YESTERDAY I advised Sir Alex to move Rooney into midfield to solve the dilemma he had created by not buying anyone for years - and I was glad to see he took my advice!
The result? Rooney pulled the strings and Van Persie scored the goals. This is the future for Rooney at United and, if that daft old dinosaur Roy Hodgson has any sense, for England too.
Rooney has lost some of his pace - inevitable really given his lifestyle away from the pitch - and I very much doubt he will ever regain it.
Central midfield is the future for Wayne - and I was glad to be the first hack to suggest and report it for you!
