Save his career? What? He is done, he's had a career and now it's over. He doesn't need to save anything. Can just carry on doing what he wants as he pleases.

That article saying he can trigger a further year on his contract has got to be wrong surely?! How on earth could we leave ourselves that vulnerable? Was Ed on drugs when he agreed to this shit?! He should have his pay frozen for making such a dumb ass deal.
In the meantime, if true that Rooney wants to hang around then let him collect his money (it's his right) but move on by first leaving him at home - no taking up a spot on the pre-season tour. Furthermore, tell him he won't be making the bench under any circumstances.
I was ambivalent before and thought he should remain club captain at least if he's still here, but have changed my mind - strip him of it completely.

He should be paying David Moyes a cut for getting him that contract.
It's believable. We offered him a contract guaranteeing him a job after retirement ffs.
How do we know Moyes didn't benefit from it under the quiet? Moyes loves money as much as Rooney, so the cynical side of me wouldn't be surprised if it didn't happen.
Do not want him as an ambassador. Would be better to pay him off and tear up the dam contract. That man should never represent our club.
Because since Ferguson left we have been managed appallingly. We let a declining fat scouse twat bend us over take what he wanted again.
This, Rooney will have earned more than the likes of Robben in his career.
Let that sink in.
He's also earned United far more than Robben has for any club.
Rooney is the United and England all time leading goal scorer - let that sink in.
He needs to go, not being disrespectful as he was a stand-out player for United over a number of years, but he needs to accept he isn't good enough for United any more and take a step down. If he stays, he is just taking up even a squad place that would be better given to someone else.
I don't like saying it, but his days as a United player should be over, but wherever he goes - if he leaves - I would wish him all the best.
MLS or China would be his best options, but I don't think he wants to go abroad for family reasons, which is fair enough.

I'm wondering whether part of it is the fact that Coleen is very into being close to her family and doesn't want to move away from the area. Ideally Everton would have been place for him to go...but obviously they don't want him!
I don't believe that he has the option, surely it's more the other way round. Even if he does have that option and activates it the club can just let him sit in the stands.
He is the personification of the club's demise.
What do people expect...he leaves quietly?
This is a guy and his agent, that has fecked us over in two big contract extensions.
I am in no doubt he knows his time is up.
I am also in no doubt, that he doesn't give a shite as long as he gets his money.
He has the opportunity to earn another 30m at this club.
He's not leaving unless we pay him close to that amount or he gets it at another club.
As far as he would be concerned, a 10m offer is a joke.

I believe it.
I won't be surprised if he took the option once it was signed. The club announced his contract runs till 2019.
This club was the very definition of desperate when Rooney signed that contract.
We were 7th in the table and were on the verge of civil war among fans over the manager.
Woodward would have done anything to get what could have been perceived as a win.
We offered him a contract guaranteeing him a role as a club ambassador when he retires.
I've never heard anything like that before.
Agreed
If he sticks around as a useless parasite for 2 more years he may become the first hated club ambassador ever. Though I doubt that even two more years of this shit would make his biggest supporters turn on him. They'll just say he's entitled to the money and deserves respect for the goal records etc.
There are plenty of clubs in the north west that would have him if he lowered his wage demands. Bottom line is it's his choice if he stays or goes. We'll see if his mates in the media are right about him just wanting to play football.
I hate Gary Neville even more for write that piece of sh!t last week.

He has one year remaining on his current contract isn't it ?
(Don't tell me there are two more years left).
Sorry to break it to you.
2019 is the year.
Phew
You had me for a moment !
Just checked, it ends in 2018.

Surely another scouse twat in Owen holds this title firmly with Liverpool.

Read the article. he signed a 5.5 year contract in 2014.
He has two years left.
We've reached a new low with the level of personal abuse in this thread. All time top scorer and key player during one of the most successful periods in the club's history.
At the end of the day he's owed another year on whatever he's on. Why the feck should he just walk away from that?
To play football? Maybe have a bit of personal pride in himself and his career?
Phew

Personal pride? Behave. I'm sure he'd rather remain close to his friends and family (which includes 2 small children) for another year than move away just to please some fans.
Think most people would drop that for 30m to be fair.
This is absolutely unbelievable.
I hope United appoint a new captain in the coming week and he doesn't even get a place on the bench for the rest of the season, that will do really good for that greedy overweight man.
It's funny.
The majority of the caf and fans in general don't realise he has two years left.
The meltdown when reality starts to sink in will be epic.
I can't begrudge him wanting his money because obviously it's his contract, but if he stays he should never make the bench, and maybe he will realise he needs to move and goes in January, if he stays after that, all this bollox about him just wanting to play is well, bollox.
We could agree to pay him 100k if he fecks off and possibly somehow a stupid club is out there who would pay him say 75k, Stoke for instance, and all parties would be happy apart from his new club who'd soon realise what they have.
Yes he's top scorer for club and country, so why doesn't he start acting like it and move to prolong his career as he's not good enough for us and if he doesn't realise this, surely someone has at least hinted to him.
Good luck Wayne but it's time to go.

We left it too late he knows there's no point having ambition as his England career is over.

I'm still absolutely convinced the final year is the club's option. All the journalists who appear to have been briefed by the Rooney camp and the ones that have been apparently briefed by the club are all saying that the club hold the keys to that final year.
I think the most likely scenario is that Rooney stays this summer and gets his captaincy removed by Mourinho who will no longer give a shit about whether it looks like he and the club are trying to push him out as they've done everything they can to allow him to leave with dignity and they will no longer worry about loyalty payment disputes.
Rooney will struggle to get any minutes whatsoever and in January will agree a deal to move for free in the summer and the club will allow him to leave straight away on loan "so he has a chance of getting in the England squad".
Michael Owen is a LFC ambassador?! After spending years at Man Utd? That's too funny.
This leaves no doubt that even he knows he's finished.
To have to pay him is frustrating, to ever let him play again would be farcical.

Fatman - The Lardy Blight
This seems like a reasonable turn of events. Until it is confirmed by reliable sources I refuse to believe that Rooney can unilaterally extend his contract until 2019.
Is it not even more worrying that he would rather sit on the bench collecting wages than playing somewhere regularly with a World Cup coming up next year?
