Solskjær: "To be able to spread the goals across more forwards is going to be important for us. An attacking midfielder should not be the only player reaching 15 or 20 goals for us, no."

This is Trevor012's mind

"Is there a club/organization/etc who are better than Arsenal at just continually destroying your will to support them? It's almost like this is some fucking test of the human spirit to see how much shit can be dumped on a group of supporters before they tap out"

I am not your pastor.

Do the research yourself and tell me what you found.

Fact remains Rooney is a striker, started out as a striker before he was deemed not good enough and he was moved back a little to accommodate those that have a natural ability for scoring.

Rooney was not Everton striker, so how did he start as a striker? Even for the three lions at that time, he was not the striker. He always played as a number 10 behind another striker. Rooney himself did not see himself as a striker to begin with. He was being forced to play close to the goal because of his scoring ability. Rooney has confirmed he played as a number 9 in only two seasons. This has been my argument since joining this sports section in 2013.
.................................................
"Them two seasons (2008-09, 2009-10) were the two seasons I played as a number nine on my own," Rooney said on BT Sport.

"I played there in and out in different games but I played for the whole season in them two years.

"I actually didn't enjoy the games as much. I've always been a player that wants to get involved in the game and it is something which Marcus will learn over next few years.

"It took me seven or eight years to learn how to play there and to learn to play with your back to goal. It's the hardest position to play. You've got big centre-backs coming through back of you and you're on your own.

"I weren't enjoying it, but it was my best two years of scoring. I remember coming off the pitch and scoring two goals and saying, 'I was awful. I didn't play that well today. I didn't have that many touches of the ball.

In 2009/10, Rooney hit an impressive 26 goals in the Premier League and won the PFA Player of the Year. Only Didier Drogba notched more in the top flight that season, but Rooney wasn't best-pleased.

Ferdinand recalled his long-time teammate asking Sir Alex Ferguson to change his position going into the next campaign.

Ferdinand added: "We spoke when we came back to pre-season. I remember speaking to you and you said, 'I'm going to speak to the manager and say I want to play as a number ten.'

"I was sitting there going, 'But you scored 30-odd goals this season Wazza.' But you weren't enjoying your football and I couldn't get my head around that."

Rooney did end up moving further back at United, before going on to return to boyhood club Everton in 2017.

After a spell stateside with D.C United, he finished his career at Derby County, who he has just kept in the Championship on the final day after being appointed manager in January.

Kindly explain

Ole is not saying Bruno should stop scoring or getting in positions. He's saying others should step up and do same too. There's space for everyone. One person don't have to draw back for the other to shine

[b][/b]Sky Sports’ Gary Neville:

"I'm comfortable with Aaron Wan-Bissaka. The reasoning being, if you look at the back four, United have an outstanding attacking left-back. We've got two excellent centre-backs in Harry Maguire and Raphael Varane.

"If you look at Chelsea or Liverpool's back four, they've both got someone who's not perfect. You can't have world-class across the field. I think Wan-Bissaka is improving and he's a good defender. He's not had a consistent partner down that right since he joined so I'm hopeful Jadon Sancho will provide that for him.

"I do share the concern in midfield but they're not going to spend another £70m on a world-class holding midfielder. Their business is done but it is a problem. United have signed Sancho and Varane who are good signings but I still don't think it's enough.

"I'd still want to sign a centre forward and I'd be going all out to sign Harry Kane. If City can get Kane, why can't we? We can compete with them. If United bought Kane, they'd have a great chance.

"Kane would provide five years of absolute gold. You could then hold the likes of Wan-Bissaka and McTominay as they've got the right spirit and they've got guts.

"When I was playing, we had personalities such as Darren Fletcher, John O'Shea, the list goes on. We had great players around us which enabled us to win titles."
