I beg to differ on the "selling Rooney" part.
So far the RVP-Rooney combination did well before Roo was injured. Look at most of the games where ManUtd was 2 goals down and they managed to comeback with 3 goals or more scored.
Only in the last 2 matches (vs WBA & Wigan) RVP was paired with Hernandez, with the rotation in midfield and defence. (Kagawa - Carrick, Ferdinand-Jones).
Furthermore, with Roo around, SAF will have more option if he plays a diamond formation in midfield, Roo/Kagawa/Cleverly/Scholes can fit in with either a lone or 2 strikers upfront(RVP/Hernandez/Welbeck). Not forgetting, Roo can play in the striker role too.
But, Ronaldo-RVP partnership will be awesome IMHO.
Relishing to see the derby between 2 great teams, the Reds(Liverpool) vs Red Devils(ManUtd).
