You know, alot of people imply that United have to play a 5 midfield to cover their weaknesses but if you think about it, the best midfields have 5 players; take Barca for ex. an almost perfect team and they have an all time great in Xavi.
I think Rooney shouldn't be playing upfront like he is, he should be playing Ronaldo's role with Berba up top and Valencia or Nani on the otherside. The only reason he plays Wazza there is because he doesn't want the media moaning "it was his fault for replacing Ronaldo and Tevez with Owen".
What really annoys me is that three years ago we had the perfect foundation to build the ultimate team on, a team that rivals the treble team. Again, take Barca, they've had ineista, xavi, messi, valdes, etc. for the last 5 years and very smartly went about building around them. We could have done that but instead SAF decided to focus everything around Ronaldo while the rest of the team stagnated - Rooney the perfect example here. What baffles me most is that SAF admitted he knew deep inside that Ronaldo would be leaving and yet didn't make the appropriate plans until too late.
