With Cristiano Ronaldo and Carlos Tevez gone, the questions now turn to how Sir Alex Ferguson is going to make up for the amount of goals lost between the two players (and 18 from CR7 alone). Could the answer be found in which position you play the man wearing the number 10 shirt?

“We’ve lost two key players and obviously I hope we can get a few players in,” Rooney told The Times.

“Between them Cristiano and Carlos scored a lot of goals for us last season and the season before, but I would like to think I’m capable of filling that gap. I’ve said before that, if I can play in my right position, I’m capable of doing that.”

Rooney has often been asked to operate out wide by manager Sir Alex Ferguson, most notably this season in latter stages of the Champions League.

The 23-year-old is adamant that has prevented him from showing his best form on a consistent basis, and believes the time is right to make a permanent switch to the centre.

“I want to play in the position where I feel I’m best,” he said. “A lot of people think I’m best as a centre forward. To play in a Champions League final and to play week in, week out for Manchester United is a privilege and it’s something I’m very lucky to be doing, but I don’t think playing on the wing I can express myself as much as I like to.”
