Fergie confirms Rooney set to leave Utd

[@newtonheath8938]

normally he would sell Wayne to any clubs... just like Beckham and Van Nistelrooy... but 1 little talks and a handshake later Wayne sign a new 180k contract in 2010 and win United PL 19th & 20th... Sir Alex is a genius

[@joeldoherty2166]

Gill lost us Roy Keane, pleased he realised his mistakes as did sir Alex and swallow his pride to let Wayne become our all time top scorer 🙏

[@newtonheath8938]

@@joeldoherty2166 Gill lost us Roy Keane? Roy's gone when Becks gone to Madrid and Scholesy & Ole was injured most of the time during that 3 years before his rant on MUTV, Roy couldn't handle Fletcher, Rooney & Ronaldo. It was the right decision to let Roy go and replaced him with Carrick

[@user-dq6se6er8j]

Lost you Keane? Keane retired from football 6 months later. He was finished

[@brettpilkington9539]

​@@joeldoherty2166Keane's legs were going, he barely played after he left United, if he was in his prime the mutv interview wouldn't have been made in to such a drama. Fergie just had an excuse to cut ties as Keane was diminishing but posed a threat to him in the dressing room.

[@lewisallen3232]

Personally I think it was because Tevez and Ronaldo left. United never really bought anyone in of the same calibre, which made Rooney question the clubs ambition at the time.

[@rorsabest]

Lewis Allen yeah in the same period where they reached 2 champions league finals, won a league cup and a league. Rooney was right to think they lacked ambition

[@lukepowell1988]

We never sold Tevez he went on a free

[@DegriffaDylan]

@@lukepowell1988 doesn't change the fact he wasn't at the club and a replacement wasn't signed...

[@breakdown461]

Every time someone says things like 'oh, he was right to point out they lacked ambition! ' I say just remember one guy who wore the no 7 and carried an average team for a decade in the 80s. He was the best midfielder in the world and would have easily slotted into the Milan midfield at that time. He didn't leave, he didn't complain, he was the captain, he knew his responsibilities. Rooney never had any form of genuine connection with the club. He did a job. Bottom line.

[@Kofi_Mensahs_BurnerAccount]

breakdown461 Wazza always has maintained that he is an Everton fan. But his move was motivated by both money and ambition. The fact that Tevez wasn’t signed up permanently and the obvious gap Ronnie left when he moved on, was glaring but the Glazers were clearly not interested in spending much money. They were very happy to spend a pittance on Valencia, Owen, Chicharito and that marquee signing was nowhere to be seen.

[@IamBatman616]

So, is this the reason why people hate on Rooney after all he has done for the club. But still rate Ronaldo. Rooney has done more for United than Ronaldo everyone knows that. Wayne Rooney needs to be respected. He is the reason i fell in love with this club.

[@whitestripe1854]

He only got "hated on" at the time this happened. Nobody hates him now, not sure what fans you've been chatting too!

[@miniroll32]

He essentially held the club to ransom, expecting them to come running after him. Unfortunately they did meet his demand (Funny how a pay rise 'reassured' him of the club's ambition), but you could tell that Ferguson was never the same around Rooney after.

[@Whynot922]

As a lifelong Man U fan, I have seen some of the best come and some of the best go (and in Giggs, I believe the best has remained). Sure the club is bigger than any one individual, but if we keep leaking top individuals at this rate, it is going to start impacting on our results and stature. Even Sir Alex must acknowledge this! I can see where WR is coming from, but lately his form is anything but world class. A little ironic that his justification for leaving would exclude him from re-signing!

[@nikhilkiki07]

Damn right! Rooney and his team tried to take Sir Alex on a ride, and Fergie swept the floor with them.

[@TemperatureIndicator]

The problem with the position that Wayne plays in is that he plays right behind the 1st striker so Rooney really plays more of a CAM position rather than an out and out striker like Van Persie. Wayne Rooney is an amazing player and there is argument to say Rooney is the best player, it just depends on what you are looking for when it comes to the best. Rooney could drop into the position that Scholes occupies and then he would be the best player on the team...debatable of course.

[@harryarmstrong2492]

Looking back on it, he was right. Yes he won 2 more league titles after this but it only got worse for Utd after 2013. He probably should’ve left just not to city

[@brettpilkington9539]

It only got worse because Ferguson left, Rooney would have kept winning things if Fergie had stayed on longer.

