Manchester United:

Wayne Rooney: Goals: 10, Total shots: 72, Shots per game: 3.3, Accuracy: 49%

Robin van Persie: Goals: 11, Total shots: 53, Shots per game: 3.3, Accuracy: 46%

Despite playing in a more withdrawn no.10 role, Rooney has still shot on goal over 3 times per match, which makes a mockery of the suggestion he is just a creative midfield player now.

Arguably as expected RVP has been more clinical than his partner, scoring one more goal, with nearly 20 less shots.
