Rooney had done quite well towards the end of the season playing in the hole with Chicharito ahead of him, I imagine that is where he will be next season.
I don't think the 4-4-2 diamond is a formation SAF will be using next season, the 4-4-1-1/4-2-3-1 worked really well once Rooney found his form again. If Arsenal actually do sell Nasri to Man Utd (I still doubt this is going to happen), I assume he would be played as part of the two in the middle but I wonder if he can contribute enough defensively for this to work against some of the better teams.
