Manchester United line up potential replacements for Wayne Rooney, Fernando Torres
England’s most successful club over the last decade are currently facing a major crisis within the walls of Old Trafford at the moment.
The team that was once considered to be the ultimate destination for a football player seems to have lost that reputation as more and more players are now thinking of leaving the team.
The trend of the super stars walking out of the club started with David Beckham, it was then continued by the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo. The next player, who is now looking to leave the team, is none other than, Wayne Rooney.
The Golden boy of English football has finally admitted that the pressure of the media is far too much for him to handle and he is now contemplating a move away from the club, following his admitting to wanting to win more trophies, which he did not see
as something, which he could at Manchester United any more. The player is being eyed by a host of teams, who despite his poor form wouldn’t mind to signing the player.
On the other hand, one thing that Manchester United will be looking to do is to sign a replacement for the outgoing striker as soon as possible. The team has a number of players in mind to replace the goal machine and the one player, who is currently on
top of the list of names, is Fernando Torres.
It might come as a shock to most people that the team is looking to lure a player, who just like Rooney is having a rather poor run in of form. Torres, who was a part of the Spanish World Cup winning squad, has so far scored only one goal this season and
has started to look like a very tired player.
However, the player has described his poor form down to the fact that Liverpool is currently going through a major slump and as a result most of the players at the team are affected by the situation at hand.
However, it is undeniable that Torres has some of the best technique and skill in the World at the moment. It is also safe to say that Torres has the class of one of the greatest players around it’s just that he is going through a poor run in of form at
the moment.
If Torres does manage to join United he could prove to form one of the greatest striking partnerships in the history of the Premier League along with Dimitar Berbatov.
Both the players are perfectly complimentary to one another. Torres has all the pace and the power that the team could ask for, while on the other hand Berbatov has the finesse and deft touch that can make them a deadly combination.
Alex Ferguson in the past has also gone on and admitted to admiring the talent that Torres possesses and hence it is safe to say that the manager is already fond of the player, which would make this move all the more possible in the near future.
However, the only thing that is left to do is for Torres to decide if he wants to play amongst the players at Old Trafford or not. The player had recently admitted that he would not want to play for any other Premier League but if the offer does present
itself to the player, he might find it very hard to turn down.