Yes, I know now. Hence why my comment was made before SAF's comments today.

[@moonsugar1]

@thepastry "theres nobody in the squad as good as them at the moment. and ur right" - You've just proved my point. I didnt say it was a bad side, your still at the top of the table. I said it was a bad united side, Hence the players you have currently are not good enough for what is expected of a table topping Man Utd side, Hence they are not fit to wear the shirt. But not to worry, its the same case with all of the old top four at the moment.

[@rythemandthebeat]

@CiaranVanDon point is he's so young, yet got so much to show.

[@slickvik101]

@ForgetaboutFreeman because of the 20% sell on claus that everton have it unlikely that utd willl take a cash offer unless its 50mill +. if real is the destination then i suspect it will be straight swap for kaka or benzema + (mamudah diarra or lasanna diarra) or something on similar lines with little or no cash thus avoiding the sell on claus problem. plus utd hav tracked both diarra's and benzema already

@matsui2001 Yeah i would have loved to have lived in a time when players were passionate about football. When i was a kid i would sit in front of tv with my dad n watch it and i loved it! But bk then i was naive and didn't realise how much they were getting paid. But todays wages are extortionate and they play atrociously. I just want to see a bit of pride bk in the game. Fans love to watch but players dont love to play it's such a shame really.

[@Xbox360ProGammerX]

@Mack786 Van Der Sar is an amazing gk and i agree there are few gk that are good and their all tied down. When last year we lost Cech it was really hard. I can only see 2 gk that can maybe fit perfect with Utd Lloris and Akinfeev. Higuain is really amazing player and i really wish Chelsea go after him but i think it would be hard for mourinho to trade him or to sell him.

Would also just like to comment on two things.... We would be looking like a very different outfit if we could only get Owen Hargreaves match fit. One season of him in the midfield and I really think we would dominate again. Also, I had read somewhere of a connection with Wesley Sneijder.... Put him in a United strip and once again, we are supporting a totally different team from that of today!!

[@Karrimor18]

To be honest, we don't really need Wayne Rooney, no doubting he is an asset but I think he provides more of a phsycological boost than anything, United has many goals in it if players like Berbatov, Nani and Hernandez can get their heads right. I also think that Owen has a few goals in him too, he just hasn't been given a decent chance. All we have to do is cash in BIG and buy a more prolific and natural striker ( Huntelaar or Suarez come to mind right now) for half the price.

United have spent a net total of around 57million in the last 5 years, however, City have spent around 389million. Even if you don't include United selling Ronaldo for 80million, it still doesn't even come close!

@yutubericci I noticed that too. Very strange.

[@Danesay]

@moonsugar1 I don't think anyone united "fan" in their right mind would say that Rooney Giggs and Scholes are the only players worthy of wearing the shirt. De Gea Carrick Evans Valencia Welbeck have all been terrific this season. The main reasons why we're top of the league probably. Not to mention Vidic, hernandez, nani, young, ferdinand. None of those players are good enough for united? 3 CL finals in the last 4 years.

[@Danesay]

@moonsugar1 Yeah but all ur really doing there is naming 4 or 5 of uniteds best players and saying theres nobody in the squad as good as them at the moment. and ur right. but that doesnt make it a bad side. u cant judge the strength of a side on one shirt number. For example: the current number 22 is paul scholes, do u know who it was in 98-99? erik nevland. doesnt mean anything. I agree that this isnt the best united side but to say none of the players are fit to wear the shirt is ridiculous.

Its ridiculous people still doesn't understand the difference between United and City's difference in spending. Players that United spent on have been bought within their means. E.g, Profits from sponsorships, shirt sales, advertisements, ticket sales etcetc. United's debts are NOT the result of their spending but rather their owners who decided to take over United WHILE they're in debt. Whereas City are spending foreign money that has been injected. Difference is when the owners leave.

Well... despite any accusations of greed, stupidity or whatever else... it'll be a shame to see him go. Rooney is a fantastic player to watch. In a day where strikers hit the ground crying like a baby when a defender gets within 6 feet of them, seeing someone who just wants to stay on the ball and stick it in the net is refreshing.
