Wayne Rooney

1 …Ronaldo is gone and Real Madrid upgraded in the summer. Look at the starting 11 for the game against AC Milan.

2 …Tevez is gone and Manchester City upgraded in the summer. Plus Tevez is the top scorer in the Premier league right now.

3 ….Manchester United’s real problem is off the field: DEBT. “Manchester United have become the first English club to crash through the £100 million profit barrier – while at the same time posting an £83.6 million loss.”

United’s overall debt rose to £521.7million and you can add to that the £225m in high-interest PIK (Payment-In-Kind) loans. THAT IS ALMOST £750 MILLION IN DEBT.

4 …with the massive debt Manchester United missed out on top players who recently switched clubs like:
David Villa
Mesut Özil
Rafael Van Der Vaart
Kaká
Wesley Sneijder

5 …Manchester United will find it hard to beat Barcelona, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Inter Milan and possibly Chelsea or Manchester City.

6 …What will United do when van de Sar, Giggs, Scholes are gone? Where are the star midfielders of the future? THE FORWARDS NEED TOP MIDFIELDERS TO SUPPLY THE BALL TO THEM. Carrick is a B rated midfielder, Anderson is yet to shine, you can’t build your future on Owen Hargreaves. Fletcher is a keeper but beyond him who do you want to compete with Xavi at Barcelona or Sneijder at Inter?
