Good work. We better not let him go after all this.

To coin a Glasgow phrase, his face was tripping him when he first appeared, seems he can't resist having a pop.
He'll be gone, don't worry.
Moyes might be right, I wanted to manage a different club on fifa but decided to wait and eventually I decided to stay and now I'm on the verge of the treble.
Who are you going to support next season, mate? Arsenal showing interest in 'Wazza' again surely has your dream of moving your season ticket to the Matthew Harding Stand in jeopardy...
I just can't see any way back for him and it has no positive effect on us if he stays. A Rooney that wants out is probably going to be fecking useless.
The distraction and backlash from the support will be disruptive too. I already heard songs about him today at Wembley which will no doubt be sung this season.
Loved this interview from Moyes. He is very quickly growing into this role. Give him a few months, with some signings and results under his belt and he will rightfully carry the entire weight of Manchetser United with him
We should give him a testimonial and then not play him.
I think you are going to be very disappointed very soon, I dont see any way back for Rooney and Chelsea are the only bidder's so far.
You of course know that United don't need to sell ? We can afford to keep Rooney for one season. His value will drop £10-15 million but we will lose more if we sell him. I am not saying United will NOT sell Rooney - I am just saying it would be stupid to sell to Chelsea for that kind of money now - when we probably can get £15-20 million next summer as well
We'll see. We won't be selling to Chelsea in my opinion, only bidder or not.
The newspapers may be telling us that we will be, we have no choice and Rooney holds all the cards etc.
I disagree, I think we're bigger than that.
I know we dont have to sell him, I just want this ended ASAP and if that means we have to sell to Chelsea, then so be it.
Ah moyes, already sounding a bit like fergie with the media. I remember that presser fergie gave once where he went off on one saying, "well because it's the way youse behave...why would I want to come and talk to you people??"
Brilliant stuff from Moyes that. Fergie would be smiling at that.
That's very different from thinking that's what the club will do, it's what you want.
Nah feck that, it's not worth selling to Chelsea no matter what they offer.

I dont think there is a way back for him, Moyes to sell him and stamp his authority on the team, of course this could back fire on him badly.
He is in a no win situation, sell him and we start to lose and who ever buys him starts to win he will get hammered on here and in the press, keep him and he plays like he did towards the end of last season, we will have a team just carring a player that neither wants to play or is trying to play.
Just my personal opinion, not based on anything other than what I have read and seen.

This x1000.
Some of you just want to get rid of Rooney because this saga has dragged on for a while now.
If Rooney goes to Chelsea they'll win the league IMO.

Vidic wants him to stay. Good words from him about it:
Manchester United captain Nemanja Vidic has questioned why striker Wayne Rooney would want to leave "the best club in the world".
United have rebuffed two bids from Chelsea for Rooney, who missed today's 2-0 FA Community Shield win over Wigan with a shoulder injury.
David Moyes has repeatedly insisted Rooney is not for sale, including after the Wembley win, and Vidic hopes the England forward will still be at Old Trafford following the closure of the transfer window on September 3.
"I believe Man United is the biggest club in the world and I think there's no point to go anywhere (else)," Vidic said.
"There's so much speculation, so much talk about whether he'll leave or stay. He's at the best club in the world.
"I have to say the last four years I was in that position as well. People were talking about me leaving the club.
"I'm still here and I'm enjoying playing for this club. Nothing has changed."
Rooney was reported to be unhappy after Moyes, intentionally or not, suggested Robin van Persie was his number one strike option.
Vidic believes Rooney and Van Persie, who scored both goals at Wembley, can be a prolific partnership again this season for the defending Barclays Premier League champions.
The Serbia defender added: "Definitely. No question about that.
"They're both top forwards and so much rumours over the years, players coming, players leaving. This is part of the show."

So because you want this ended ASAP, you'd be willing to let one of the best strikers in the world move to our title rivals?
Yes you are right, but is that not what most of the options are on here, what the poster wants.
None of us know what the club really wants, we dont even know what Rooney really wants.
not willingly no, but sometimes shit happens.
By the same token, you can't keep a £30 million player when he wants to leave. If he only wants to go to Chelsea then what can we do? United have been in this position when buying before and we always gwtt our man.
Yes there is that, but if you have a player that really does not want t play, even the best manager is going to find it hard.
True. I'm talking what I believe the club will do, based on what they and Moyes have said.
Why can't we keep him? We don't need the money and he has 2 years on his deal anyway. I'd rather keep an unhappy Rooney rather than let him go to Chelsea. An unhappy Ronaldo did well enough in his final season here as well.
But was Ronaldo unhappy in his last season, he had been asked to stay by SAF on the promise that he will be sold to his dream club the following season and he was happy with that and did very well for us in that season.
Swap him for Fellaini and Baines and Barkley?
Not if he plays like he did last season.
He is past his best in my opinion and I don't think we want to extend his contract in its current form. Fergie is a wise old owl and I believe he knew it was time to get rid, but of course the value saving rhetoric of "he isn't going anywhere" started with Fergie and has continued successfully.
Mourinho though, needs to take a leaf out of Wenger's book and understand how to go about being respectful to other clubs. His nonsense to the Press concerning Waynetta is very unprofessional. I do hope he goes, but not to Chelsea, just to piss Mourinho off.
If the rumors about Rooney being upset with what Moyes said about RVP being his 1st option is true, then I dont get Rooney. He is fighter. Wouldnt he want to prove everyone wrong that he can be better than RVP given the chance? I know you are one of the best players in the world but just because you have proven yourself before, doesnt mean you cant do it again.
Would say there's more than that. He was rumoured to want out before that. But I still don't get it - Fergie didn't pick up for a few games because he was under-performing. Fergie's gone now. New manager, new challenge. I don't understand. I still think that he's actually scared to turn back due to the backlash he might receive from fans. I genuinely believe that.
Sometimes with players, it really just isn't worth the hassle. Rooney's obviously decided that his career is fizzling out a bit at OT and wants to move. Selling him to Chelsea wouldn't be ideal but it might get rid of potential poison in the squad.
