Chelsea boss Ancelotti: Man Utd nothing without Rooney
Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti says Manchester United are a one-man team.
Ancelotti believes United could not win the league without their 20-goal star striker Wayne Rooney.
Ancelotti, whose team face Birmingham at home tonight, said: "With Didier not here we have had the chance to put in other strong, fantastic players. We have had Nicolas Anelka and Daniel Sturridge doing very well.
"But without Rooney it would be difficult for United to win the title. He's a very decisive player for Manchester United.
"We have a chance without Didier because we can put Anelka on, another top striker in the world.
"We have to keep pace with Arsenal and United because I believe there will be a sprint finish to the final game."

Why make an issue of those that cannot speak English. It is abundantly clear your grasp of English is almost as poor as your Knowledge of football. Man United. might i guess that your are a Nigerian trying to ingratiate ourself with someone. Whats your agenda, and why not select a team rather than the metaphor for WANKERS that is the RED FILTH!
The Fact is ROONEY is with United, u silly fools who can't speak English u better shut up. It's proven with the TITLES that we have won, whoever plays upfront for United will always be a treat. Before ROONEY we have someone else and it will continue to be so coz we are UUNNIITTEEDD. A team of people knitted and UNITED together called MAN UTD (MEN UTD). Ask Abrahamovic to Employ the best ENGLISH teacher from RUSSIA to Teach that SILLY Fools CHELSHIT Coach
Haha I really love reading ManU fans deluding themselves over the importantance of Rooney. Without Rooney you are no better than Fulham, who beat you ! Rooney got you half the points total, without him, you will be Portsmouth ! SHIT TEAM !
