He's surely amongst the top 5 finishers in the league, has an engine in him, has learned how to play in midfield well, has good link-up play, decent strength, he's decent at headering the ball & would in general improve the team IMO. It's not my money, it's Roman's. All the above plus the need for more English players in the team makes me think it should happen. He's also a leader on the pitch despite having his perhaps 'chaotic' moments. Hazard and Mata would be incredible with him i feel. Edit: Just a point; Just because United are interested in listening to offers for him doesn't mean he's not good enough for us. We play a completely different style to them, one which Rooney would thrive in. With Moyes (seemingly) becoming their next manager things would be tricky as Moyes & Rooney had a major fallout regarding something one or the other wrote about the other in a book of theirs.
