It's due to his form he was being left out or substituted. Sir Alex said very eloquently said Rooney in form would not be dropped or substituted. Of course he's still a very good player. However, he's not indispensable, and on very high wages. I genuinely think the club want to sell.
It has probably been said a hundred times before in this thread but I'm really not fussed if he hangs around any more. If he doesn't want to be here I'd rather us get a nice sum of money for him and get his astronomical wages off of our hands than keep him here against his will. We have a very good plan B for him in Kagawa (who in my opinion will shine if given regular opportunities) and we could use the money to strengthen in other areas. He appears to have this mindset that he's big enough to hold the club to ransom and personally I don't want a personality like that at the club. If he wants to stay and apply himself, fantastic because he's a very good player - but don't keep him around if not.
Is it a sin to ask for a transfer from Man Utd? Who else has done it in recent times?
Ronaldo, Van Needle Dick are two i can think of from more recent times.
Evra? I'm sure I read on here that he asked to leave at some point.
He's done it twice, its not a sin but he's never going to be committed to us even though United have been committed to him. So deserved abuse and get rid
Would be gone instead of playing 90% of our matches
I think joining a domestic rival will anger a lot supporters, Arsenal must have felt the same when RVP decided he would stay in England instead of leaving for somewhere like Spain.
He asked to leave after the 2010 world cup and Fergie persueded him to stay. He's admitted it himself.
Anywhere but Chelsea and Citeh.
I'd put Heinze in the recent bracket as well, the cnut.
Did he say he asked to leave or spoke to the manager about leaving? He was obviously worried following the France debacle with him as captain
"After the World Cup, I'd told him that I wanted to go". Apparently Inter and Real were sniffing around him.
If it was a sin we'd be hypocrites wanting to sign other teams players who have asked for transfers. Transfers are big part of football these days. Some people act like jilted lovers if one of theirs dare ask for a transfer.
I don't believe either of the injuries. He wants a transfer but doesn't want to hand in an official one so he can get the loyalty bonus. He'll probably use the "I was forced out" card, but we're not that stupid. We have the advantage, let him sweat, make Chelsea bid something ridiculous like 45m pounds a few minutes before the deadline after Rooney hands in a transfer request.
Yep thats another the scummy little shit. I think Kanchelskis also did although that was due to all sorts of dealings he had himself with the Russian Mafia or something like that.
I feel like transfer requests are seriously rare for big players. What are some recent ones? Actual formal requests?
Normally the club relents and it doesn't come to that, but in this case...I'm not sure.
What is surprising is that Rooney still hasn't said a thing. That kind of silence is almost admirable.
Wonder what the rest of the squad thinks of him.

Dozens of player leave of their own accord, or at least partly so. From the O'Sheas and P Nevilles to the Beckhams and Ronaldos. Most of them just don't manage to come across as scuzzy little gits all the way through, or in their lives in general in fact.
Robin Van Persie traveled with the Arsenal squad and played in a friendly last summer.
Express, Mirror & Star going with the 'senior United stars revolt over Rooney distraction' story.
Logic fail.
We don't know anything for sure about his injury so it's pointless speculating.
If he goes he goes, if he stays he will receive my full backing and support.

Like Moyes said, he played on Saturday. Maybe, just maybe, he actually did get injured.
I think its pretty obvious that he was worried about things after the world cup and thats why he was looking for a new challenge.
A bit different to being "adamant" about leaving a couple of years ago, coming out in the press and questioning the club and staying for a large contract. I wasn't struck on Rooney after that - in fact I posted that it wouldnt be the end of it because it was resolved in a fishy way, out of the blue. Then he's asking to leave again a few years later and its no surprise to me.
Senior players/dressing room apparently fed up of him (according to BT Sports review of papers with a couple journalists). Seems like him staying may cause issues
Precisely my point. Seems as though people are looking for reasons to get shut now.
What is he supposed to have done to his shoulder exactly? If it was a dislocation i think we'd know about it, bruising to his shoulder is keeping him from the pre-season tour?
Senior players...one or more of Giggs, Evra, Rio, Vidic and Carrick is the inference there presumably.
It's a United ruse to ease the sale of Rooney to the Kardashians Chelsea.
Ah! But did he play on Saturday? Behind closed doors, no proof there was a game, maybe we invented it all!
Think about it; he didn't get to play with the other boys in Australia and Japan - I too would fake a shoulder injury if I had to travel to frickin Sweden! It has nothing to do with wanting to leave the club. It has everything to do with Sweden!
As if there werent already several amazing reasons?
One of the usual suspects and one broadsheet, they've got their ducks in a row as regards the players involved.
Convenient for both parties, in a way.
Shrek scared of an ogre....... Surely not!
Key thing to me is what the Indy says: Rooney's 'camp' happy that the senior players are turning on him cos it gives Rooney more grounds to claim his position is untenable. So cynical. They're literally looking for any reason at all to force the transfer aren't they?
Yes, the current batch only. My apologies to those who might have thought otherwise.
Real Betis doesn't even sound like a real team, tbh. Total bollocks.Ah! But did he play on Saturday? Behind closed doors, no proof there was a game, maybe we invented it all!
