da brdice： When Sir Alex Ferguson’s decided to splash £24 million on Robin Van Persie you’d be forgiven for being a touch sceptical regarding his intentions. Looking at it from a neutral perspective there didn’t appear to be any justification to backup spending such an exuberant sum of money on an injury-prone 29-year-old. None what so ever. That was until Van Persie started to do what he does best. Score goals. Four in his first two starts, including a hat-trick on the South Coast last Sunday, has beyond any shadow of a doubt elevated him to first choice at Old Trafford. Saying that, Wayne Rooney’s horrific leg injury a fortnight ago has aided the Holland international in taking over his mantle during the Premier League season’s opening weeks. But with Ferguson instigating a tactical evolution theres a thought that Van Persie is the ideal man to spearhead the new 4-2-3-1 formation that the United boss has started to implement. The question now being posed is ‘Where does Rooney fit in?’ Shinji Kagawa has impressed in the hole behind the central striker whilst Antonio Valencia, Ashley Young and Nani are all battling for a place out wide. Answers on a postcard.

“I get more of the ball, I’m involved loads and, after one game, I even think about playing there permanently, but only later in my career. Once I feel that I haven’t got the sharpness needed to get away from defenders, I’ll probably drop back into midfield for a couple of seasons so I can still influence the game.” Wayne Rooney reveals he could drop back into midfield in the future
