Why 15 Goals Is a Realistic Aim for Wayne Rooney in 2015/16 EPL Season

Wayne Rooney has accepted the burden of being Manchester United's main goalscorer this season.

Rooney said, on 20 July, per Mark Ogden of the Daily Telegraph:

My best position, and I have always said it, is as a striker, getting into the box. And the two seasons I have really done that as a lone striker have been my two best goalscoring seasons. It is where the manager and myself see my best position.

Hopefully I can get a good run of games and repay the manager and score goals for the team, but it [pressure] is obviously on me to do that.
