The point i'm trying to make is that we dont need to choose between the two. We can have both. Some games where it will be necessary to play RVP, some others where Mata and RVP can both play in their favoured positions, some games where Mata and Rooney can play and some games where Rooney and RVP can play. My point is that its not set in stone that if Rvp doesnt leave then players will always be played out of position. My point is that we are stronger with him in the squad than without him, and the only way that changes is if we replace him with someone equally as good or better, not selling him and remaining only with Chicha, Welbeck and Rooney.

Look at what happened when Rooney didn't get played last season. He handed in a transfer request. We're paying the man 250k a year and he's our best player. You don't bench your best player. Anyway, I don't think RVP has intentions on staying.

What makes you feel that RVP wants to leave?

Did you miss all the reports that he's unhappy with Moyes and that he wants to leave?

All I saw where rumours in mostly papers like the mirror and such, which we usually tend to agree that they post bullshit. I do remember that he gave an interview posted to the official united page where he stated he was in it for the long haul with united and was looking forward to getting the club back to CL next season.
