Then United will still have a similar problem further back. In my opinion I don't think Rooney truly wants to leave and I think he had a heated argument with Ferguson about his playing time etc but I don't think he actually wants to leave so I think he will stay.
From what I've seen from Thiago I think he's better further back. If I was United manager and I signed him I would play him next to Carrick but slightly further forward like when Cleverley plays there. I think that would be better for Man U.
IF we sign Thiago id imagine wed line up something like this:
...................De Gea
Rafael - Ferdinand - Vidic - Evra
.............Carrick
..........................Thiago
Valencia.......Rooney.......Kagawa
...............Van Persie
Personally id rather see Kagawa where Rooney is but if Rooney stays as i think he will then he plays and he plays behind Van Persie, Kagawa plays in that role for Japan so theres no reason why it shouldn't work for him there as long as hes encourages and allowed to roam central and allows Evra to be the main source of width down that wing.
