Why would you put one of the most gifted footballers in the world on the bench!!?? Rooney is a genius, he's been halted with injuries.. He'll be player of the year this season, I'm sure of that!!

I've disagreed with you a lot, but I contrast that here.

Agree 100%.

There's much much more to Rooney's game than scoring.

I am unexcited at all and don't wish it to happen. Certainly not for 25m. Obscene and hyped-up price.

Besides the common complaints cited here, do you see a fighter and winner in him? I don't. Reminds me of someone who missed the last penalty against us in the last game we played last season - good player but when the going gets tough... the tough can't get going.

I am more hopeful on Manucho, Santa Cruz or Huntelaar.

Im horrified at some of the responses in this thread.....
Berbatov would be the missing link to making United even greater.
I have been banging on about berba for so long and Im sticking to my guns.
He is Cantona-esque and very very gifted and thats all I have to say.
