Manchester United fans are fed up with Wayne Rooney.

Frustrations with the England striker's lack of form reached new heights in the scoreless Manchester derby, so naturally thoughts on Twitter quickly turned to shipping Rooney out in favour of a new striker. And flavour of the month appears to be Borussia Dortmund's Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who grabbed the spotlight with a well-timed hat-trick against Augsburg. https://twitter.com/OptaFranz/status/658317632966414337 The 26-year-old Gabon international took his tally for the season to 13 with his second treble in the space of three days, after he also walked away with the match ball against Qabala in the Europa League.
Aubameyang has been linked with Arsenal in past transfer windows, while the arrival of ex-Dortmund boss Jurgen Klopp at Anfield could make Liverpool a player in any transfer battle.
But desperate United supporters have made it clear they want Louis van Gaal to make the forward his top target.
