A major overhaul is expected at the Theatre of Dreams as their new manager has finally started working with the squad. The Portuguese tactician Jose Mourinho has already acquired the signature of two world class players, namely; Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Zlatan Ibrahimovic on a free transfer and now, it is clearly understood that the manager is not looking to stop.

It is fair to say that the Manchester United’s job is one of the toughest tasks in his career and to reach the peak, he will have to assess the entire situation of the current squad to take any major decision. Soon after his arrival, it was rumoured that the Old Trafford spectators will observe the departure of many fan favourites as the manager will line the squad according to his tactics.

The first name that popped out was of the Spanish midfielder Juan Mata, who has a shady relationship with the manager. Besides that, Daley Blind was also a reported victim of the arrival, but so far nothing has been finalized. The club hasn’t faced any departure yet, but we do feel that there are many players, who could be shown the exit door of the club.

Besides all this incoming and outgoing saga, Wayne Rooney’s future at the Theatre of Dream is being unnoticed. It’s not like he will be sold, but the major concern here about him is his positioning. With new signings coming at the club, his game time or his position might hinder.

Rooney is one of the most versatile players in the sport without any doubt, but in recent times he has been criticized heavily due to his poor form. The 30-year-old English international’s selection in England’s squad for the Euro was questioned by many supporters and to be perfectly honest, he did nothing great that would make the country proud.

There is no doubt that Rooney is one of the most creative players in the sport, but his form is dipping season after season. But, we all are aware of the fact that the 30-year-old attacker cum midfielder can easily operate the game from the central area, so the Portuguese manager can deploy him as a central midfielder and could play a role as same as Cesc Fabregas played at the Bridge under Mourinho.

Rooney playing at the central of the park will give the team a great width and with his great range of passing, United could do a great damage to the premier league opponents.

While Mourinho was at Chelsea (in his first stint), he always wanted Rooney at his side as the tactician is very much aware of what kind of damage he could do and that dream is now a reality, therefore we expect some great performances from Wazza as a central midfielder next season.
