Basically, his best postion is behind the main striker in any formation. Also, I have no problem with Rooney playing on the 'wings' in a proper 4231. In fact, I'd play him in that left wing position in my strongest team. It's certainly not a normal wing spot where he has to constantly hug the touchline and just bring in crosses. In fact, he played there in what was one of our greatest ever performances in the 7-1 demolition of Roma.

But obviously we do not want him wide in a 442 or 451 formation. That is where he is seriously mis-used.
