Rooney is no more alone
Nothing is over until it is over! Manchester United managed to finalize a deal with Tottenham Hotspurs in the final hours of the transfer window to secure the signature of the long awaited striker Dimitar Berbatov.
This comes as good news to Wayne Rooney who has been under intense pressure since the start of the season following the goal crisis at the club.
In an interview, Rooney stated that playing the supposed role of a number 9 was not his choice and that Ronaldo’s absence was a big blow to himself and the squad in general.
The English striker revealed it was no problem for him not to score a lot of goals as long as Manchester United enjoyed success.
After failing to hit at least two goals in 90 minutes since the 2 – 1 win over Portsmouth in Nigeria, the inclusion of a new striker was vital for Manchester United.
Now, Berbatov has come to lighten the heavy load of criticism carried by Wayne Rooney. The 22 year old forward could finally have the chance to play in his preferred position of assistant striker.
