Wayne Rooney Yet to Have a Premier League Shot on Target in 2015

Wayne Rooney is closing in on the all-time scoring record for Manchester United but has ground to a halt in 2015.   

The forward has played a full 450 minutes in the Premier League so far this year and has yet to register a shot on target:

"

As per Squawka, those numbers look even more damning on closer analysis:

So is this a reflection of Louis van Gaal playing him deeper or a sign of a worrying dip in form?
