Why? If he wants to leave, wouldn't you rather a true legend keeps that spot?
This thread is comedy! From both sides of the aisle.
I don't, not if he wants out again. He's given us a lot of years of his time and has done extremely well for us but this will be the second time he's tried to force his way out. It's also the second time he's done it in already shitty situations for the club, granted he apparently wasn't aware of Sir Alex's retirement plans at the time.
Bloody hell.
Is this a case of saying he's not for sale just so his price doesn't drop?
Why the christ would the club possibly announce he wanted to leave unless he was actually leaving, all that would do is make his position untenable with a huge number of fans.
You've got a nice line in irony going here. Keep it up.
erm, the Fergie rumors yesterday?!? People were using the exact same logic. Cognitive dissonance indeed
Swap with Spurs for Bale. Yes please.
They're probably saying not for sale so the price won't drop. He has two years left. We are in position of strength. I feel for some of our fans if Rooney does leave. If he does, he has my blessing.
Some fans get way too attached to one player. It's not healthy.

Twitter my shitter
And why today of all days would they put that out there?
It's happening already, and he's only been retired a day.
Don't you think if it was true we'd see pictures of it every time it happened?
The 'animosity' towards Rooney from many fans doesnt just come from nowhere. Its not like a load of us just woke up one day and thought, I know, lets all hate Wayne Rooney.
It comes from the fact he, and his agent, treated the club and Fergie like shit in 2010, just to get a nice fat contract. And to add insult to injury, he hasnt exactly backed up the wages he managed to get with his performances has he?
Many people have been able to forgive him, move on etc etc. But also, many havent. And I dont see why thats such a shock tbh.

I think, if I remember rightly, it was Mr MUJAC who said it. So a fairly trustworthy person, I'd say.
As expected the club rejected his request as he's one of our most valuable assets but if he isn't happy at the club then it's best for both parties if he moves onto another club. It will be interesting to see what excuse he uses this time.
The interest in Falcao and Lewandowski suggests United would sell. I think he has really looked out of sorts for most of the season, and needs a change of direction.
We have not officially confirmed he asked to leave. There are no quotes doing so. The only quotes are from a spokesman which said "Rooney is not for sale".
The idea we confirmed the story comes from the journos who got fed the information off the record, they clearly don't know the meaning of the word.

So you're just being completely irrational then... You've been begging for our 4th all time goalscorer leave the club for months, and then when he asks to leave, he's out of order for doing so?
Not to Chelsea! Definitely
We don't want to make the same mistakes as Wenger.

I don't think anyone's attached, any real feeling I had for him was tarnished in 2010 and it's never got back to that same level I'm afraid. If he leaves that is up to him, I don't get why anyone would hold it against him. If we didn't have RVP I'd care a lot more.
These spokesperson quotes on the BBC saying "Wayne Rooney is not for sale" are probably just the same ones DT and the other journos were banging on about. About how Rooney asked 2 weeks back and was told he's going to be sold and then The Guardian asked United and they said he's "not for sale". So essentially, what the BBC have up on their site now is nothing different from the Tweets we've been reading for the past hour or two.
He won't play another game for us
He's Finnished at United. Denmark my words.
United have come out and made a statement to somebody that Rooney is not for sale. Sky are reporting it
If he'd really asked for a move 2 weeks ago, I don't think Fergie would have played him vs Villa, Arsenal or Chelsea. Anyway, weren't these same tabloids saying that Rooney wanted a new contract just two and a half weeks ago? Bizarre
If Moyes get the job, Rooney is finished. I will have Rooney over Moyes. In fact, feck Moyes.
I've been saying this a while, he seems to be cruising through games and looks like a man in need of a new challenge.
Am I the only one who honestly doesn't give a feck whether he goes or not?
Give it a rest, for heavens sake.
Wayne is not a classy guy - he'd shag a grieving widow on her husband's coffin.
No there are loads of people like you on here who dont care.

If Fergie wasn't going as well no
It's two big aspects of Man Utd to loose in one summer now though
Good because I couldn't care less if he goes. Bigger and better players have gone and we've replaced them and his stock has fallen big time
I'd never sell him to Chelsea. Even if we got Ronaldo back.

Brilliant.
I honestly dont want him to go but if he does then I hope we get £30m+ for him and also hope we sell him somewhere abroad if he does go.
Amen.
He was always a tool, but he was our tool to defend. One transfer request is forgivable, a second after a season where he looks half arsed isn't. Just let him go.
I can't trust anyone who's name is Ladyman.
