By the mere fact of him standing there relative to the goalie, IMO, is interference as (and Karl pointed this out) the goalie doesn't know that he (Rooney) is standing in an offside position or not, so has to ALSO anticipate that he might play the ball. If that's not interference then I don't know what is.
Interference how? The keeper dived after the initial shot. If he had set himself for a shot from Rooney you may have had a case ... but as usual ... I am right and you wrong.
Fast Forward to 2:15 and remind me of your opinion on that goal?
Rooney did not play the ball, made no attempt to play the ball, was not blocking the keeper's view. How you get offside?

A flying GUNNERS and a resilient BoyU?
...well my money is on my GUNNERS! Suffered one unfortunate whapping at the hands of BoyU aredi! ...It should be all about evening the score!!!
Which whapping that? The 8-2? You still have that on your mind dude?
What are you talking about?
...unless that ref thought the 'keeper was the one calling offside...and his - the 'keeper's - call was 'not offside', can that ref be thinking Rooney was not interfering!
Boss that 'keeper anticipated Rooney's shot! ...it never came as Rooney 'pop im'/fooled him with his allowing the ball to run!!!
'Keepers are always anticipating actions of opponents with opportunity to play the ball.
OFFSIDE! ...that was not called! ...but that is the way the cookie crumbles!!! Some are called and others are not!
The goalie had a clear sight of the ball. Rooney was in no way blocking his view nor interfering with the play.

No way that was a fair goal..Smh...If Arsenal allow Manu to beat them if Manu goes on to win this game. I would clearly say Arsenal need to overall their team Manu game is Laborous and terrible on the eyes. ...Real terrible...I am wondering if it's the over playing of Fellaini up front. But Sir Alex team was never this dull.
Fellaini's Goal came from a push off also...SMFH
Fi a man that is always complaining how MU this and MU that ... you always ensure to find time to watch the Empire. How so? When MU beat Arsenal at Emirates did you call for the team to be overall? Oh wait ... you forgot about that?
The good point, for the first time this season we came back to win a game. Now that we've gotten over that hurdle, let's see if we can win on the road in the EPL.
He moved out of the way of the ball, but his presence distracted, i.e. interfered with, the goalie and even unsighted him. The ref erred IMO but with offside you never know how a ref will interpret the interfering with play part of the law.
Paul Marin,my team isn't anywhere near suitable form but there is one thing being overlooked by the so-called pundits,Man U strikers are very efficient as it pertains to converting shots on target to actual goals.
What is missing to Arsenal fans is their team has pretty much gifted possession to the opponents,that is a problem when you face a side that does a lot with so little.
It would be nice if RvP scores three against Arsenal.
