I know there is already a thread about Wayne Rooney and the likelyhood of him leaving Manchester United in January or next summer but this thread is about who YOU think could and should be brought in by Manchester United to replace the England striker.
There is no doubt, an on form Wayne Rooney is one of the best strikers in world football, replacing a player who gives so much to the team will be very hard to do.
In my opinion I reckon the money we'd make from the sale of Wayne, Fergie will chase Karim Benzema like he did a few seasons back. Granted Karim hasn't set the La Liga alight since his move to Real Madrid from Lyon and with reports coming out of Spain that Jose Mourinho is getting inpatient with the French striker who was dropped from the French national side for the World Cup in South Africa last summer, I reckon with the guidance of Sir Alex, Karims potential could be realised and put to good use. Having watched him a few times, he seems to be a natural born goal scorer, doesn't offer the team much else in terms of tracking back to win balls etc but he certainly knows where the net is.
I reckon if Rooney is sold and sold to Madrid which is a possibility, then a cash + Benzema deal would suit me too the ground, losing Rooney will be a MASSIVE loss but with some money coming in and a player who could still learn a lot would be at least some way to replacing Wayne.
Who do you guys think though? give us the reasons as well.
