very very harsh, admittedly this season has not really been up to his standard, but he is a world class player.
Maybe he does just need another challenge.

would not shock me if he was found to be the source of the leak.
Well, considering the timing of United confirming that he's asked for another transfer (two weeks ago!) it makes sense. United getting one back before he's shipped off.
Drop him from the squad for the next two games, give his winners medal to Powell.
All you sad princesses have is an internet connection. Calm the feck down.
If you'd asked me 24 hours ago, I would have said that Fergie intended to play Rooney in midfield next season. Now I'm not so sure.
If he really has asked to leave again be has to go, the new manager doesn't need a player who wants to be elsewhere creating a bad atmosphere, so take the money, thanks for the goals and bye bye.
If he hasnt he needs to get a statement out denying it ASAP or his position here will be untenable regardless. Either way, it's going to be an exciting summer.

What market?
There's only a handful of players who went for that kind of money and it doesn't happen every year.
I don't want Rooney at Chelsea, anyway and I can only see him going abroad, if he leaves.
Rooney out, Felliani in.
Second time Rooney has asked to leave...so thanks for the memories and feck off. As I said in the other thread, perfect opportunity to sign a wc mid that we desperately need.
There's only one manager that I'd want handling Rooney's departure and the introduction of Kagawa to playing as the main attacking midfielder for us.
Sir Alex
Sir Alex
Fergie retires, Rooney wants to leave (again), what's next?
Bye bye Rooney, moaning tosser.
Paul Scholes retiring
(again)
David Gill leaving too, Fletcher possibly gone too.
This could be our biggest exodus ever.
Certainly our most fecking depressing exodus.
Deary me, Rooney.
As if replacing the greatest manager ever with Moyes wasn't bad enough yesterday, now this! No wonder Rooney's been left out recently!
Still, presumably he's asked to leave because he's been reduced as the main man due to VP. But now Fergie's gone, maybe Moyes will have other ideas.
They patched their differences up...I think!
Wouldn't be a great intro for Moyes, selling Rooney!

Really it's just wr8. He's doing everything within in his power to say there's nothing in these reports. Maybe they are, maybe they aren't but it doesn't look great if the club have confirmed he made an informal request.
For me, if they are 100% true, Rooney has fecked himself over.
Rumors say Leon Osman is searching a house in Manchester
You are being one smug bastard today, aren't you? We get it, you don't like David Moyes, you think we are better off with Klopp or some fancy European name, just give it a bleeding rest.
Why does he always ask to leave in the middle of the bloody season? Keep your mouth shut and suck it up until the season ends/transfer window opens.
is it another one of these stupid attempts to get a wage hike, and he's gutted we've made it public?
Last time we shat our pants and allowed it, this time he may find we don't.
Finally making sense why the Lewandowski rumours carried on repeatedly

Wayne Rooney at 17 was a better player than he is today. Period.
This is the second time he did this and his only motive is more money. He is not the same player any more so as far as Im concerned, if he wants to leave, he can f**k off.

He had more unexpected flair and pace, but wasn't as well rounded.
You're remembering the explosive, rather than the all round game.
He certainly hasn't the same pace or fitness now. Can't see him getting much into his 30s, and hated the midfield role.
Rooney wanted big signings...got a few then found himself out of position or being subbed...goes to manager and crys....the guy is a prick of the highest order and to be honest, now that Alex has gone and we are obviously going to go through a massive transition, I'm quite happy to see him leave.
You could see for the last few months he's lost so much drive and passion and that is the strongest indecator its time he had another challenge. I just think we have got the best out of him. Physically he's not going to be one of those players who lasts, so come 30 odd he isn't going to be as effective no matter who he plays with.

Perhaps. Journos have been saying the reason for the late release was because it was only confirmed by the club today.
Fergie used to do his business early, so with Moyes not even yet in charge, what does that mean for potential transfers?
Clearly he'll have watched many of our games and have his own thoughts, but he'll need plenty of settling in time before he can go around lashing money out.
The Rooney thing is a horrible intro to the club. Hopefully he can calm him down, and assure him he'll be a key player, or sell for maximum money, but know we'll need a big player as a replacement.

Do they always have to respond in a timely fashion? I'm sure the circumstances might be a tad different if it was an official transfer request.
Yeah, but he was 6000% more likely to do something stupid and get sent off.
I would argue he had a better all round game, bar finishing, back then as well. Passing was better, still had that long range passing ability, ability to dribble, shot from distance more often.
Is there anything official about this or is this just a nerd on a pc making this crap up. If wazza comes out and says he wants to go then sell him and re-invest, but until this is officially confirmed I ain't gonna slag him off or start speculating
Usually there is speculation for a reason.. and with Rooney there has been previous, not to mention throughout the season where he has been dropped, looked disinterested etc. Too many pieces of puzzles fit it seems.
I say let him go. Second time of asking, clearly he isn't 100% happy here. Let him leave. No point being bitter about it. He's given us 9 or so fantastic years of service, while ending up very high up on United's goal scoring list.
I still love watching him play, because there aren't many players in his mould, so I won't lie to say I'm not disappointed in hearing this news, especially after yesterday's bombshell.
This will be a very busy Summer it seems. Getting Lewandowski suddenly looks pretty damn interesting, but I guess I'll be content going into next season with RVP, Kagawa, Hernandez and Welbeck.

I dunno if this speculation is true, but if it wasn't, surely someone from his side would come out and stamp the 'nonsense' stamp on it, no? Speculation was rife after the Madrid game, and nobody quashed the rumours then either.
I love Wayne Rooney, but I don't understand Wayne Rooney, and perhaps he doesn't understand himself. Perhaps he doesn't understand the power of his own words and what they can mean to so many people. If he wants to leave, then that's fine. He's entitled to wish to leave, but he wanted to leave before, and he backtracked on it a day later.
In his book, which I sadly read (It's awful, but I was interested in what he had to say - not alot). he stated that wishing to leave was the biggest regret of his life. He vowed never to let it happen again, and stated oncemore (like he did a couple of years previous to the first transfer debacle) that he wanted to be at United for the rest of his career.
Only 3 years down the line, here we are again. What were his initial reasons for leaving? The ambition of the club, and the lack of top quality players coming in? So we bring in one of the best strikers on earth who then shines a spotlight on Rooney as being inferior to him, we win 2 out of 3 titles since the original let-me-go pleas and now he wishes to leave again? So really he either meant he wanted us to bring in players who were good, but not as good as him, or really it was just a smokescreen for "give me more money".
Of course, I'm speaking purely as if the rumours are true, which I do believe they are. If it turns out that Rooney himself quashes all rumours about him wishing to leave, then I'll eat my words gladly.

My feeling is he doesn't want to leave as much as he wants to play football week in-week out in his preferred position. He's missed out on that lately. He didn't show it in public (unlike his wife) but he must have felt insulted when left out against Real.
If Moyes can convince him that will change here next year, he might change his mind. If Moyes can't make that promise, it's time to cash in anyway.

Now that Fergie has gone I doubt we will get Lewandowski, it will be harder to get top players for a bit I reckon. If Welbeck could learn to score goals, I would be much happier going into the season with those four!!
Perhaps Colleen had a hand in this. She was visibly unhappy when we didn't start him against Madrid.
I don't really care if he goes like I did last time.
I'm not arsed tbh, he's been fading at United for quite awhile, probably the best thing for both parties that he leaves.
