Central striker indeed is the
favorite of Rooney
– On the record of WhoScored site last season, there are at least 4 position
ever tested by Wayne Rooney at Manchester United FC. Namely, a defensive midfielder,
attacking midfielder, striker left wing and center forward.

Of
4 positions, which most often occupied the 29-year player is a defensive
midfielder and center forward, which was respectively 14 appearances. However,
the position of the center forward is more gives more goals than midfielders
(This is 4 rateable 3).
In
the position, it is certainly reasonable. Because, however, an attacker would
have higher probability to create a score rather than a midfielder. But more
importantly than that, indeed the center forward is the Wayne Rooney's genuine
position.
The
last accumulation of the highest recorded scores that are created by Roney for
United in the 2011-2012 season, the 34 goals in 43 appearances. It happened
when he was playing as a center forward throughout the season, both behind
Javier Hernandez in a 4-4-1-1 formation as well as single attacker. As quoted
by ESPN, Wayne Rooney said that his favorite position, as he always says, is to
become a striker that always infiltrated the box of opponent penalty.
Well,
restoring Wayne Rooney to the original position that will carried out by Luis
van Gaal in the 2015-2016 season. Moreover, so far United has rather minimal of
the supply player at the striker position. In addition to Wayne Rooney, there
are only Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez, who spent last season on loan
at Real Madrid, which indicates that LvG less comfortable with the style of his
game, and the young striker James Wilson who still has minimal experience.
If
the plan of van Gaal restores Wayne Rooney to the original position actually
can be realized, Rooney promises to score at least 20 goals to repay that
trust. Even central striker indeed is
the favorite of Rooney, but Wayne Roney also added that, if the manager
wants him to different tasks, he would do it like last season. He never thought
that he sacrificed too much. Football is a team sport.
Luis
van Gaal, so far, has spent funds amounting to GBP 83.1 million to bring in
four players, 2 midfielders (Bastian Schweinsteiger, Morgan Schneiderlin), 1
fullback (Matteo Darmian), as well as a winger or attacking wing (Memphis
Depay).
In
a press conference yesterday in San Jose, Luis van Gaal admitted still hunting
the attackers, but not a figure that was rumored being targeted by United.
Then, who the assailant "mysterious" called van Gaal is still in the
process of being recruited it?
Daily
Mail has launched 10 names that might be the attacker who was targeted by van
Gaal. They are Zlatan Ibrahimovic (PSG), Gonzalo Higuain (Napoli), Alexandre
Lacazette (Lyon), Pierre-Emerick Aubemeyang (Borussia Dortmund), Bas Dost
(Wolfsburg), Mauro Icardi (Inter Milan), Alvaro Morata (Juventus), Olivier
Giroud (Arsenal), Saido Berahino (West Bromwich Albion) and Hulk (Zenit St
Petersburg). As also reported by the Daily Mail, LvG said that everyone has to
wait and see. All possibilities are still open.
