Rooney was in his eyeline to some degree. The law is an ass p - at least that interpretation of it is

as it is going to another player who could kick it in the other direction. The goalie can't be expected to know whether the player will be given offside or not and is therefore impeded in his ability to make the save by the opponent in an offside position and interfering with play.

A player in an offside position is only penalised if, at the moment the ball touches or is played by one of his team, he is, in the opinion of the referee, involved in active play by:

interfering with play or
interfering with an opponent or
gaining an advantage by being in that position
