Things didn’t go Wayne Rooney’s way today – until the very last minute.

The Manchester United captain kept giving possession away quite early into the match against Hull and slowed down his team’s attacks on their opponents on several occasions at the KCOM Stadium.

The 30-year-old striker struggled to make any positive impact for his team in the first half of the game, and fans found it incredibly frustrating.

Twitterati didn’t hold back…

Rooney has lost it 3 times within 23 seconds. I can't believe what I've just seen. My eyes are burning.

Rooney's worst game by far so far.. Really struggling in possession and looks unfit.

Rooney dispossessed three times in 30 seconds there. Needs to be much more alert if he's to continue at 10. #mufc

Rooney too slow moving off the ball, too slow coming to it, and not good enough in tight spaces. Problem at a number 10. #MUFC

However, despite predictions he would be substituted sometime in the second half, Rooney ploughed on and then at the very last minute, things changed.

The England international helped Marcus Rashford secure 0-1 victory for his team and fans couldn’t be happier:

GOAL Hull 0-1 Man Utd (90+2 mins). On his 1st #PL appearance of the season, Marcus Rashford nips in to tap home Wayne Rooney's cross #HULMUN

You HAVE to credit Rooney there. Brilliant assist.

Don't know what to make of Rooney being awful but coming through with a moment of productivity each game.

Rooney slows the attack down. Simple as that. That said, even a broken clock will eventually display the correct time.

And as this person sums it up:

Wayne Rooney is slowly becoming a football paradox. Bad when you need him to be good, good when you least expect him to be.

All’s well that ends well, right?
