Wayne Rooney has been given an 86 rating for his shooting on FIFA 16, the same number as his former strike partner Robin van Persie. Combined with his 88 rating for shot power, the England captain will still be the main source of goals for Manchester United on FIFA 16. In real life, the player hasn't scored in ten Premier League games and is struggling to play up front on his own as part of Louis van Gaal's 4-2-3-1 formation. A hat-trick against Club Brugge in the Champions League qualification stages has saved Rooney's goal scoring record this season but the frontman has no goals in four games during the Red Devils' current campaign.
