In the scenario Rooney is injured who takes over the duties? And I am not just talking at Manchester United but also in the England lineup. It seems every time Rooney is unavailable Capello comes out with a mental front line up. Gerrard isn't a complete number 10, I would suggest Fat Joe Cole, but he's fat and out of form. Rooney is almost irreplaceable, no wonder all the blame for failure is placed on his shoulders.
Berbatov at United. I'd like to see Nani or Ando play there, but I don't think Nani could spread the ball out like Rooney can, where as Ando could, but I think he would struggle with the goal scoring aspect. Based on the Leeds game, we should try De Gea out.
De Gea would go to town on the opposition, no one does a long range pass like the boy. I also thought of Nani but a crazy thought says try Young at the position, both for United and England.
Young played there for Villa last year, I think he's better suited out wide, but it is a pretty viable option. De Gea would be my number one choice.
