Will Fergie hold on to Rooney one last full season like he did with Ronaldo?

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
My personal opinion - i think Rooney will make a U turn. He will realise over the next couple of months that there is no club like United.
I can only see City and Madrid putting in offers.
I hope the fans show him some love like we did for Tevez in his last few months.

In what way has he acted like a cnut?
Why would we sign a winger to replace a striker?
It's bittersweet. Part of that just filled me up with pride in how lucky we are so support this great club. Shame Rooney doesn't realize how lucky he is to be playing for United and under Fergie.
Spot on shouldn't have to hear it second hand from his Agent.
Very possibly. With Villa heading to Barcelona before we had our sniff, although that might even have been before we knew Rooney wanted out.
sad but true...
Surely the best result for us if he doesn't do a u-turn. Suppose that will also depend on the fans reaction towards him, will be interesting to hear the crowd chants tomorrow. Surely its got to be player swap deals, or players plus cash..
What offer would you take from;
Real
Barcelona
City
I personally would not accept any swap from City, even though they have great players now.. I couldn't watch Rooney play against us for them! Think VIDA would break him!
Real or Barca must have some good swap deals available though? What you thin

Wishing thinking?
Well, I dont think I want him to still be a United player after all this. Sadly.
This. As someone else said, Tevez wanted to play, Ronaldo had a dream, what's Rooney's reason? It's not like SAF is forcing him out like he did with Becks, Ruud or Keane.
He owes it to the fans to tell us the truth, but it appears he gives feck all about the fans and the club, so I don't expect him to say anything.
The worst part is yet to come. He'll sign with City, IMO.
feck that. The fans have NEVER stopped showing him love. He's stabbed the club, the managers, his fellow team mates and the fans in the back.
He did it with Everton yesterday,
He's done it to us Today,
and he'll do it to his next club tommorow.
The man is a shit cnut, and he was one before we bought him. We choose to ignore it, but lets not pretend we didn't know what he was.
I'm not sure if I want what you say to be true. Is there any way of coming back from this for Rooney?
I've rarely seen Fergie as emotional as he was in that interview
True. I m more worried about that than about a scouser packing his bags....
i hope that there 's not something else behind fergie getting emotional
Personally don't want to see him step on to the pitch for us. Doesn't deserve it to be honest. There are other players willing to bleed for this club. My support will always go first to them.
Why back up the player not the manager? Which fans? The fickle ones?
Ferguson has been at United for 24 years at the time Rooney was just born. How can you support Rooney in mutiny to show him that "there is no club like United."?
That's pure bollocks, mate, and you know it.
Thing is Fergie mentioned August 14 as the day he found out Rooney didn't want to sign and was shocked. Villa's transfer was wrapped before that.
Would be fun if he goes to Barca and doesn't get a game. Could be highly amusing.
I think if he went to City, they'd have to force Nev into retirement. Maybe somewhere with padded walls or something...
Calling SAF a liar is to me acting like a cnut, but we might have different views on that.
CIty must be offering him 200 grans a week. What other reason could he for leaving
Why play him though? His hearts not at the club, his brain doesn't exist. So why play him?
I can't imagine it if Rooney went to City and announced he left to have a fresh start over family reasons.
Maybe Rooney was doing Cathy too. Grandmother after all.
And let him go for free? I can't see Uncle Malc fancying that...
Big point raised on Talksport:
If the fans applaud Rooney when he comes on as would have happened any other time is that going to look like supporting him over fergie?

I have even always preferred him to Ronaldo.
However, he wants to go, he's told the manager, so bye Wayne. Thanks for the memories and thanks for giving your all over the past seasons.
Don't let the door hit you on the way out.
I'm glad he wasnt made captain inspite of a few calls to do so.
That's quite a feat, even for Hugh Hefner
Do you think Ronaldo would have left to play for his 'boyhood' club if he had not been offered 'crazy' money? But I agree he left in a much better way. Rooney comes across as a person who cannot really discipline himself, which was a quality I admired in Ronaldo. The insight into his personal betrayal of a pregnant wife (I'm not moralizing here. just using it as a way to glimpse into the man's mind) and his personal betrayal of a man who treated him as a son. Its a huge character flaw. People like that wont go far in life without tripping themselves up. In a way I feel sorry for him. He may get more money somewhere else, but he wont be looked after better than here.
Ronaldo acted professionally during his final season. I do hope Rooney can do the same.
He never bothered with our contract offer which we were willing to match or even better.
Listen to the MUTV Fergie interview. Fergie said that there was no offer because they didn't bother to listen to one.
Bizarre really how greedy footballers can be. As I said, he has everything at United. Being at United or Liverpool means so much more than Chelsea or City.
Best result for us is he goes to Madrid and we get 2 players + some cash.
Hopefully Benzema and maybe Kaka or Diarra. I know it'll never happen, but that's the best case scenario.
