Rooney probably said the same thing when he was here stuck out on the left wing, iirc he said he was happy to play anywhere for the team and he was learning all the time, I'm pretty sure if you asked him his preference would be up top, regardless of where he says he prefers to play he's a natural finisher and can also be very direct, his repertoire of tricks isn't too shabby either for a front man, no doubt about it he will score plenty of goals for us and I'd be shocked if the new manager doesn't give him a run up top.
