Manchester United boss
Sir Alex Ferguson says Wayne
Rooney can shoulder their attack next season.
"The expectation on Rooney is always high," Ferguson told a news
conference in Malaysia. "It is a natural situation as it is the
standard which he has set for himself."
Ferguson brushed off suggestions that United will lack bite for
the new Premier League season
because of Ronaldo's absence,
saying the presence of other forwards such as Dimitar Berbatov and
promising youngster Federico Macheda will compensate for the
loss.
"We have a squad ... with outstanding football and it is how we
use them which is important," Ferguson said.
