After a tumultuous 10 days, Manchester United have been able to resolve Wayne Rooney's contract situation by signing the 24-year-old to a five-year extension to extend his contract to 2015.To be honest Sir Alex has done a fantastic job of keeping him and getting him to sign that new contract. I would have been really happy to have seen Rooney gone.
Though these days contracts don't really count for much and a mere handing in of a transfer request from Rooney will get his value to drop significantly. That added to the fact that the club is in a huge pile of debt will force the club to sell for less.
It's something that we have seen happen at Liverpool and with Barca trying to force Arsenal into selling Fabregas.Its time we all realised that player power these days is indeed too much and something needs to be done about it.
Throughout the last several days, we have seen Sir Alex Ferguson read out a statement saying that Rooney wanted to leave Old Trafford over concern for his future.
Rooney later confirmed that message, and it seemed extremely unlikely that Rooney was going to be a Red Devil past January 2011.
But now, Ferguson was able to work his magic once again, as he was able to convince the Glazers to get the money to keep his superstar at Old Trafford.
Out of all these actions, Fergie truly is the winner here, not Rooney, but now the Scot has another major task that he will need to accomplish.
That task is to make Manchester United truly competitive again in the next year in order to keep Rooney and the fans happy.
This next year will be extremely important for Rooney and the development of Manchester United, as Rooney felt that Man United were not going to be competitive in the next couple of years.
For the last couple of years, many have been speculating when Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes and Gary Neville would retire. Even though Giggs and Scholes both can produce today, they are not going to be nearly as powerful in 2012 or 2013.
However, United have never been able to secure any player to effectively replace Scholes and Giggs, something that can be a major problem.
Plus, Man United will need to find an effective goalkeeper to replace the retiring Edwin Van der Sar.
In the next year, United will need to find players that really could effectively replace these two former greats.
Due to the need of change at Old Trafford, young players with tremendous upside must be implemented into the squad in order to win the league by 2015.
Whoever these players might be, they will need to play like superstars and will need to be signed within the next year in order to overcome the learning curve of being a member of Manchester United.
Sir Alex must have persuaded him maybe the only reason Rooney said that was to get extra money. Youre right United need to rebuild now but as United are crippled with debts they are going to have to buy young upcoming players. I saw in the paper today that fergie wants to get rid of a couple of players. But he has to bring players that are better than the current players. SO to replace Gigg's a fellow welsh man bale. Spur's probably wont sell but they have to try and get him. To replace Scholes the little croatian Modric and Henderson. Again Spur's wont probably sell but United have to enqiure about him. Sneidjer would obviously be the first choice but he wont leave Inter unless he fall's out with Benitez. To replace Neivile a man from Ajax Van Der Wiel. He is an up and coming player and probably woudnt cost that much. To replace VDS a fellow dutchman Steklenburg. He is about 30 so he is experienced and i think he would be ready. Maybe a striker as well maybe Suarez, The glazers have to get there head around that if they want more money coming in from trophies they have to give ferguson big money to spend.
