His level declined way earlier than it should have, but a club legend nonetheless. Best luck to the lad!

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 was there that day. It was the first United game I had gone to in about 4 years but we were incredible that day. Rooney and Ronaldo were just unplayable and that goal was just superb.
Until the last couple of years I never had a problem with Wayne. I can't feel anything but glad he's going though, which is a shame as I thought I'd be a bit sad when it actually happened.
Feck me I was 20 years old when he joined.
That's a lot of memories.
That's a lot of memories.
I doubt he would be able to play against us if this was true? That would be a clear conflict of interest
No I'm not an elite sportsman of any kind.
I'm a normal bloke who works hard for 4.5 days a week and makes up for it on the other 2.5.
Loved him, hated him, ambivalent to him. Will be odd seeing him in another shirt again but not sad to see him go.
Definitely, can he use his left foot?
They say he's a legend.
A superb team player. Hope he has little resurgance with no pressure and deliver whereever he's put on the pitch.
Maybe I'm just a romantic but now that it's actually happening, it feels sadder than I expected. Last few years have been incredibly frustrating but I'm happy he was able to get the record and finish off his trophy haul this season while not kicking up too much fuss. Glad he's able to end it like he wants and we get to move on to a new era.
Or a fat pig that's lost its ball control ?
He's shite now and he needs to go but it suddenly feels really sad.
He's been great over the years, all the best Wayne.

Rooney is one of my favourite United players ever. He's such a huge player for the club and it's a void that needs to be filled quickly with a new talisman.
Hopefully he has a great season and gets to go with England as a starter somehow, he always seems to care about the England team.

I feel sorry for Everton fans
Same here
Well if he can't at the moment, he's going to have plenty of the ball next season to practice with
I think Mourinho deserves a lot of credit for the way this has all been handled. Seemingly lowering his playing time last season while keeping him happy and now getting rid of him without much friction or bad feeling. He will be remembered very highly Rooney in years to come but i'm sure plenty of fans will be relieved we can now upgrade out strike force without him as an option.
End of an era really.
He's not actually stopping at Finch Farm - it's just that his brakes failed after leaving the drive-through.
Bout time.
He'll probably need neck massages too watching that ball loft over to him.
Why the feck would we fund his wages? We might as well keep him as a bench option if we are still paying him.
Not as much as his distance covered stat, chasing the ball, mind.
What's the point in taking up a spot on the bench with a crap player?
That's worse for us than Everton.
Well said. I hope Koeman can get something out of him again. He's achieved a lot in the game and deserves to go out on a good note.
Right time for him to leave. Although his form over that last few seasons maybe didn't justify his position here at times, he still really deserved to be our all time top scorer. Delighted he got there.
Only felt real watching him pull into Everton's training ground - it still caught me a little to think this fella is actually leaving us
Thanks for the memories Roo. Brilliant servant to the club overall. Legend by all accounts. Hope you have fun and find form back at Everton

Jesus H. Rooney, my dog's funeral wasn't as maudlin as this crap.
Not a club legend? Come on mate...
I was there for that match and couldn't believe what we had signed. It's been a roller coaster since but he has been a good servant of the club and a true legend.
He might not be good enough these days, but if we are still paying his wages he'd be useful to the younger players in the team with his experience and influence in the dressing room. Plus, an injury to one of Lukaku or Rashford and we are short in the striking department. I just don't agree with the notion of paying someone to play for someone else. Either way, I think it's bollocks - we won't be paying his wages.
Sad to see him go, but did not want him to tarnish his legacy anymore here, absolute legend of a playerfor me and do not care about any of his money demands or tabloid crap
SO happy hes going. Sorry Wayne but youve been on the wane for too long, thanks for the early years
A long decline, that started with his injury in the semi-final against Bayern in 2010 and went into freefall the past 3 years or so. Doesn't look able at the top level anymore. Hope I'm wrong and he has an Indian summer for Everton, but somehow I doubt it.
I hope we put a % sell on clause for when he inevitably goes to China or the US for millions.
Bye Wayne. A total legend for the club and history will judge you as such.
We really always will remember the name.

Haha. Look at the supposed United fans mocking other United fans for being appreciative for the services of a legend who now departs after what can effectively be termed as an era. Started watching football because of his aggressive and wonderful performances, was my favorite player even when Ronaldo was here and was playing at his peak. So yeah, IT IS sort of sad for me, personally, and for some others. Bye Wazza.
