Nani's weak area is his corner taking, so Young coming should help. It doesn't change the fact that since Ronaldo left we only really have Vidic who attacks a ball in the air with his head from decent corners. We're a team mainly of short arses and the taller ones can't head the ball particularly well. Fletcher's generally good for a couple of headers a season, so is Berbatov, Hernandez in general play, but he's generally tightly marked on set pieces, but Rooney isn't given much space in the box when we have a corner. We also don't have the option of playing the ball out to Scholes on the edge of the box any longer.

Players which I can't recall ever doing anything with their head: Nani, Anderson, Valencia, Carrick, the twins, Evra, Evans.
