Yeah I don’t think it was just the drink that aged Rooney.
Some are just genetically predisposed to aging quicker than others. The lad looked like a 30 year old when he was 17, so it’s little wonder he looks like a 50 year old in his thirties.
In defence of the manager a lot of players that have been integral to recent success are missing at the moment for various reasons, e.g. injury (Stones, Palmer, Saka, Bellingham) or simply loss of form (Foden, Grealish). Others are retired or...
….love midfielders getting those tap ins. It’s hard work continually hitting the box but the rewards are there.
Looks like he might have come off the bench but maybe he has captains arm-band on. Lukjanciks in goal.
