No, Sterling and Welbeck did well, Rooney time and time again lost the ball, won nothing, no work rate, poor passing, the only thing he did successfully from what I seen was his simple pass to Sterling for him to assist Welbeck's goal.
It's no co-incidence that when Welbeck came on last week for Rooney we livened up and he and Studge linked up well and the front three was full of energy and pace...yes I agree Welbeck shouldn't be a great player after 1 and a bit good games but he does play well with Sterling and Studge, there seems to be a good understanding, just I hope that Welbeck continues his good form for his country!
The last couple of years and especially this season I think Rooney has fallen way off the pace compared to how he used to be...yes he got 19 goals last season and was arguably MU's best player in a poor MU team that had a disastrous season, but even then he wasn't up to his former standards.
As I said earlier, true world class players consistently keep a high level of form and performance...ie Cristiano Ronaldo, Ronaldo, Messi, Falcao, Bale, Di Maria, Iniesta, Maradonna, Pele, Gerrard, Van Basten, Puskas, Cruyff, Ibrahimovic ect...players like those don't/didn't lose their hunger and form for club and country...Rooney has from what I have seen recently!
No point in trying to sugar coat everything to do with England Consilio although I admire your optimism, there are still a lot of improvement to be done and it's still not all rosey, we DON'T have any world class players, the only one we had has now retired but we have players who have potential to be such as Sterling & Barkley!! Whilst not having World class players INS'T such a bad thing as teams should win games and not individual's...having world class players that can play as a team and not for individual gain is an added bonus. If Woy keeps the diamond system and plays with attacking flair (by jove he has the players to do it) then all the better for us...until Rooney hits good form again then in my eyes he's not a starter!
