With Sir Alex Ferguson confirming that he had asked for a transfer away from Old Trafford, Wayne Rooney has been ominously quiet in the past few weeks.
Bar a post on his website to declare that he hadn’t taken the term ‘Manchester United player’ out of his bio on Twitter, the player has stuck to communicating solely about his personal life.
In his silence rumours about his future have mounted with some claiming that a move to Arsenal could be on the cards. Shareholder Alisher Usmanov is certainly of the opinion a transfer is possible and has made little secret of his admiration for the striker, stopping just short of tapping him up. PSG have also been mentioned, the odds of a Rooney move to Real Madrid were slashed yesterday and today’s papers will claim that Rooney is entertaining the possibility of working under Mourinho at Chelsea.
Few think that Rooney could remain at Old Trafford, and whilst it has been mentioned, many believe that ship has already sailed. There are reports that Rooney believes that Sir Alex’s comments at the end of the season have painted him into a corner, doing irreparable damage thus leaving him with no option but to leave Manchester United.
But is there a remote chance Rooney will remain at United?
The Mirror are claiming that Rooney will meet with David Moyes next week in an attempt to salvage what is left of his career, and if a deal cannot be reached then United will begin the process of shopping him around to Europe’s top sides in an attempt to cash in on the player who has 2 years left on his current deal.
Manchester United are currently experiencing the problems of trying to sell a player in the last year of his contract, unable to get their desired fee for Nani. Last summer he was set for a £25m move to Zenit St Petersburg, but this summer Galatasaray are unwilling to pay £8.5m for the winger.
Keen to avoid a similar situation, The Mirror claim Sir Alex targeted this summer to get rid of the striker, given his age and length of contract situation.
With his potential suitors, if United can’t get Rooney to Real Madrid, it’s believed that Arsenal are the next preferred destination as Chelsea are considered direct title contenders.
So by the end of next week we will have an answer as to where Wayne Rooney will be next season? Would you like him to stay? If not where would you prefer to see him head to?
If we cant keep him any longer, we can sell wayne rooney to PSG or MONACO or Real Madrid but NOT a premiership rival. we have to learn fro arsenal mistake, sold RVP to MAN UTD
Ronney aint goin no way u moderfuckers,,,,chelshit n assenal 8t no mro cuz he’s stayin at united 2 fuck u bitch ass niggas up nxt season,,,,nonsense
Hahhahahaha chelsea fan am so sorry Rooney is going no where!!!!!!!! He will keep tormenting chelsea mancherster united!!!!!!! 4lifeeee
rooney ll stay
Rooney has handed in 2 transfer requests and marred Sir Alexs last few months at the club by being a crying mouthy bastard. Get him out. If he dosent appreciate putting the united shirt on whilst earning 250k a week he can do one. Freeing up that wage bracket can bring someone in who will wear the badge with pride. do one rooney. once a hero, not anymore.
I agree rooney is a vry important player in man u bt evn his departure wnt shrink man u evn a litlebit he is jst lyk cr7 thnkng abt money alway. Moyes let him go for anderson and kagawa to play fultym
If rooney wants to go away frm the club let him gooooooooo but I don’t want to see him in england
Royney if at all you want to leave,is certainly not this way…you are one of those legend we have at old trafford.
Rooney would and should be known as a UTD legend. But not anymore asking to leave twice in 3 years is shocking. We all want you out our club you fat bastard !! Bye rooney
rooney is a fantastic player let him decide wat he wnts nd stp breakin our heart bcoz we had great players but where are they?so if u leave their wil b other players like rvp,kagawa,chicharito,thiago,nani e.t.c
