The thing that I've learned to accept - funnily in Berba's best season for us - is that it will never be a perfect fit, him and United. Is he good enough? Of course. But there's a lot of Veron there, because he's got his style and we've got our style and those two don't match perfectly. He'll never be fully integrated in the team, we'll never change our style for him.
Of course it's still possible for him to contribue, and he did so this season, brilliantly. And I'm not going to be talking about what he did in big games or smaller games, how his scoring record looks good because he scored 5 against this or 3 against that. The best goalscorers get more goal against the weaker opponents. It's not rocket science. Leagues can be won on goal difference. He's a match winner on his day and been one quite a few times this year.
But it's not hard to see why Berba has been dropped more often than not recently. Hernandez gives us something he doesn't - pace, natural movement, making it hard for defenders, pulling them all over the place, sitting on their shoulder. It just complements the rest of the team better. That's not a slight on Berbatov, but he'll never displace Rooney and Hernandez is a better fit.
Where we go from here next season, I don't know. It's brilliant having a player like that around. But I'm not sure he'll be happy being that, not to mention the fact I don't expect Rooney to miss as much football next year.
