Manchester United fans want in-form frontman to sort out the ‘Rooney problem’

How do you solve a problem like Wayne Rooney?

By replacing him, of course. The frustrations of Manchester United fans with the England striker's lack of form reached new heights in today's scoreless derby against City, 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 Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, the Borussia Dortmund forward who grabbed the spotlight with a well-timed hat-trick against Augsburg today. 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 transfer target. https://twitter.com/chris_willo/status/658323197696286720 https://twitter.com/RubenOliveiraa/status/658323526651400194 https://twitter.com/SamuelSN_/status/658323623715950596 https://twitter.com/uchenna_stanley/status/658324053275578368 https://twitter.com/_The_Chief_/status/658324439533158400
