In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran are here to talk about a frustrating 2 points dropped at Crystal Palace. They then discuss the regeneration of Old Trafford. Finally, Nik is joined by special guest Michael Statham from the Football Oranje podcast - who gives us a more in depth look at our EL opposition FC Twente, and then runs through the (many) Dutch connections currently at United.

I'm glad he's staying too. I cant believe he's being called a parasite by a Manchester United supporter.

Doesn't bother me because it's quite obvious this is his last season anyway, he could still come off the bench or be an option in games where our better players are rested.
Fffffuuuuuu
Basically a good thing he's staying for the rest of the season, but I really hope we can replace him during the summer!

Apparently, it's better if Mourinho doesn't have that option. I mean, he's only one of the best managers in all of history. And he only chooses to throw Rooney into almost every game he's fit for.
It's almost like Mourinho sees something that armchair fans aren't able to see because he has a better understanding of football than everyone else.
If you ignore the wages (which I can, because I don't care), you won't find a more productive and influential sub anywhere.
Nicely back tracked, oh no no I didn't mean that point I meant "IF" lol
Lingard is shite and offers less hence why is way down the pecking order, Blackburn looked too good for him.
Multiple managers have chosen him as their leader so that speaks volumes and is safe to say he is a leader whether on or off the pitch, facts speak for them self.
I agree Zlatan seems a good leader but you can't tell me that because I'm not actually in the dressing I'm not allowed to say Rooney is a positive influence, only to then go on to say Zlatan is better haha
Some funky double standards going on here
Really disappointed if he doesn't go, we could do with his wages for Griezman etc.
But it would be mous fault for selecting the wrong team selection for fecks sake!!!
He will leave at the end of the season, he's surplus to requirements. He can still help this season as we have a lot of games coming thick and fast, injuries, resting our key players etc. He could be an option.
He's off in the summer which is absolutely fantastic news. Fine with him being a body to rest key players in won / unimportant games for the remainder of this season. Should never be used as an impact player though. Fluke free kick against Stoke aside he has contributed nothing for years.
His wages won't affect our ability to sign anyone. We're rich, bi-atch!
I don't get this obsession with our accounts. There really is no difference between being excited about Rooney going to free up wages and signing another sponspor to boost the bank balance. As long as the money is there, and it most certainly is, just be happy we have a substitute with a goal/assist every 106 minutes in the PL and EL, who's willing to fight for his place.
So you don't think the club has a target of wages as a proportion of revenue?
The wage bill is a massive budgetary influence for PL clubs, I'd rather be paying out top wages to someone who is contributing a lot for top wages. He's way past his best, we've paid him a fortune, and he's contributing very little, just get the feck over Wayne fecking Rooney.
So he should just pick a team where he wants to play and that team should take him. Is that how it works?
Our wage to turnover ratio is not a concern. We're the best in England and the big sides in Europe don't come close either.
Harry Redknapp thinks he'd be a triffic player for Arsenal

Have you heard of ROI?
If we could pay Griezman the same, it would be an immense ROI compared to Rooney.
I don't cheer Balance Statements. I don't get excited when I see P+L accounts. I don't a hard on when someone talks about Cash Flow.
I support a football team who's finances are healthy. Rooney is in no way hindering our chances of success, either on the pitch or off it. We make too much money for his wages to impact anything.
Redknapp was about right when he said his agent likely didn't get the deal he wanted in China, so it left Rooney with little option to say he's staying, if not he would have said something earlier.
In the absence of a injury crisis I doubt we'll see much of him at all now, I just hope things are done smoothly with him in the summer.

I think he's past his sell by date, and that it's naive to think there's a never ending budget for players. Ultimately Rooney's wages are keeping someone else(s) out of the squad.
Bingo.
The world and its uncle can see Rooney's not what he was half a dozen years ago. Nobody is going to pay him what Moyes agreed to, even clubs in China. He staying because his wages at Utd are better than anything he can get elsewhere. Anyone who can't see that is blind.
China ain't interested!
If playing is what drives him then he'd drop his wages to go to a team that would play him as a main first 11 player, are you telling me that if he told his agent to let clubs know he'd drop his wage to 90k a week, that several of the mid table PL teams wouldn't want to buy him?
What drives him is playing at the highest level possible, even if that means a reduction in minutes.
I'd rather play 10 minutes per season for United than 3000 in China.

Don´t get the hate about him. The club is rich enough, he deserves the money after what he has done for this club...
Hardly, I was talking about the now. I agree the money isn't the biggest concern from now till summer, but minutes perhaps I would give to someone else who I feel can make more a of a contribution. Both fair points though, from now till end of the season.
Still don't see how it equates to not being a United fan though.
Fair point mate they do all seem to be like that in recent years.
I mean if you read what I said in my other post a couple ago and actually READ what I said then you wouldn't feel I had backtracked. You're boring now have a good evening, don't go round creating too much drama my little sunshine.
So the "boy that just wants to play football", is now "the man that only wants to play top flight football and would rather sit on the bench than earn a living at a lower level".
Doesn't have much of a ring to it.
Haha can't debate further so tries to belittle the poster, standard troll.
Pleased he is staying because he offers much needed experience in our busy run in.
Even if in your opinion it shows "a lack of ambition " (you sound a lot like Rooney there) to keep the clubs greatest scorer for 5 months longer
He's a street footballer. So long as it's Easy Street.
And so long as it's his ball and he's playing where he wants and he gets to pick his team.
It would have been different if he actually played 10 minutes every game. He's barely fit to get a minute. Highest level of benching more like
Fluke free kick almost had me, then I read hasn't contributed anything for years haha the hatred is strong in this one
There's nothing wrong with what he said. You've just decided he's the boogey-man so every utterance has some kind of hosility/malice to it.
What would your decision have been in Rooney's position?
Fond of assumptions, aren't you? For instance, I've never played Football Manager.
I'm sorry I don't understand I don't see anything wrong with his quote but is that your point?
He was saying he needed a chance to show he can adapt, I don't see where entitlement comes in surely that's just common sense
