losing Rooney would be a disaster. We are meant to be the biggest club in the world and as such we need a core group of players who are world class. Rooney is that and apart from Vidic and Evra we are lacking in world class players. Maybe you could add Rio into that list when fit and on form.

Berbs is good but there are doubts if he can maintain form and Scholes and Giggs are about to draw their pensions soon. Nani is great one week and the next can't even hit the ball.

Losing Rooney will lower the standard at the club and don't see players like Mecheda, Wellbeck, Chico and others being in that same league
