Paolo Di Canio slams Manchester United's 'in decline' Wayne Rooney
WAYNE ROONEY is 'on the decline' for Manchester United, claims Paolo Di Canio.
Wayne Rooney has only managed two Premier League goals this season
The England striker is having a woeful season by his usual high standards, scoring just two goals so far in the league.
And the captain is no longer a guaranteed starter it seems, after being benched for the 2-0 defeat to Stoke on Boxing Day.
"United have lost their English spirit and have not found a more international dimension.
"And then there is Rooney - he also looks like he is on the decline. He has lost the energy that made him great.”
