Rooney is basically Beckham at this point. He doesn't run (well), but is capable of sheer brilliance with a pass or shot. The problem is you could sometimes hide Beckham on the wing, and deal with no defense over there. Rooney has to play behind Ibra, who is also unbelievably slow. It is waaaayyy too early to panic, but something does need to change.
I'm not sure any United fan ever had any misgivings about getting Pep. He's been City bound since he left Barca.
