Still got it, I think he could have had another year or 2 in the prem before moving to America. He obviously wouldn't have started every game but could have done a job for someone

I watched a few games and he is dog slow and hardly runs around anymore.
However, it is clear that he has class and amazing skill still. His passing and shooting is still world class and possibly he is just that good he can look impressive in the MLS against lesser players. But prem players would eat him alive, their skills levels are close to his or the same and they are fit enough to run him down on all occasions.
I also saw Nani play and he looked a class above as well.
MLS players may well run all day, but most of them are League two standard and it shows. Rooney was world class in his prime and his England goal record proves that.

One of England’s greatest players should still be in the top flight
And Bowles is onside, Swinburne has come rushing out of his goal , what can Bowles do here , onto the left foot no, on to the right foot

David Beckham?
Rooney was/is a far better player than Beckham

Good goal. No more than that. Swing of a boot.
A bit more IMO he looked up immediately when the ball fell to him and without hesitation or a touch launched it over the keeper from 70+ yards into the net .Pure class but probably 1 in 100 chance of going in . Agreed he is out of shape but his football brain is still pretty sharp and the MLS is League 1 level at best just way better weather
The third proper goal he's scored from inside his own half.
Always was a brilliant player, never ever could comprehend why he was so unpopular with so many England Fans. Then, you could say the same about Paul Scholes. Is it coincidence that by far the best two players we've had in recent years were considered rubbish and disliked by half of the England fans? I think it says an awful lot about the mentality of many English people. It wouldn't happen in any other country accept perhaps America.
Pele: "If Scholes was playing with me, I would have scored so many more."
Lionel Messi: "At La Masia his name was mentioned a lot. He’s a teacher."
Cristiano Ronaldo: "When we were in training, I used to do a lot of tricks which hardly any players at the club could do. Once I was showing my skills to Scholes. After I finished, Scholes took the ball and pointed to a tree which was about 50m from where we were standing. He said, I’m going to hit it in one shot. He kicked and hit the tree. He asked me to do the same; I kicked about 10 times, but still couldn’t hit it, with that accuracy. He smiled and left."
Zinedine Zidane: "My toughest opponent? Scholes of Manchester. He is the complete midfielder." Sir Alex Ferguson: "I think Paul Scholes is the best player in England. He’s got the best skills, the best brain. No one can match him. There isn’t a player of his mould anywhere in the world. Paul is irreplaceable."
Luis Figo: "I’m star-struck when I see Paul Scholes because you never see him. On the pitch, you can’t catch him. Off the pitch, he disappears."
Gary Neville: "I wouldn’t swap Paul Scholes for anybody. He is quite simply the most complete footballer I have ever played with. He is the best."
Sir Bobby Charlton: "I have no hesitation in putting a name to the embodiment of all that I think is best about football. It’s Paul Scholes. In so many ways Scholes is my favourite."
Rio Ferdinand: “For me, it’s Paul Scholes. He’ll do ridiculous things in training like say, “You see that tree over there?” — It’ll be 40 yards away — “I’m going to hit it”. And he’ll do it!. Everyone at the club considers him the best."
Patrick Vieira: "The player in the Premiership I admire most? Easy — Scholes."
Edgar Davids: "I’m not the best, Paul Scholes is."
Roy Keane: "An amazingly gifted player who remained an unaffected human being."
Pep Guardiola: “Out of everyone at Manchester United, I would pick out Scholes — he is the best midfielder of his generation. I would have loved to have played alongside him.”
Cesc Fabregas: "He is the one whose level I aspire to. He is the best player in the Premier League."
Thierry Henry: "I can’t understand why Scholes has never won the player of the year award. He should have won it long ago. Maybe it’s because he doesn’t seek the limelight like some of the other ‘stars’."
Lest we not forget, Scholes stopped playing for England prematurely because he was played out of position and booed by half of the supposed England fans. Unfortunately, many British people still let the media control how and what they think no matter how dumb it is.
