Kevin Garside: Wayne Rooney could truly have the next at Manchester... - The Independent

Friend Alex Fergusonas partnership with Wayne Rooney is believed to have warmed in recent days. There is a pat on the rear for the England forward as he made way for Ryan Giggs at Upton Park. But that's no longer the issue. That he was the person sacrificed has changed the debate from his relationship with the manager to his pertinence to the staff. Fergusonas stint at Old Trafford is defined as much by the people as those he's signed outa have been shipped by him. So, as well as the crucial visits of Peter Schmeichel, Eric Cantona, Nemanja Vidic, Cristiano Ronaldo and Rooney herself 10 years ago, the key decisions were also those to release Paul McGrath, Jaap Stam, David Beckham, Ruud Van Nistelrooy, and in one single specially intense cull at seasonas end, Paul Ince, Mark Hughes and Andrei Kanchelskis. The speculation in recentA times has grabbed Rooney in the direction of Paris Saint-Germain. True Madrid also get a note. Within a previous commitment wrangle, Manchester City were the rumoured users of Englandas best forward skill of his era. On that occasion Ferguson acted decisively and rapidly to keep his talisman at United. He was a player in those days. Watching him work around Upton Park, it was difficult to not comment on the decline in output. Rooney is a phantom of the person he was in his early twenties, and at 27, he could be experiencing the unpleasant truth that the decline is permanent. Operating in the most difficult part of the subject, Rooney appears to have lost that split-second timing that has a player away from the handle. His touch is leaden and he is also easily shackled. He could still be capable of episodic bouts of beauty but the delivery of his explosive past has gone. Ferguson has accounted for the plodding exhibits of this year by claiming Rooney requires a function of activities to be at his best, something regarding his physique. Rooney looks fit enough. He is able to work through the night. But his decision-making is slow and his action unresponsive. Rooney would not be the first to feel the negative pull of character at an age when sportsmen are typically at their maximum. Since he could walk this fella has been at the sharp end of the game. A goal-scoring feeling as a small, Rooney has carried the flame of genius with him throughout his boyhood from the school frequency through Evertonas senior programme. His career as a prodigy playing above his generation was already a old when he broke on to the Goodison pitch in the blue of Everton as a 16-year-old. Age isn't only measured in years however in miles on the clock. In an item that appeared in these pages before Christmas, Rooneyas predicament was likened to other talented individuals in whom the light went out early, Ronaldinho and George Most useful. At the same age as Rooney is now Barcelona sold Ronaldinho to Milan and Most useful stepped out of Old Trafford. Ronaldinho perhaps peaked at 26 at the 2006 World Cup. Damage caught up with him in his last year at the Nou Camp and he was never exactly the same player at San Siro. Most useful was only an itinerant interest post-United and already lost to the container. Ferguson demands that Rooney is going to be at Old Trafford next period. He has dismissed the rumours linking United to Atletico Madridas coveted blade Radamel Falcao. Or even him it will be some other person. John Lewandowski of Borussia Dortmund is just a title that continually arises. We must allow that a club and a man can transform minds if we get Fergie at his word. Rooney has attained the period in the contract period, with couple of years to operate on his current deal, where value is re-established. Does the team re-sign or offer while they could attract a fee? In the greatest game of Unitedas season, the return Champions League tie at Old Trafford against Real Madrid, Rooney wasn't first choice. Ferguson found a much better method of using United forward. He is longer seen by ferguson no as a center forward. Robin van Persie and Danny Welbeck were favored. Significantly, the tendency has visited change the creative gap to be back filled by him in midfield. In his role as radio pundit with BBC Radio 5 stay, Michael Owen unmasked on Wednesday how Rooney was played in that role in education. He wasn't asked but told. It is in this position but probably not on the improved conditions he attempts in what'll be perhaps his last big contract negotiation if he has the next at United. If he sees himself while the major man up front and on a commensurate with the size he once had, it wonat be at Old Trafford. Friday was yet further proof of that.
