There was gossip about a loan deal last night - easier said than done, but maybe they really are trying for "a cooling off period / trial separation" or something like that so he can play while his future gets sorted (or be benched by somebody else if he can't get his act together).
MERGED: Rooney signs new contract!
- Thread starter 42 euros
- Start date

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.

Haha what the hell?
Nemanja Vidic has contacted ManUtd.com to correct a story that appeared on another website, DailyMail.co.uk, earlier today.
The United captain was misquoted by the Mail, making it appear that he was talking about Wayne Rooney. In fact, the word Nemanja used in a post-match interview was 'Rumour' - not 'Rooney' - and his quote should have read as follows:
"Rumour is going around and talking about the bad playing, or something happening around the club with the Glazers, it is not good for the players and not good for the team."
The story has also now been corrected on DailyMail.co.uk.

So no resolution tonight it seems?
Probably ironing out details with lawyers and such.

Anyone have a Sky Sports feed that's working?

Here, we see that Rooney, at age 24, now considers himself bigger than Manchester United. Bigger than the manager who started as a manager at Old Trafford when Rooney was 1 year old. Manchester United is no longer 'matching Rooney`s ambitions`. What ambitions, Wayne, are they (beyond that of deciding and judging Man Utd`s transfer policy)? What a breathtaking delusion and arrogance.
The thing is, Wayne, you might have not fully understood where you fit in United`s current malaise, and have excused yourself from helping the club that has given so much to you. If Man Utd are slumping in the League, conceding sloppy goals, it is, to a large extent because of you. You have brought the circus to United, against the desires of Siralex. Ferguson had to sit you out of the Everton game to protect you. He was prepared to do that. He then may or may not have invented an ankle injury so as not to play you against Valencia. Whatever his reasons for having done that, your boss was prepared to put his team (and your team-mates) at risk for YOUR benefit. United have been dragging around a zombie, it turns out since the middle of August, once the season had started. Even when fit, you have been playing as if you were wading through soup. Still, your club has been prepared to play you. That`s how important you were to United, and how strongly Ferguson feels about you.
And now that the club is having a difficulty, this is how you repay them? A truly loyal player would think how he can help that club. A truly talented player would consider how he could lift up the team. A truly gifted individual would see how his talents can help the team, rather than blaming the fact that the club is not bringing in the 'world class talent`. And a person with a modicum of intelligence could understand that it is, in fact, Wayne Rooney who is the cause of much of the club`s malaise rather than citing external circumstances.
Wayne Rooney should consider what responsibility he has to shape Manchester United`s future. Instead of that, through his megalomaniac actions, he`s as culpable as the Glazers in fostering the club`s decline.

To be fair, that's just a load of censored bullshit..."Rumour" can't talk and Vidic's English is not that tragic that he'd say that, surely?
This cover-up would indicate that maybe Rooney is in line to pull on the jersey before he fecks off, not a good thing IMO.
Pleased to hear that's been corrected. Was sure he hadn't said the words Rooney and even when I replayed it again it still sounded like "rumour".
who was it then questioning ronaldo's ability?'
ruud ? keane ? rio ?
ruud ? keane ? rio ?
"Right lads we have talked him around and he is going to stay"
"hoorrraaaayyy"
"oh feck what about the interviews we gave the other night"
"crap, wait i have an idea we will call the newspapers and say we were misquoted and get them to change the word rooney to, erm lets see.....not sure......ah rumour! yes that will do"
"patrice you need to tell them you were misquoted...."
"i cant do anything, im not a misquoted person, im just patrice evra..."
"feckin bender....."
or something along those lines maybe?
No, he said it on telly last night and he didn't say "Rooney".What the bollocks! All the start of a massive turn around maybe
Interesting post by the Chelsea fan. Only two dubious points. "It could be funny to see that Wayne has done exactly the same thing to the third biggest club in the world: going from declaring his intention to retire at United to jumping ship. However, the stunning lack of loyalty doesn`t end there." Not sure who he thinks are the two biggest!
He also says "You have to be particularly devoid of loyalty. Is that the kind of player Chelsea want on their books?" Surely Chelsea are the prototype of the club ruining football by syphoning players up by spending megabucks.
I agree with the rest of it though.

I just watched his speech again, and I garentuee that there will be a mass of stories written about the current United sqaud and situation by ABU reporters over the next few weeks. They'll be writing off Ferguson's Empire, claiming it has reached it's end. But I also garentuee you that within 3 years, just like he says, that this United team will once again be sitting as Champions of England, with new heroes that have risen from this group of youngsters. Macheda? Hernandez? Rafael? Cleverly? King? Smalling? Obertan? Bebe? Eikrem? Keane?
Who knows? I bet a few of those names are amongst them though.

The thing is, I don't want United to persuade Rooney, if that's what they are trying to do. I don't want to see him play again, not a minute. Do you?
True if he was talking about revenue generated.
cows
I like the cow next door!
Yes and No. He's a dickhead but he's a class player and losing him will be our club in significant decline if we can't spend the money on new players.
So wheres this statement then? ive been gone for the past 2 hours wanking natalie sawyer out of my system and i come back to nothing?? anything remotely interesting happened?
Just seen the Holloway rant, wow... guy is an absolute legend, sign him up as our number two!
We found out that Rooney is actually Rumour
'Rumour you ugly, fat, bald, granny-shagging, borderline-illiterate mongoloid', they'll probably shout.
That was shouted at me once...the pricks grave is my favourite toilet.
Wayne Rooney will enable Manchester City to 'win everything' says Carlos Tevez
Sheikh Mansour has personally asked Carlos Tévez whether he thinks Manchester City should sign Wayne Rooney with the striker fuelling the club owner’s appetite to pursue the audacious transfer by telling him: “with Wayne we will win everything”.
City are facing strong competition from Chelsea to sign the England striker who appears set to stay in the Premier League when he leaves Manchester United this January rather than consider a move abroad to Real Madrid.
Chelsea will make a lower bid than City but are convinced, according to sources, that they are ahead in the running right now despite the assumption that Rooney wants to remain in the north-west
The Premier League champions believe that Sir Alex Ferguson would rather sell to them, even though they will bid only around £20 million, than City, who are expected to offer £35-40 million, and that the United manager has the authority to do the deal.

They would like to sell Real quickly if they could and knock City out of the water, bringing in at least one Real player. That would take a bit of time to organise, just my thoughts
Stop naming Ruud in this saga like it is a fact. It is NOT. Fergie has not mentioned any names.
Bloody brilliant post, full quote.
No you are not. I don't care how much goals he will bang in if he stays. As far as I am concerned he could win us the treble and it wouldn't change anything. Get that fecking Judas out of the club, rather sooner than later. I'm usually aboslutely against booing but each and every fan who will throw abuse at him and boo him has my blessing. Wayne fecking Rooney, that fat Scouser and shagger of whores, is dead to me. He makes Tevez and Heinze look like saints!
Slightly longer version.
Legend.
I absolutely love, love, love Roy. Now he was a player I would call world-class and true United quality. Not that whingeing, greedy and pathetic Scouser. And Roy's right, we'll just do fine if we reinvest the money. We lost Ronaldo and we did fine - and Ronaldo was levels ahead of Rooney in each aspect of the game.
Is this where Sir Alex confesses to having sneaky sexual relations with Colleen Rooney?
TheMirror saying it may just be a holding statement
