Ever since we were treated to the unprecedentedly gifted, select bunch that were the class of ’92, something we have never seen the like of again, the drive and desire to see another group or couple of individuals as equally talented as their predecessors such as Beckham, Giggs and Scholes has been of the feverish…

Although not as damning, it is like a repeat of what happened in October 2010. Reports from a number of respected journalists claim Wayne Rooney has threatened to leave Manchester United for a second time in the space of three years. It shouldn’t surprise any of us though, his “once a blue, always a blue”…
