Of course Rooney would consider it! sure twice the wage's & City will need a replacement for Tevez who is likely to walk after this season

Denial me hole! Ronaldo wanted out in 2008 & Fergie increased his value by keeping him longer & if the Rooney story is true he'll try to do the same again with him

Have you even listened to magpie? Rooney's contract has only about 20 months to run, which if stories are true he is not going to renew/extend. Therefore if bacon face keeps he longer as you say the only thing that will happen is his value will decrease. At least in January they will still get a decent fee, cause the next 2 transfers after this window they will get peanuts compared to what he is actually worth

[nrico2006]

Until we hear what Fergie says today or what Rooney actually thinks then nobody knows what is going on.  I don't think he is going anywhere.  The biggest worry is still the Glazers, is there any sign of getting rid of them?  Out of the millions of United fans out there, there is bound to be one with the connections to employ a Jackal style Assassin to take them out.

Have to say that headline has to be in the running for the most misleading headline ever.

Am I the only one that thinks this whole Rooney thing is just a load of old shite??

The story is now starting to turn towards Rooney not being happy with lack of investment in new 'world class' players. Could it all be a cunning plan to get $$$ from the americans?

Oh sneaky. That's why they dropped points against WBA, and VDS threw wan into the net.

Crafty, crafty.

It it's a choice between keeping the manager or Rooney I reckon the club should bite the bullet and show the dinosaur that is Ferguson out the door. He is past his sell by date-doing a great impersonation of the late Brian Clough in his latter days as manager. Some baffling decisions. Rooney will be a top player long after Fergie has left the scene

Any United Supporter who thinks the above is seriously a sorry individual. Fergie has had one way traffic with funds(leaving the club), over the last couple of years. He is dealing with a slave club to the Glaziers. How he is keeping the Club at the top is a minor miracle. There's little or no one who could do much better at the moment. Clearly you were not around in the mid 80's when Utd were a joke.

* on a footnote, this could be his season to leave as the club is Fecked!

Au contraire- I have been United follower for many's a year- have seen countless sides from the dark days of Dave Sexton through to now. IMO Ferguson is losing touch with modern game. Not helped by financial constraints either right enough. Should be bending over backwards to keep Rooney

Is this just another throw away remark like 'past his sell by date', or is there any substance behind it?

Two Premier league titles and a Champions League crown in the last three years. I'd wager a few managers out there would love to be that out of touch.
