Why I rate Ronnie way above Roo

Last week it was confirmed that Man United's superstar, regular centre forward and commercial icon number one, Wayne Rooney, has handed in his second transfer of his Manchester United tenure. Some fans still claim he's greater than Ronaldo, because he remains and Ronnie left, but nonetheless this is, from my experience, a subject who divides fans of the recently crowned champions of English football. Personally I think this comparison of which one who's reached the highest legendary level goes in favour of the gifted Portuguese, and by a country mile margin. Here are four reasons why I rate the Madeira born superstar way higher than England's (former?) wonderboy.

Kagawa in Luka Modric's footprints?

Shinji Kagawa was one of the best performers in the Bundesliga season of 2011/12, but the humble Japanese has not exactly found - or Sir Alex Ferguson hasn't found - how to utilitise him optimally at Manchester United after the summer transfer. He's mostly played wide left, but is there another option than Wayne Rooney's trequartista role?

Nani the sinking showboat?

Luis Carlos Almeida da Cunha, 26, has been rumored for a move away from Manchester United, after five and a half years of various fortune at Old Trafford. Would January 2013 be the right time to leave? Is he world-class? Will he ever fulfill his potential - and how could that possibly be done? Does he deserve £120.000 a week? The Brigade has taken a closer look on the Portuguese international's career after moving to the British Isles.

Right to leave Nani out for Young?

In the summer of 2007 United signed two young and talented Portuguese players. One of them, Anderson, is still on the brink of making it as a regular for Man United, but his countryman Nani is seemingly frozen out at Old Trafford.

Old enough if good enough?

There are only a pocketful of hours since Juventus lost 1-0 at San Siro for Milan after a Robinho penalty kick after 30 minutes played. The Old Lady had more possession than the home side, and pushed on in the entire second half for an equaliser, but failed to find the way to the back of the net. However, still when 1-0 down in a difficult game on the road, Antonio Conte subbed on a familiar bloke, Paul Pogba, in an attempt to turn the game around.
