Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has
confirmed Wayne Rooney has asked for a transfer away from Old Trafford.
Rooney, 27, was not in United's squad for the 2-1
win over Swansea on Sunday in Ferguson's final home game before retiring at the
end of the season.
“We have refused it,” said Ferguson about Rooney’s
transfer request.
For the first time in a long time there’s some uncertainty
seeping out of Old Trafford, Ferguson going and now Rooney wanting out.
When Moyes comes in could he sell Rooney for the second
time?
Funny thing is given the form Rooney has shown for
the last 6 months, I can’t think who would want him.
There was a rumour that he wanted to go to Bayern
Munich, but they don’t need him, and they’ll probably get Lewandowski instead.
I highly doubt Real or Barca want him, the Italian
league has been hit by one too many match-fixing scandals and is a mess, so he
probably won’t go there.
The only team left really is PSG, but that means
playing in the French league.
This could be quite amusing a player who clearly wants
to leave but has nowhere to go.
If he does find somewhere to go I hope he succeeds,
just to shut the pie-holes of all the ex-united players, who are now pundits, who
come out with biased crap like: why would you want to leave, going anywhere
else is a step down, everyone who leaves Man United doesn’t have the same kind
of success and blah blah blah.
I would like to point out to all of them that there
are other teams out there who players who leave United can join and be
successful at, there are plenty of examples but the most notable one has to be
Gerard Pique.
He left United in 2008 to join Barcelona, and at
the weekend made it trophy number 15 with the Catalan club so it can be done.
