Wayne Rooney’s 2015/2016 Premier League season will be remembered for not scoring goals, as well as his injury woes, but Louis van Gaal isn’t making life any easier for the 30 year old.Rooney has been somewhat of an enigma at Old Trafford this season, frustrating fans throughÂhis lack of goals and causing those around the country to question his spot in the national team.While his form has meandered on to this late stage in the season, which has been punctuated by ‘knee problems’ and an absence of 11 games – his longest period of absence for nine years – it’s hard for England fans to justify excluding the country’s all-time top scorer from a competition that England very much have a chance to win.The issue that Rooney’s facing heading into May is that, except for his great record as a striker at international level, Van Gaal is playing himÂin a deeper midfield role for his domestic team, a very different position than he’d be expected to play in in France. And the fact is that while Rooney would undoubtedly add experience to a very young England team, his role in the XI would be as a goalscorer, which he no longer is at Old Trafford.

Van Gaal has only made clear his intentions to play Rooney deeper recently, but those intentions don’t put Rooney in a good shape to be England’s chief goal scorer in France this summer.

The reality is that Roy Hodgson has better domestic options in the midfield than Rooney so if he’s not going to play up front than he’s occupying a selection spot that would arguably be better off filled by a specialist position (whether it be midfield or a goal scorer up front).

It will be interesting to see whether Rooney is reunited with his role in the attacking third, or if Van Gaal continues playing him deeper, like he did against Everton at Wembley on Saturday, because it was hard to justify his spot up front when he wasn’t scoring any goals, let alone if he’s moved deeper permanently.

Whichever way the cookie crumbles, it’s a tough decision to make for the England selectors: choose a man who’s awfully out of form or drop England’s top all-time scorer?
