PIC: Even the Manchester Police are mocking Wayne Rooney’s terrible run of form of late

Wayne just can’t catch a break at the moment it seems.

Calls for Manchester United captain Wayne Rooney to be dropped following a series of below-par performances reached a crescendo over the weekend after another disappointing individual display in an insipid team performance against Crystal Palace.

Rooney is not the only United player looking somewhat out of sorts at the moment, but it has been a while since he has looked anything like his old self and there is a growing number of Manchester United supporters who feel he should relinquish his place in the starting XI.

Not every fan would state their feelings as diplomatically as that, of course and even the Greater Manchester Police joined in on the p*ss-taking of the United captain with a tweet from one of their departments last night.

Not surprisingly, the tweet has since been deleted, but not before screenshots swept the Internet and sparked a fairly divisive reaction.

This won’t exactly do wonders for Wayne’s fragile confidence ahead of a crucial Champions League encounter with CSKA Moscow tomorrow night.
