Mourinho was working on Martial at the time. Has he played that much really though? I'd be surprised if he's played more than 180mins in the last 2 months.

Would I be cynical to think any new articles on this tonight and tomorrow will be in response to Jose's non-commital comments about him today rather than any actual new information being unearthed by the hacks, regardless of how they dress it up? 
Mou probably doesn't see any long term future for him but thinks he still brings something to the table right now. A decision that turned out for the best against Stoke anyway.
I'm wondering this too
I doubt anyone else is going to be after him so £25m-£35m I think.
I was hoping for something ridiculous like the Oscar £60m but I doubt we will get that lucky

This is probably right.
You could make the same argument for Darmian. I doubt he is going to stay beyond the summer. For different reasons they still get minutes, but I don't think it's an indication for their future.

Probably. It's also possible that the comments meant Rooney's team were contacted to comment or they contacted their journalist mates to get their thoughts out there.
I looked at his mins from Jan

0 St Ettiene
0 Blackburn
Apparently injured and ill for lots of these games
His time has come and there are hopfully a few others on the way out in the summer also (darmian,Fellaini,Schweinsteiger,Young). I trust Mourinho to make 3 to 5 great signings like he did last summer and take us back to where we belong. I think Mourhino has handled the Rooney situation very well.
McDonnell who broke the story close to a month ago.
We could make a profit on the transfer fee. Chinese clubs offering us 30m quid. That's incredible.

"Goodbye Rooney Tuesday"
However much bullshit that turns-out to be, that's a great headline He's played a lot more than that. Like Attila said he played a part in every game so far this year apart from when he was "injured"/injured. I remember a lot being mad that he came on for Carrick at half time vs Hull.
Everyone else has reported £30m. He probably made that number up
So, this is it? no more Rooney Rooney
Quite sad he lost it a bit early, he could've beat Shearer's record too

Isn't the £30m what United will get? £1m a week being his wages?
Of course he can turn the money down. Whether he will is another matter.
He's in a position where he has a truckload of money to keep him and his family in total luxury for the rest of their natural lives. Why not do what you want rather than chase yet more money in China? Unless he really does want to play there.
We should get way more than £30m when you consider what much lesser names are going for. And it's the name that counts for the Chinese league right now - Rooney would put their league on the map
That has never stopped anyone from pursuing more money, let alone someone whose skill and money making potential is coming to an end.
Selling him to China would be great for us.
I was always a massive Rooney fan, but his decline is far too sharp to keep him around. He's just taking up space unfortunately.

No I think the wages are meant to be £32m-36m a year (around 600-700k a week). That's the figure mentioned in the telegraph article today. I don't think there's been much reporting on the fee we would get
Bit sad if he were to go mid season, but you'd be mad to say no to that money for
Him.
Him.
Good point on talksport. The club cannot guarantee getting that kind of money in the summer. Rooney could suddenly change his mind and say, he wants to stay in England. The club would be fecked and have to pay him off. You can understand why the club might be keen on getting rid now, even if it looks slightly off.
Unless we get a minimum of £50m for him then we should defer transfer until summmer.
The Chinese league might have imploded by the summer!
Something has clearly been going on these past few weeks and Mourinho being open to discuss him a fair bit the night before a European game suggests so even more.
No, he could decide he doesn't want to go there anymore. China is the only place the cub could make any money for him.
The fact we could spend £25.6m on him, according to Wikipedia, have him here for 13 years, he wins everything there is to win, scores 250 goals, and then we make a profit on his sale is incredible
Starting to sound like he may be off next week which surprises me to be honest. Probably for the best though.

I get that many on here don't like him and he is not playing to the level expected but surely we still need him as an option from now to the end of the season?
Also, this is no way for him to leave, it would feel like he was leaving through the back-door.

I still think he will stay. Not because the club don't want to sell but, because Rooney isn't keen,
I think he'll go in the Summer yeah.
I'd be very surprised if he leaves this month. It just seems a bit quick. I'd imagine the club like the idea of getting a big fee for a player whose transfer value must otherwise be near nil due to the wages he's on, but Rooney probably knows he can get the same deal in the summer if he can't get anything better in the meantime.
Should get 50m at least.
Im assuming 35m is his wages and not his actual fee

Be surprised if its before the summer, but Mourinho latest comments makes me think its possible
If he stays he has a punt at 3 more trophies and as mentioned, would get the same deal in the summer.
