The goals he scored, and the space he has, is down to the other 9 outfield players playing towards his strength. Rooney's progress has been hampered due to his unselfishness to play to Ronaldo, out of position, etc. In fact, Ronaldo didn't even have to bear any defensive duties during his tenure with us, as all he has to do was to stay upfront to wait for the ball. Currently, we do not have that luxury, but we will revert back to the traditional 4-4-2, where the goals will be evenly spread out. We will still be among the top scoring team in the league, this i have absolutely no doubts about. This is the season which will prove to be the break through for a lot of players. Rooney will be the player we had expected, Berbatov among the top scorers, Anderson to be a regular scoring midfielder, and the two young strikers to established themselves as squad players in Manchester United and u21 strikers.
