Having worked with Kaka and played with Van Basten – Ancelotti knows what he is talking about. Rooney has been excellent this season, playing much further forward with less defensive responsibilities. He has been playing up front on his own in many games – with Berbatov injured just before Christmas. I think he is an excellent all round forward and I think Milan will soon find out.
