3. Is Wayne Rooney Still a Forward?
When you think about the potentiality of Lewandowski joining United as a fifth striker, perhaps the thought "too many cooks spoil the broth" springs to mind. It's happened at Real Madrid, they have assembled a collection of the worlds greatest players before but instead of playing as a world class team they have played as world class individuals. That's the problem posing Manchester United - how to balance so many class acts and keep everyone happy at the same time. If you think about it some more, Wayne Rooney isn't necessarily an out and out striker anymore, and has been accustomed to playing just behind the front two in the past in an attacking midfield role. Rooney has more than enough ability to play in midfield, and has the physical build to create a commanding presence for himself in the middle of the pack. By dropping Rooney into midfield, United would also be solving the Paul Scholes problem - namely how to replace him.
