The 29-year-old England skipper opened his goal account at the fifth attempt following his poor start to the season.
Here’s how Man United fans reacted to Rooney’s hat-trick:
Rooney: “If I didn’t have a strong character, the criticism would have effected me, I wasn’t worried by it.”

Delighted Rooney scored it means LVG will not buy & will use Fellaini as a number 9.

Lots of praise for Rooney now. Amazing how a player can go from zero to hero in no time. Another example of the fickle nature of some fans.
