The start of the new season was rocky for Wayne Rooney.
One of the club's symbols almost did not score goals and eventually lost his place in the starting eleven.
Manager Jose Mourinho did not even register the veteran for the last "Premier League" match against Chelsea, although the forward was healing a minor injury and did not travel to London.
The English press speculates that this might have worked in the manager's favor and he will again decide to give Rooney a chance to shine in the match against Burnley, starting in the lineup.
If this is the case, the Englishman, who celebrated his 31st birthday this week, would replace Zlatan Ibrahimović, who is also not in the best sporting form.
In this season of the "Premier League", Rooney has scored 1 goal, Ibrahimović has scored 4.
