, "Ten Hag sign him up."

Brian hailed the United icon as he wrote, "We will never get his material again."

Mike wrote on X, "Get him in our current team asap."

Hashir Sher urged Rooney to teach Marcus Rashford how to score goals as he wrote, "Teach something to Rashford, please rooney."

Rashford, once hailed as one of United's brightest stars, has come under fire for what many perceive as a lack of effort on the pitch. The 26-year-old forward, who was instrumental during the 2022-23 campaign with an impressive 30 goals in 56 appearances across all competitions, has experienced a dramatic dip in form since then.

Ten Hag's men, who have suffered two defeats out of their first three league games, will be back in action next weekend as they take on Southampton on September 14.
