When the inevitable finally happened in June, the reaction seemed to be one of relief and delight. After all, receiving a world record transfer fee of £80 million for a man who had no desire to remain at Old Trafford any longer seemed like a stroke of genius from Fergie. And Manchester United still had Wayne Rooney, the hero of the Stretford End. But in a season which...

When Dimitar Berbatov signed for United at the beginning of last season I was looking forward to the prospect of having him playing alongside Wayne Rooney.
