Bobby Charlton

               He went on: "Wayne has been our regular goalscorer - and he scores fantastic goals. If he scores a great goal, he'll think 'right, I'll get another one.Not only that, he has an influence on the rest of the team.Just because he has some competition, I don't think that is a problem."
Nevertheless, there are enough examples of Ferguson ditching extremely high-profile players not to take the status quo as being certain to be preserved.And even though the wounds are still raw, it would seem the events of last week are likely to fuel the Scot's desire to have another tilt at the Champions League rather than meekly step aside, as some have suggested could happen.Yet Charlton, whose records as top scorer for both United and England are under threat from the former Everton man, said: "I don't worry about Wayne Rooney. There is no way he will ever be allowed to move on, because that is not the way Sir Alex Ferguson works."
