Why Young? He's been ok when he's played, certainly a lot better than Valencia (although that isn't hard), and that would leave us with only Giggs as a natural left winger?

I think young is a fine squad player, you sell Valencia, replaced by Zaha, add a left winger and you have Kagawa, Zaha, Nani, Young, player x on the wings.

Ronaldo

I can't see anyone leaving in the summer so Valencia will keep the #7. If he did get sold though I don't think they will give it to another player at the moment, will likely wait for the next big talent to come along.

If we sold players after one bad season, we would have a completely different squad.

The number 7 shirt has been worn by lots of famous players but it doesn't bestow special powers on the wearer. Just like the captain's arm band.

I would give it to Anderson

I'd give it to Nani.

Owen and Valencia have devalued the no 7 shirt imo. In Fergie's eyes it's just a number these days.

Exactly - And Ferguson has always stated that about the squad numbers. It's why we won't retire the number 11 when Giggs retires. Zaha will probably get the 7 if Valencia leaves the club (which I can't see even if he has been woeful this season). Isn't he playing through the pain of an injury or something anyway that requires an op in the summer?
