Wayne Rooney may have ended his goal drought playing up front for Manchester United on Wednesday night but I still think his best position is as a No10.
He’s at his best when he’s in the thick of a game and too often when he plays up top he gets isolated and you don’t see a lot of him.
He would be better playing with a striker and if United signed a top striker before Tuesday night, it would help get the best out of him.
People always expect too much from him because he came in at Euro 2004 and did so well. I think England’s only chant at the time was: “Rooney! Rooney!”
We expected him to go on and be the world’s No1 player which he hasn’t become. He’s one of the best players in the Premier League and has been outstanding but people wanted him to be the next Diego Maradona. To even get anywhere near that, he has to play at No10 for me.
